Works with Revolution 2.0.0-pl.
Hmm this Add-on isn’t showing up in my Package Retriever?
Previously this was because I had the wrong version of revo installed but this time I have Revolution 2.0.0-pl rev7212
Any Ideas why?
(I did have it installed - but when an update didn’t work I decided to install it from scratch, which didn’t work as no package to download)

Sorry, I forgot to check the pl version when I uploaded it.
It should appear now.
Sweet thanks!
I can see it there now (under ’email’).
cheers,

I know this is a new addon, do any sample forms exist?? -- e.g. a sample of the resource containing what a basic form looks like and what the response chunks etc. look like?? -- so one can see how the form code should look basically??
The existing docs are confusing because they mention older MDOx versions and not much attention to the Revo 2.0 version...same for screenshots, I would just take MOCx 2.0 screenies and paste them alongside the other one...
Thank you, Tom
In Revolution, you can download and install it in a few seconds. It will create working contact form on your site. If you don’t like it, uninstall it and remove the package.
Way better than a screen shot.
Is your FormIt form called "Contact" ? That could be the problem.
There should be an SPForm folder under both chunks and snippets. If so, just create a page with this snippet tag:
[[!SPForm]]
You should see the basic form.
TBH, FormIt has infinitely more power and flexibility than SPForm, though it takes more work to set up and the spam-proofing features are a little more work to implement.

Formit has some noticeable deficiencies compared to millions of other form processors: 1) non-existent Cc/Bcc fields; 2) inability to pass form values to the thank you form or any other ’redirect’ page; 3) the From: field on the email sent to form recipients lacks the ability to show the sender’s name as entered on the form; 4) no documentation of where/how form values are stored...
Thank you, Tom
LOL. SPForm has most of those same deficiencies and then some.
