"How to Create a New Custom Form" is a tutorial that steps through creating some new form fields and using XPATH/XSLT to control how they interact with XML.  This is geared towards someone who will add new fields to an existing form or who will troubleshoot issues related to how forms are interacting with XML.  This wiki does not cover XPATH/XSLT, and to use this information, you need to separately learn about XPATH/XSLT because the XML forms are using XPATH/XSLT to interact with XML records on your site.


Where is Forms Management on my Islandora Site?


To get to forms management:

1) Click to "Islandora" in the admin menu across the top of the page.

2) A window will pop up in the middle of the screen.  Click to "Form Builder".

3)  This shows you all forms on your site.  There are several built in forms that cannot be deleted (you uninstall them by deleting the form association on each).  Any custom forms you have installed on  your site will show up at the bottom of the list.


This is where you administer forms.

The forms show up when you go to upload an item and add metadata, or when you go to edit metadata on an item on your site.

In order for a form to show up, you need to (1) have the form installed on your site, and (2) add a form association and "Associate" that form with the specific Content Model you will use it with.
