Form builder customisation ========================== For a basic usage example see :ref:`form_builder_usage`. Custom ``related_name`` for form fields --------------------------------------- If you want to change ``related_name`` for form fields (by default ``AbstractForm`` and ``AbstractEmailForm`` expect ``form_fields`` to be defined), you will need to override the ``get_form_fields`` method. You can do this as shown below. .. code-block:: python from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import ( FieldPanel, FieldRowPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel ) from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField from wagtail.wagtailforms.models import AbstractEmailForm, AbstractFormField class FormField(AbstractFormField): page = ParentalKey('FormPage', related_name='custom_form_fields') class FormPage(AbstractEmailForm): intro = RichTextField(blank=True) thank_you_text = RichTextField(blank=True) content_panels = AbstractEmailForm.content_panels + [ FieldPanel('intro', classname="full"), InlinePanel('custom_form_fields', label="Form fields"), FieldPanel('thank_you_text', classname="full"), MultiFieldPanel([ FieldRowPanel([ FieldPanel('from_address', classname="col6"), FieldPanel('to_address', classname="col6"), ]), FieldPanel('subject'), ], "Email"), ] def get_form_fields(self): return self.custom_form_fields.all() Custom form submission model ---------------------------- If you need to save additional data, you can use a custom form submission model. To do this, you need to: * Define a model that extends ``wagtail.wagtailforms.models.AbstractFormSubmission``. * Override the ``get_submission_class`` and ``process_form_submission`` methods in your page model. Example: .. code-block:: python import json from django.conf import settings from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder from django.db import models from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import ( FieldPanel, FieldRowPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel ) from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField from wagtail.wagtailforms.models import AbstractEmailForm, AbstractFormField, AbstractFormSubmission class FormField(AbstractFormField): page = ParentalKey('FormPage', related_name='form_fields') class FormPage(AbstractEmailForm): intro = RichTextField(blank=True) thank_you_text = RichTextField(blank=True) content_panels = AbstractEmailForm.content_panels + [ FieldPanel('intro', classname="full"), InlinePanel('form_fields', label="Form fields"), FieldPanel('thank_you_text', classname="full"), MultiFieldPanel([ FieldRowPanel([ FieldPanel('from_address', classname="col6"), FieldPanel('to_address', classname="col6"), ]), FieldPanel('subject'), ], "Email"), ] def get_submission_class(self): return CustomFormSubmission def process_form_submission(self, form): self.get_submission_class().objects.create( form_data=json.dumps(form.cleaned_data, cls=DjangoJSONEncoder), page=self, user=form.user ) class CustomFormSubmission(AbstractFormSubmission): user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Add custom data to CSV export ----------------------------- If you want to add custom data to the CSV export, you will need to: * Override the ``get_data_fields`` method in page model. * Override ``get_data`` in the submission model. The following example shows how to add a username to the CSV export: .. code-block:: python import json from django.conf import settings from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder from django.db import models from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import ( FieldPanel, FieldRowPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel ) from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField from wagtail.wagtailforms.models import AbstractEmailForm, AbstractFormField, AbstractFormSubmission class FormField(AbstractFormField): page = ParentalKey('FormPage', related_name='form_fields') class FormPage(AbstractEmailForm): intro = RichTextField(blank=True) thank_you_text = RichTextField(blank=True) content_panels = AbstractEmailForm.content_panels + [ FieldPanel('intro', classname="full"), InlinePanel('form_fields', label="Form fields"), FieldPanel('thank_you_text', classname="full"), MultiFieldPanel([ FieldRowPanel([ FieldPanel('from_address', classname="col6"), FieldPanel('to_address', classname="col6"), ]), FieldPanel('subject'), ], "Email"), ] def get_data_fields(self): data_fields = [ ('username', 'Username'), ] data_fields += super(FormPage, self).get_data_fields() return data_fields def get_submission_class(self): return CustomFormSubmission def process_form_submission(self, form): self.get_submission_class().objects.create( form_data=json.dumps(form.cleaned_data, cls=DjangoJSONEncoder), page=self, user=form.user ) class CustomFormSubmission(AbstractFormSubmission): user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) def get_data(self): form_data = super(CustomFormSubmission, self).get_data() form_data.update({ 'username': self.user.username, }) return form_data Note that this code also changes the submissions list view. Check that a submission already exists for a user ------------------------------------------------- If you want to prevent users from filling in a form more than once, you need to override the ``serve`` method in your page model. Example: .. code-block:: python import json from django.conf import settings from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder from django.db import models from django.shortcuts import render from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import ( FieldPanel, FieldRowPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel ) from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField from wagtail.wagtailforms.models import AbstractEmailForm, AbstractFormField, AbstractFormSubmission class FormField(AbstractFormField): page = ParentalKey('FormPage', related_name='form_fields') class FormPage(AbstractEmailForm): intro = RichTextField(blank=True) thank_you_text = RichTextField(blank=True) content_panels = AbstractEmailForm.content_panels + [ FieldPanel('intro', classname="full"), InlinePanel('form_fields', label="Form fields"), FieldPanel('thank_you_text', classname="full"), MultiFieldPanel([ FieldRowPanel([ FieldPanel('from_address', classname="col6"), FieldPanel('to_address', classname="col6"), ]), FieldPanel('subject'), ], "Email"), ] def serve(self, request, *args, **kwargs): if self.get_submission_class().objects.filter(page=self, user__pk=request.user.pk).exists(): return render( request, self.template, self.get_context(request) ) return super(FormPage, self).serve(request, *args, **kwargs) def get_submission_class(self): return CustomFormSubmission def process_form_submission(self, form): self.get_submission_class().objects.create( form_data=json.dumps(form.cleaned_data, cls=DjangoJSONEncoder), page=self, user=form.user ) class CustomFormSubmission(AbstractFormSubmission): user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) class Meta: unique_together = ('page', 'user') Your template should look like this: .. code-block:: django {% load wagtailcore_tags %} {{ page.title }}

