Hello
I am here looking for some help creating my form, the documentation is very big to read, and I cannot find what I need quickly.
Whaty I am looking for is a form to submit an order, and i would like to integrate PayPal.
I am not sure if i will be able to make another form to search and display records from the orders page?
Kindly help

You can certainly create a form to accept orders, and integrate PayPal. The submitted information will be stored in FormTools, but I'm not sure what you mean by making another form to search and display records from the orders. If you are looking for a way for you or another client to view all of the orders, that is possible and what formtools does best!
I know the documentation is lengthy, but it should be simple to follow. Good luck!

I'm glad you got it working!
Are you using the swift mailer module to send mail? I had the same problem and found that my mail server was set to have a delay in sending/receiving mail for some SPAM prevention methods. This may have something to do with it. To rule that out, you might set up a test email account on another server like gmail and use the swift mailer module. If it processes fast you will know it's a problem with a setting on your mail server.
As for the template issue can you show us what you are pasting into the template field? Is the email being sent at all or just not showing the template you created?

To make a dynamic form you will need to build a custom form outside of the form builder module. How you will accomplish that depends on where that data is coming from and what type of fields you are auto-filling based on the dropdown.
