Eform Helper Scripts

I really like eform, but since I still hate making forms, I wrote 2 helper scripts that get the job mostly done. One is a wizard that will start a form for you from a list of labels, and the other takes that form (or any form), and spits out a table suitable for an eform report email.

Although they are pretty primitive, I’ve use these scripts at least once a week to jump start my form development, and just thought I would share them with every one here.

You can find them here.

Anyone else have ways they use to speed up form development?

Cool wizards. I like the Easy Form Wizard. I was unable to understand how to use the Form Report Helper. I have not used eForm much so maybe it would be self explanatory if I did. I am sure this will come in real handy.

Nice initiative, the community could benefit from other wizard type tools as well.

Hey Thanks! To use the Form report helper, just past a form into the text box (it can be any form, not necessarily one used for eform). Then select MODx Placeholder tags or PHP echo tags, and the two table options below the textarea to see what it can do. It would make more sense if you used eForm before eForm emails a report of what was filled out in the form to someone. This script helps to generate that report.
