Form as panel widget #88

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Would it be possible to make the forms plugin able to include forms as a widget 
in a panel?

very possible.

there are a few problems that would need to be addressed.

when a form is submitted, there is no way to identify which form the submitted 
data came from, so if you have two form widgets and one is submitted, it may be 
run through both of them at the same time.

to solve this, the form front-end code would need to be changed to identify 
which form it is.

while I'm at it, the form should also be changed to use AJAX for submission, 
for faster responses, to help avoid spam-bots, to reduce bandwidth and page 
reloads, and because AJAX is cool.

not sure when I'd get to this - I have a lot to do this week - translation 
stuff, more product stuff, etc.
