      Great to see that list of upcoming things! Will you email us when a new version is available or should we just check the initial download-link from time to time?

      One thing I really need is to specify a receiver mail address that has nothing to do with a modx user, for example something generic like [email protected] (could be toAddress) and maybe also a "toName" field in the form creating overlay. Further it would be nice to have a system setting where a fromAddress, replyToAddress and fromName could be specified (or will it just take the ones from modx mail-system settings? (would be nice to customize anyway =D)

      Ah, and still wondering, this extra doesn't even depend on FormIt right??
      • I don't see how it could work with FormIt at all. FormIt requires an existing form to work with, and the form doesn't exist until the mxFormBuilder snippet generates it.

          Yeah, that's exactly what I thought...just was thinking I (if building something like this) would somehow have tried to take advantage of the already available code (not that I need it in this extra, it's actually great it works without anything else) and somehow delegate the processing to the formit class =)...
          • Sorry everyone, I did post up an updated version the other days that fixed my debug info, all the sql stuff in the rendering. It also fixed up the emails as I had changed the template names and didn't carry them all the way through. I'll have another update tomorrow with more changes to some of the core items I think to really get this off the ground with extra flexibility (see list in prior post).

            The latest version is 0.0.6-beta, just in case.

            Cheers

              • I wonder if this could be a pre-hook for Formit?

                  What events (double-click, single-click, buttons) would make the most intuitive solution for navigating the elements of the form?

                  Update
                  Remove
                  Manage Fields
                  View Submissions
                  Duplicate
                  I like how the Articles component does it with a list of articles and underneath the buttons. See screenshot.

                  Furthermore, perhaps you could redesign the manager page into something resembling common ModX resources. That is, the form properties on top (open date, owners, name etc.) where page properties such as Title, Description, Cacheability etc. are.
                  And the form fields below (where the content field of a ModX resource usually is)

                  Btw, great that you are so open to input! It's what makes ModX so cool.

                    I am planning on extending a snippet that extends just the validation type rules like an API just for validation, not sure if that was the direction you were going.

                      Yes, thats the ticket... I think thats would be brilliant but we still have one page in front of that where you actually create the form though or some interface maybe just a simple bar across the top with a drop down (or expandable panel) of current forms with of course a button to create a new one.
