    I did a little searching around the site and didn't find anything that mentioned the Form Tools project: http://formtools.org/

    I just helped a friend incorporate this script into their non-MODx, HTML/Javascript site. I actually used the Beta version found here: http://ft2.formtools.org/ and appreciated that it included Swiftmailer as a module and reCAPTCHA as an API. This is not a form generator but is a tool that helps manage form to email and form to database functions. It also has a browser based admin function that is used for setup, management and access. You could replicate most of the functionality in MODx using a combination of the existing snippets:

    eForm - http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=123
    Form Processor - http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=157
    eForm2db - http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,8111.0.html
    Swiftmailer - http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,19370.0.html
    reCAPTCHA - http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=16745.0

    I was just wondering if anybody else has experience with Form Tools? It was a struggle for me at first to get my head wrapped around how it worked but now that I understand it better I think I'll try to integrate it with MODx on one of my sites that uses a lot of forms.

    Thoughts?

    Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is.

    I've never used it but recently did some freelance work on a MODx site that was using it. They had it setup as a stand alone application working sibe by side with MODx (not integrated). Once you have the form code you can add it to a chunk (or directly to the content field) and it will ba available on the page. I did not work on the forms (only edited the templates) so I am not aware of any additional steps.

    I suspect I'll be challenged trying to get Form Tools integrated with MODx via SSO. Form Tools is not integrated with any CMS yet that I can find in their forums. Maybe when I get some free time I'll see if I can get MODx to be the first.

    Hi chuck. Do you have any news about the integration of FormTools inside MODx !? Because I'm thinking in doing the same thing as you. What were your difficulties in bringing those different frameworks together !?
