Description

A new chapter should be added to give the editor a quick start.

"Quick win" - one page chapter to just jump into using EXT:form. Steps to describe:

  • make sure fluid and form static TS is working
  • create a form with the editor
  • if desired: move YAML to a dedicated extension
    • thus providing custom YAML definition with `TYPO3.CMS.Form.persistenceManager.allowedExtensionPaths`
    • possibly explaining the optional additional flag `allowSaveToExtensionPaths`
    • otherwise wizard cannot be used anymore and it's hard to jump to pure YAML at first
  • if needed: provide translation to the various fields
  • final step:
    • open page module
    • select page
    • create new content element of type "Mail Form"
    • tab "Plugin" -> choose form -> save
    • if needed: override finisher configuration
  • enjoy
