The webforms plugin¶
The webforms plugin adds functionality for
defining and using bot-proof webforms. This includes the
Contact form and the Register form pages.
Register form¶
A form where anonymous visitors can apply for a user account on this site.
The form asks to fill the following fields:
First name and Last name
Email address
User name
Password
When using this form, we recommend to set
lino.modlib.users.user_type_new to 'applicant' and to define a
user type of that name. The users created via this form will then have
the user type “Applicant”. Applicant users should have only limited permissions,
usually they can just modify their user settings. Site admins will then have a
table of “Applicants” that shows these new user requests and where they can
assign them a proper user type.
Contact form¶
A form where anonymous visitors can ask to get contacted by a human.
Concepts¶
- webform¶
An input form that is accessible to anonymous users and therefore needs additional tests to make it bot-proof.