{{ page.title }}

{% if user.is_authenticated and user.is_active or request.is_preview %} {% if form %}
{{ page.intro|richtext }}
{% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }}
{% else %}
You can fill in the from only one time.
{% endif %} {% else %}
To fill in the form, you must to log in.
{% endif %} Multi-step form --------------- The following example shows how to create a multi-step form. .. code-block:: python from django.core.paginator import Paginator, PageNotAnInteger, EmptyPage from django.shortcuts import render from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import ( FieldPanel, FieldRowPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel ) from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField from wagtail.wagtailforms.models import AbstractEmailForm, AbstractFormField class FormField(AbstractFormField): page = ParentalKey('FormPage', related_name='form_fields') class FormPage(AbstractEmailForm): intro = RichTextField(blank=True) thank_you_text = RichTextField(blank=True) content_panels = AbstractEmailForm.content_panels + [ FieldPanel('intro', classname="full"), InlinePanel('form_fields', label="Form fields"), FieldPanel('thank_you_text', classname="full"), MultiFieldPanel([ FieldRowPanel([ FieldPanel('from_address', classname="col6"), FieldPanel('to_address', classname="col6"), ]), FieldPanel('subject'), ], "Email"), ] def get_form_class_for_step(self, step): return self.form_builder(step.object_list).get_form_class() def serve(self, request, *args, **kwargs): """ Implements a simple multi-step form. Stores each step into a session. When the last step was submitted correctly, saves whole form into a DB. """ session_key_data = 'form_data-%s' % self.pk is_last_step = False step_number = request.GET.get('p', 1) paginator = Paginator(self.get_form_fields(), per_page=1) try: step = paginator.page(step_number) except PageNotAnInteger: step = paginator.page(1) except EmptyPage: step = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages) is_last_step = True if request.method == 'POST': # The first step will be submitted with step_number == 2, # so we need to get a form from previous step # Edge case - submission of the last step prev_step = step if is_last_step else paginator.page(step.previous_page_number()) # Create a form only for submitted step prev_form_class = self.get_form_class_for_step(prev_step) prev_form = prev_form_class(request.POST, page=self, user=request.user) if prev_form.is_valid(): # If data for step is valid, update the session form_data = request.session.get(session_key_data, {}) form_data.update(prev_form.cleaned_data) request.session[session_key_data] = form_data if prev_step.has_next(): # Create a new form for a following step, if the following step is present form_class = self.get_form_class_for_step(step) form = form_class(page=self, user=request.user) else: # If there is no next step, create form for all fields form = self.get_form( request.session[session_key_data], page=self, user=request.user ) if form.is_valid(): # Perform validation again for whole form. # After successful validation, save data into DB, # and remove from the session. self.process_form_submission(form) del request.session[session_key_data] # Render the landing page return render( request, self.landing_page_template, self.get_context(request) ) else: # If data for step is invalid # we will need to display form again with errors, # so restore previous state. form = prev_form step = prev_step else: # Create empty form for non-POST requests form_class = self.get_form_class_for_step(step) form = form_class(page=self, user=request.user) context = self.get_context(request) context['form'] = form context['fields_step'] = step return render( request, self.template, context ) Your template for this form page should look like this: .. code-block:: django {% load wagtailcore_tags %} {{ page.title }}

