Documentation

Customization Guide Available

Thursday, 24 June 2010 13:26 CDT

The customization guide covers everything from simple CSS customization of all aspects of Formunculous to replacing entire built-in templates globally, to replacing the templates just for a single form definitions.

If you find mistakes, missing information, like it, etc. let me know in the comments or via the contact form and I will look into it post haste.

Minor Release Coming Soon

Sunday, 13 June 2010 13:00 CDT

I just thought I would put it out there that I am aware that there are some minor incompatibilities with Formunculous 2.1.0 and Django 1.2. This includes both the CSRF framework addition as well as the backwards incompatible change with formsets. Both of these can be temporarily worked around by commenting out the CSRF middleware from your settings.py file if it is there:

...
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
...
#	django.middleware.csrf.CsrfMiddleware
...
)

and if you have is with sub-forms with the Max Forms value set to 0 sub-forms are no longer displayed. You will temporarily need to change from 0, to sufficiently high number to work around this until 2.1.1 is released.

Install Guide

Sunday, 13 June 2010 12:53 CDT

The Production Install and Config Guide is finished over in the Documentation section, and should be quite useful for people having a hard time getting Func up and running in an standard Apache style Django installation.

It covers setuptools installation, the settings.py options Func needs, how to specify the url include, and how to get the static media working. I hope to get up a styling and customization guide in the near future to show how to use CSS rules to style func forms for your site, and completely customize individual forms and thank you pages using custom templates. So look for that in the near future.

Created Quickstart Guide

Monday, 10 May 2010 14:22 CDT

Woohoo. I have the first piece of documentation up for Formunculous. This is one of the primary reasons for the creating this site, and I didn't really have of it completed when I first put this site up. It is a quick start guide for installing and running formunculous using the included configuration for the Django dev server.

I hope to have more detailed guides and reference documentation in the coming weeks, but for now, there is at least something to get you started experimenting with func. I also hope to have a video demonstration up in a bit to accompany the guide, so look for that in the near term.
