Form Wizard

This plugin allows you to easily create AJAX forms for Winter CMS.

Why Form Wizard?

Building forms is a core task in almost every web project. However, manually managing field configurations, validation rules, and data storage can quickly become a repetitive and time-consuming process.

Form Wizard was designed to solve this. It allows you to build powerful forms by simply defining your HTML elements, skipping the boilerplate backend coding. Let the wizardry handle your database storage and email notifications automatically.

What makes Form Wizard different?

Unlike the original plugin, Form Wizard includes a powerful Visual Form Builder. You can now create, manage, and validate forms entirely within the Winter CMS backend, dragging and dropping your way to perfect forms—no HTML required!

Features

• Visual Form Builder (Create forms in the backend)
• Create any type of form: contact, feedback, uploads, etc
• Write only HTML
• Don't code forms logic
• Laravel validation
• Custom validation errors
• Use multiple forms on same page
• Store on database

• Send mail notifications to multiple recipients
• Auto-response email on form submit
• reCAPTCHA validation (v2 and v3)
• Support for Translate plugin
• Inline errors with fields (read documentation for more info)
• File uploads using Filepond