{{ page.title }}

{{ page.intro|richtext }}
{% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }}
Note that the example shown before allows the user to return to a previous step, or to open a second step without submitting the first step. Depending on your requirements, you may need to add extra checks. Show results ------------ If you are implementing polls or surveys, you may want to show results after submission. The following example demonstrates how to do this. First, you need to collect results as shown below: .. code-block:: python from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import ( FieldPanel, FieldRowPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel ) from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField from wagtail.wagtailforms.models import AbstractEmailForm, AbstractFormField class FormField(AbstractFormField): page = ParentalKey('FormPage', related_name='form_fields') class FormPage(AbstractEmailForm): intro = RichTextField(blank=True) thank_you_text = RichTextField(blank=True) content_panels = AbstractEmailForm.content_panels + [ FieldPanel('intro', classname="full"), InlinePanel('form_fields', label="Form fields"), FieldPanel('thank_you_text', classname="full"), MultiFieldPanel([ FieldRowPanel([ FieldPanel('from_address', classname="col6"), FieldPanel('to_address', classname="col6"), ]), FieldPanel('subject'), ], "Email"), ] def get_context(self, request, *args, **kwargs): context = super(FormPage, self).get_context(request, *args, **kwargs) # If you need to show results only on landing page, # you may need check request.method results = dict() # Get information about form fields data_fields = [ (field.clean_name, field.label) for field in self.get_form_fields() ] # Get all submissions for current page submissions = self.get_submission_class().objects.filter(page=self) for submission in submissions: data = submission.get_data() # Count results for each question for name, label in data_fields: answer = data.get(name) if answer is None: # Something wrong with data. # Probably you have changed questions # and now we are receiving answers for old questions. # Just skip them. continue if type(answer) is list: # Answer is a list if the field type is 'Checkboxes' answer = u', '.join(answer) question_stats = results.get(label, {}) question_stats[answer] = question_stats.get(answer, 0) + 1 results[label] = question_stats context.update({ 'results': results, }) return context Next, you need to transform your template to display the results: .. code-block:: django {% load wagtailcore_tags %} {{ page.title }}

{{ page.title }}

Results

{% for question, answers in results.items %}

{{ question }}

{% for answer, count in answers.items %}
{{ answer }}: {{ count }}
{% endfor %} {% endfor %}
{{ page.intro|richtext }}
{% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }}
You can also show the results on the landing page.
