Form

In CCMS, you can create a simple feedback form with simple steps:

1. Create a file with .form as extension. Either make a folder then create index.form inside, or make a file anyname.form in an existing folder.

2. In the form, you should provide three sections. A sample script is like this:

   Test Form
   =======
   This is the header shown above the form, in markdown format.
   
   [FORM]
   (QUESTIONS HERE, REFER TO BELOW FOR FORMATTING)
   
   [THANKYOU]
   Thank you
   =======
   Thank you for submitting the form!

   The [FORM] and [THANKYOU] are keywords that divide the parts. So you must keep them.

3. The first line under [FORM] is the email address which feedbacks would be sent to.
   After that, each line of text [FORM] represents a question. There are five fields separated by tabs.
   1. A letter representing that the control is a fieldset (S) or a field (F).
   2. The long description of the question.
   3. The name of the control (this is the name attribute used in the <input> element, so it must be a valid element name. (End of input for a fieldset)
   4. The data type that the answer expects. Possible values:
      1. STRING
      2. TEXTAREA
      3. PHONE
      4. EMAIL
      5. SELECT(OPTIONA|OPTIONB|OPTIONC|....) - Each option separated by a |
      6. CHECK
      7. RADIO(OPTIONA|OPTIONB|OPTIONC|....) - Each option separated by a |
      8. INT(A,B) - Accepts integers between A and B
      9. FLOAT(A,B) - Accepts any number between A and B
   5. The optional OPTIONAL parameter, stating that the question is optional

   An example:
   (Notes: Tabs are shown as >. Comments are indented and unnumbered lines. They are just for explaining how it works. You should not put any such comments in your code.)

1  Hello

5  [FORM]

7  S>Part 1>part1
	(The first fieldset called part1 with legend "Part 1")
8  F>Your name>name>STRING
	(The first field "name". I expect a string, and it is not optional)
9  F>Your age>age>INT(0,100)
	(The second field "age". I expect an integer between 0 and 100)
10 S>Part 2>part2
	(So we have ended the first fieldset and started another.)
11 F>How did you find us?>how_know>SELECT(YAHOO!|GOOGLE|MSN)>OPTIONAL
	(We created a select box with 3 options, and it's optional.)
12 F>How would you rate my site?>rate>RADIO(Wonderful|Good|OK|Bad|Just sucks)
