Forms¶

Forms in Juniper are very powerful. They are directly integrated with other applications and can be used for many different purposes.

In this chapter, you will discover how to:

Add a form in your custom theme.
Change the action of the form.
Stylize the form thanks to Bootstrap variables.

Default form¶

To add a form to your page, you can simply copy and paste the code generated by the Website Builder in your view.

It should look something like the following.

<form action="/website/form/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="o_mark_required" data-mark="*" data-pre-fill="true" data-success-mode="redirect" data-success-page="/contactus-thank-you" data-model_name="mail.mail">
     <div class="s_website_form_rows row s_col_no_bgcolor">
          <div class="form-group s_website_form_field col-12    s_website_form_dnone" data-name="Field">
               <!-- form fields -->
           </div>
     </div>
</form>

Actions¶

There is a data-model_name in the form tag. It enables you to define different actions for your form.

Send an email (this action is used by default).

<form data-model_name="mail.mail">

Apply for a job.

<form data-model_name="hr.applicant">

Create a customer.

<form data-model_name="res.partner">

Create a ticket.

<form data-model_name="helpdesk.ticket">

Create an opportunity.

<form data-model_name="crm.lead">

Create a task.

<form data-model_name="project.task">

Success¶

You can also define what happens once the form is submitted thanks to the data-success-mode.

Redirect the user to a page defined in the data-success-page.

<form data-success-mode="redirect" data-success-page="/contactus-thank-you">

Show a message (on the same page).

<form data-success-mode="message">

You can add your success message directly under the form tag. Always add the d-none class to make sure that your success message is hidden if the form hasn’t been submitted.

<div class="s_website_form_end_message d-none">
     <div class="oe_structure">
          <section class="s_text_block pt64 pb64" data-snippet="s_text_block">
               <div class="container">
                     <h2 class="text-center">This is a success!</h2>
               </div>
          </section>
     </div>
</div>

Bootstrap variables¶

As you already know, the Website Builder creates content based on Bootstrap. This is also true for forms. Below you can find a selection of Bootstrap variables, or check out the full list of variables.
