Take control of your Portal Registration Processes using dynamically generated forms. The forms are made from pure HTML with customized [TAGS] to hold the fields for the form. Each field is replaced with ASP.Net controls at runtime, to create a professional form with advanced input validation and process flow.

You can easily create custom forms for almost any information gathering requirement, as well as automate several important parts of your website: New User Registration and Portal Creation. You can also create custom procedures or integrate other modules that work within the DotNetNuke Framework, such as selecting a prebuilt Portal Template using the KodHedZ Portal Duplicator, authorizing payment using a custom eCommerce Gateway or creating a custom order form for services or invoicing.

For the ease of use, this module includes complete Template Packaging options for easy export of your created forms into a zip file, or importing forms from a packaged form zip file. This allows you to propagate and deploy your Forms within any portal as you desire, without needing to recreate them manually for each portal installation. (You will still need to install the Form into the new portal)

The way a user enters information to the form can be in a variety of formats:

• text boxes
• drop down lists
• radio button lists
• check boxes
  
  

The entire process starts with a simple HTML formatted template. This template Includes simple tags surrounded by square brackets [TAGNAME] that represent each field in any custom form you make, very similar to the way DotNetNuke handles Skinning. When the form is created for the user, each of these special tags is replaced by several custom asp.net controls allowing the display, input entry, and validation of input.

The first control is a label that defines the name of this field in the form. This is directly followed by the selected type of field control (checkbox, radiobuttonlist, dropdownlist, or textbox). If you have defined validation for the field, then there will be a control validator created for the field, which will display directly after the control.

There are several advanced options for properties for certain control formats.

Each field on your form is comprised of several parts. It must have a label to describe the field. It must have an entry area for input, and it must have optional validation of the entry.

The text box may require input validation, and so dynamic validators are created for these controls. Regular expression validators, compare validators for password fields, and required input field validators are the supported types.

You can also design the mode for the text box, single line, password, or multiline. If you would like a multiple line text box, you can also select the number of rows.
