This means that it

1. can be used to create a simple contact form in one minute
2. can be modified to be any other form you need
3. can be used as a starting point for your own AJAX forms in DNN

The app is built with the pattern Don't be DAFT (DAFT = Densely Abstract Features for Techies), aka the Anti-Abstraction pattern. So customizing it is mostly done using common technologies like HTML, JS and some C#.

Quick Intro To The Mobius Forms App for DNN

A DNN App is like a DNN module, just way better 😉. Since this is an open-code/open-source 2sxc-app, you can customize it to be anything you want! This list just shows what it already does, so you know what you get out-of-the-first-box.

1. Pre-Built Forms for use or learning
   1. Basic contact form with Subject, Message, Name, E-Mail
   2. A support-request form with a dropdown-example
   3. An example with JS show/hide logic and saving raw JSON-data
2. Form builder to add/change fields as you wish without requiring development
3. Ability to completely re-program how fields are generated
4. AJAX, so no page reloads for validation, sending or messages
5. Recaptcha (optional) validation on client and server
6. data is saved, together with the Timestamp, SenderIP, optionaly generated Title or even raw JSON-data
7. sends various e-mails, which are razor-templateable and has Reply-To and CC options
8. multi-language labels and messages, already translated into English and German/Deutsch
9. field validation uses html5 and pristinejs and works with multiple forms on the same page
10. you can easily review / manage / filter the submitted items in a table-view
11. export all submissions into an Excel-compatible XML format
12. open code C# WebApi easy to customize if you ever need to

Because it's so simple and uses 2sxc, you can easily

• translate it into any other language in minutes
• add more fields, even with special validation in minutes
• customize the e-mail templates
• send more e-mails, trigger other custom WebApi actions
• create more custom forms which store into further content-types
