Formunculous 2.0 Released

January 30, 2010

I just released a new version of formunculous to the Internets.  It has

a bunch of new features for managing database or email backed Web forms.  It offers a lot of new functionality, and continues to bring easy form creation and processing.  Check it out at the Formunculous Source Forge page.

Here are the release notes:

New features:

  • Builder now integrated with Django admin interface
  • Forms can now be designated by django Site
  • Subforms now exist and enable many to one forms
  • There are new fields available including:
    • US Phone Number
    • US Zip code
    • US State
  • You can now have authenticated forms that can be filled out multiple times
  • You can choose to display drop down form elements with radio buttons
  • You can now have multi select drop down elements displayed either as  checkboxes or via a select widget
  •  All templates used for forms are customizable (i.e. confirmation, thankyou,  completion) by creating a template directory with the same name as the form definition's slug (i.e. contact-us/thankyou.html)
  • Fields are marked as dropdown safe to prevent having a file field withdropdown selections, as this doesn't make sense.
  • Completed forms are now searchable via the reviewing index
  • Completed forms now have pagination, the number displayed is configurable
  • CKEditor/WYSIWYG available on all HTML capable fields via a button

Bug fixes:

  • Massive style cleanup and prettifying, more compatible with IE
  • Fixed a sorting issue with submission date.
  • Boolean fields now default to False, previously they defaulted to Null/None



Future release plans:

  • Add bulk copying/per item copying of form elements in the building interface
  • Show user previous submissions for multiple authenticated forms
