    What are the best practices for accepting form data.

    Should I have a snippet that should generate a form entirely by itself OR

    Have the snippet fill in the placeholders for the form a chunk?

    If I am not making any sense, please let me know how best I can handle form submissions. I noticed that there is an eForm snippet but it seems to specify handling email submissions.

      You can use a parameter to tell eForm not to mail anything; I use it for all of my forms.

      Create your forms any way you like; the chunk templates/placeholders just make it more flexible for designing different forms.
