Form Folder Settings

Learn how to adjust the settings for your PloneFormGen form folder

So far you've created a basic form that should look like this:

Adding Text to the Form

By default, a form starts with E-Mail Address, Subject and Comments.

Before you learn how to add new fields, or change existing ones, let's look at how you can add some simple text above and below the form.

You may want to include instructions to your site visitor about how to fill out your form, or what the purpose of the form is supposed to be. You can add that descriptive text as follows:

  1. Edit the Form Folder by clicking on Edit in the taskbar.
  2. Next, click on the Decoration link at the top of the page, between default and overrides.
  3. Now you'll see two Body Text areas called Prologue and Epilogue (which means before and after). Use the text editor to format your content, include links, and even pictures. Push Save when you're all done.

Here's an example of a "Decorated" Form Folder:
