Creating form inside Joomla article?

[vicn1222]

Hi,

I am trying to build a custom submission form inside Joomla article. Is there an Joomla form php base class that I can derive from and build my own custom form, which can be rendered inside Joomla article?

I see some plugins, but it may be easier for me to just create one myself since I need js and ajax validation for user inputs.

Thanks.

Most of the existing form builders have field validation.

For your own, you'd need to write an extension or set of extensions comprising - plugin(s), module(s), component(s) (possibly a mix of all three) to handle various aspects e.g. plugin might handle the field validation, module displays the form, component to manage the back-end entries and form configuration and/or displays the form through a menu item etc).

I believe you could start here for developer resources on extension development: https://docs.joomla.org/Category:Extension_development

Most of the form builder extensions allow you to design/build/customise a form with the fields that you need and insert it into an article.

Building your own might be a case of reinventing the wheel.

As to putting the form inside a joomla article, that can be achieved in several ways:

loadposition or loadmodule are two that exist in joomla

There are also third party extensions such as Modules Anywhere by Regular Labs.

Thank you all for the reply.

Currently I am doing it myself. I feel it may be harder to use any plugins.

I am writing a generic subscription module using MVC that supports subscription products selection, payment method selection (PayPal, stripe, credit card, etc.), user registration information etc. I also need to listen to webhook events to update user account accordingly, and send out email if next payment fails, etc. it is hard to use any existing plugins.
