Formularium documentation

Formularium is a module for Omeka S. It allows administrators to build forms for public sites.

Form submissions are saved and can be viewed from the administration interface.

Submitting a form can also trigger several “actions”. There is only one kind of action at the moment: sending an email.

Goals

The primary goal of this module is to be a viable alternative for client-specific “contact us”-type forms.

It is also extensible so that other modules can add their own form components and actions.

Add the module to Omeka S
In the administration interface, click on “Formularium” in the navigation menu
Create a new form, give it a name and add “components” (form elements)
Optionally, add actions
Create a new page for your site, and add the “Formularium” block to this page. In the block settings, select the form you created. Or you can add the corresponding resource page block to the resource (item, media or item set) pages in the theme settings.

Create unlimited forms with an unlimited number of components and actions
Different component types: text, text area, dropdown list, checkbox, antispam (recaptcha), file upload, … (other modules can add their own)
One action type: send an email (other modules can add their own)
Forms can be displayed on site pages or on site resource pages
Form submissions are entirely saved (uploaded files included) so they can be viewed later. Deleting a form submission also removes the attached files.
A flag can be set to mark a form submission as “handled” (whatever that means to you)
Form submissions can be filtered by form, site, resource, user (if an authenticated user has made a submission), and handled status
Form submissions can be batch deleted and batch edited (batch edit only allows to change the handled status)

Contact Us is easier to set up. Formularium is more customizable
Contact Us has two antispam solutions: simple and recaptcha. Formularium has only recaptcha
