Forms & Custom Fields

Arguably Caribou's secret weapons, the Forms module and custom fields allow you to extend Caribou's functionality without any programming knowledge.

  • Form Builder

    Form Builder

    Add form fields and options easily with the Form Builder. Create things like Contact Forms for your website's frontend or manage new types of content by creating a new backend form. You can also add custom fields to system forms (products, content, users, and affiliates).

  • Submissions Database

    Submissions Database

    Each form generates a new database in your system for form submissions. For frontend forms, you can easily view submissions that your visitors have made. For backend forms, you can use these databases to display new content in the frontend.

  • Form Plugins

    Form Plugins

    Have an idea not currently included in the Forms module? Write or download a form plugin to extend form functionality. Form plugins are triggered upon form validation, data saving, and data editing.

  • Get Results by Email

    Get Submissions by Email

    Automatically be alerted to a new form submission (and its contents) with this feature. Submissions will still be stored in your database, of course.
