Create a form inside block

[vitali-karmanov]

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you for creating Piraha CMS. I have been using it for the last month and it's been great!

The only issue I have encountered so far is how to handle forms. I would like to be able to create and submit a form inside a custom block, and ideally, receive the parameters inside CustomBlock.cshtml.

The idea is to have the ability to create and manage form submissions within a block.

I'm looking forward to your reply. Thank you!

Well, there are an infinite number of solutions to this problem :) But if I would build a form module I would:

1. Add a custom DbContext with tables to keep form responses for a specific form "id"
2. Create the form within the block (or reference a pre-defined form from a block)
3. When submitting the form from webapplication I would post it to a custom controller with the form "id" (could be reused from block id if the form is created on the block itself).

This way I could add a isolated view in the Manager UI where all submissions for all forms could be listed, but I could also add links to the submissions from the block itself when editing the page.

This is just one suggestion though. Let me know if you'd like to collaborate on a more generic solution or if you're only interested in building something custom for you own application.

Regards
