Hi,

What can be used within EPI for the feedback forms?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

For newest version of CMS you should check out new Episerver forms addon for custom forms. For older versions 8 or below, you can use xforms for simple forms. For higher volumes of replies or advanced forms I recommend custom building forms using standard.NET functionality. 

Check out addon for forms here 

http://world.episerver.com/add-ons/episerver-forms/

And the more updated one (like Arild pointed out below...)

http://webhelp.episerver.com/16-1/EN/addons/episerver-forms/episerver-forms.htm

For older sites and xforms check out:

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Can you use XForms also for getting customer feedbacks?

I see that episerver-forms is yet in Beta version any ideas when it is going to final..

Best regards,

Dharmi

Episerver forms is out of beta now. Documentation hasn't been updated to reflect that though. So use new Forms addon if possible. Xforms is old and on its last breath...

You can use xforms as well for feedback forms but you can only have a single step in form, no file uploads etc. It's pretty limited but works for simple forms...so if you just want something now that works it's OK to use but it will probably be marked obsolete in future versions of episerver I guess so I wouldn't invest too much time in that direction.

You can see a nice comparison here

The correct and updated link for Episerver Forms documentation is http://webhelp.episerver.com/16-1/EN/addons/episerver-forms/episerver-forms.htm

(where the Beta label is removed as this is the official 1.0 version).

Right! Just need to change the one on world though. Kind of misleading atm if you just check on addon section where it's marked as beta. I'll add that as feedback...

Search and forms was two weak spots with episerver in the past. Really nice that they've nailed the forms too now.

Thanks, Daniel! The Beta label has been removed from the documentation on World as well.
