Overwriting form #2

Closed driesdesmet closed 13 years ago

driesdesmet commented 13 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to use a custom contact form with your plugin. In cms_plugins.py there is: from forms import AkismetContactForm, RecaptchaContactForm, HoneyPotContactForm which uses the supplied forms.py file. Is there a pythonic way of overwriting this? Putting a forms.py in my main project's directory doesn't seem to work. Any pointers welcome.

Hm, that's a good question.

Why do you need a custom contact form and how does it look like? Maybe I can extend my plugin accordingly.

I simply need some extra fields: name, address, location, tel number in addition to what you have right now: e-mail, subject and content. I'm not too familiar with how cms_plugin models work, but with conventional models, you would simply pass a form class as an argument. That would be the ideal, more versatile solution. You could also name the current form 'baseform' and the one I need would become 'extendeform' but I'm afraid other users will have different needs...

btw: thanks for providing this plugin nevertheless. I'm new with github and how to work with it. But it's awesome...

Ok, I'll think about extending the plugin either by enabling the user to choose a custom form or by providing means for adding custom fields. For now just hack the plugin and change the provided forms and template to fit your needs.

Thanks to dsh2dsh subclassing is now possible. Have a look at the examples folder.
