Form Designer/Hoster/Collector for LAMP

@jdaviescoates thanks

KoboToolbox looks interesting but like OhMyForm, they favour Docker.
Embarrassingly my Docker knowledge & familiarity is poor. I must rectify that somehow.

I see someone has packaged OhMyForm but I am not sure how to go about installing an unofficial app (not from Cloudron).

@girish good question ! That's part of what I'm struggling with.

I was using https://formtools.org/ and was happy with core functionality, but while their website has been freshened, the UI for the app is very dated and a bit clumsy. So not sure I would recommend it.

Let me research a bit more, and see if I can suggest something.

https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/comparing-the-best-php-form-builders--cms-32273 has a few options

@robi Thanks
The focus in on form building, and there are a ton of those around.
They seem to miss the form hosting & response collection.
Unless it is I who is missing something.

@timconsidine I've only used this plugin to create a simple product helper once but it might fit your needs since you can customize it any way you want. It's a paid plugin ($44 USD) on Envato: https://codecanyon.net/item/wp-cost-estimation-payment-forms-builder/7818230

@timconsidine Can you simply integrate LimeSurvey which we already have on Cloudron?

Otherwise there's things like:
https://github.com/tellform/tellform
https://www.orbeon.com/
https://form.io/
https://formbeaver.com/

@robi said in Form Designer/Hoster/Collector for LAMP:

I installed Limesurvey but find it unusable.
It works. It's just ugly, slow, overly complex and totally over-spec'ed, useless import options.
I guess it's a good solution for some use cases. But not mine sadly.

Thanks for the other options. Will check them out.

I think I found my solution : Budibase ! (see App wishlist)
Will look into packaging it, but never done it, so don't hold your breath.

@timconsidine there's also https://github.com/surveyjs/survey-library but it's more a library than an app.

[timconsidine]

@girish surveyjs looks great.
It can certainly help with some projects/use cases.
But think I will pursue Budibase as the more complete design/host/collect responses solutions.
Got it working (easily after stupid error on my side) and will look at putting on a VPS. Would rather it is in Cloudron, but not sure I am competent enough to build it as custom app. Maybe will have a bash.
