Form Tools clarification
#6
Ah yes, you are absolutely correct. The general idea behind FormTools, I think is that it is the processor behind the form. It processes and parses data submitted on a form, then does something with it. In most cases that includes storing submission data in a database as well as sending out an e-mail based on certain criteria.

It is only recently with the Form Builder module that FormTools can now actually create the form itself via a user interface, which can then be published to your website and then processed with the FormTools back-end.

But technically speaking, you are correct in saying that creating forms for your website is typically done via manually coding the HTML, using a feature like the Form Builder module or something similar.

The one thing that sets FormTools apart here from being just a form processor, is that you can actually create, submit and store data for forms without publishing to your website (ie: Internal Forms that require a FormTools user login). While I don't use Internal Forms myself, I guess that would be a pretty handy feature at the core of the design.

I should also note here (at least personally), that I haven't used the Form Builder. As someone who does a lot of manual HTML anyway, I simply prefer to code the forms on my website myself. Then I use FormTools to process them by adding them to the FormTools admin area, etc. That works out pretty nicely for me. I suppose if I didn't have much experience in HTML, I would prefer using the Form Builder as a user interface to help me design a form, then I could simply copy and paste (maybe the Form Builder module has an FTP option?) the form into my website.

Either way, I think you can see now, that with a little design work, you can use FormTools to perfectly accomplish your original set of goals asked here Smile
Not a FT employee, just a FT user lending a hand. If I've been helpful, please rate.
