So I'm in a fractious mood and can't settle on anything. Time for some ideas then.
The notion of needing custom forms is nothing new. Different sites have them for different purposes. Then we have the contact form plugin that already exists, and I figured I could solve both issues at once.
So here's the thought I'm having: a system that allows admins to build forms in their site with the following:
* permissions of who can see the form
* what should happen when the form is submitted (any/all of the following, would be configurable)
- create a new topic in a given board
- send emails to people
- send PMs to people
* allow creating forms out of modular units, i.e. the different things we might want in forms (textboxes, bbcboxes, numbers, select boxes etc etc)
* optional whether the CAPTCHA is required
* optionally adding them to the menu somewhere
* optionally creating an action for them for easy linking[1]
Thoughts? Does it seem like it needs anything else? Of course it would have all the usual Arantoric refinements. :eheh:
