|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Enable the 'Webform' module and desired sub-modules in 'Extend'.
|
|

|
|
(/admin/modules)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Set up user permissions. (/admin/people/permissions#module-webform)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Build a new webform (/admin/structure/webform)
|
|
|
|
|
or duplicate an existing template (/admin/structure/webform/templates).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Publish your webform as a:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Page:** By linking to the published webform.
|
|
|
|
|
(/webform/contact)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Node:** By creating a new node that references the webform.
|
|
|
|
|
(/node/add/webform)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Block:** By placing a Webform block on your site.

### Upgrading from pre-release versions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All existing configuration and submission data was maintained and updated
|
|
|
|
|
through the beta and rc release cycles.
|
|
|
|
|
**APIs have changed** during these release cycles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simply put, if you installed and used the Webform module out of the box AS-IS,
|
|
|
|
|
and now you want to upgrade to a full release, then
|
|
|
|
|
you _should_ be okay. If you extended webforms with plugins, altered
|
|
|
|
|
hooks, and overrode templates, you will need to read each release's
|
|
|
|
|
notes and assume that _things have changed_.

Drupal has a lot of modules aimed at helping site builders and users add webforms

to their sites. The [Comparison of Webform Building Modules](https://www.drupal.org/node/2083353)
