Quick question on form submission

[sabres21]

Hi, I am very new and wanted to know if there is a tutorial that shows how we can setup a standard web form which submits to sugarCRM? So for example, if I have a contact form on my website with 10 fields, how to I submit all that data directly into sugar?

If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great!

Thanks

Go to the Campaigns tab and click "Create Lead Form" from the left menu. That will take you to a wizard that will build a lead capture form for you.

I see the create lead form, however, I would like to have custom entries. For example, aside from name, email, address, etc... I would like to list specific category check boxes in the form which the user can select a few categories they are interested in. I would then like to have those categories submitted through to sugar and show up under that contact.

can this be done?

Can someone point me in the right direction on custom form fields generated with the lead form?

You would simply add those fields to the HTML form. I am not sure what you are fishing for here. A tutorial to teach you basic HTML or something more specific to SugarCRM. I'm pretty sure the second one would be a pretty short document. If your custom field is called 'stuff_c' then you would add

<input type=input name=stuff_c>

or maybe

<select name=stuff_c>
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
<option value='3'>3</option>
</select>

and that would be about it.

The Lead form generator should produce the code for all of your custom fields if they are set up correctly. There Really should be no need to hand code fields as you cannot add fields that are not already set up in SugarCRM anyway.

sabers21:
There are two steps:
1. add the custom fields to the Leads module via Admin -> Studio
2. when you create the Campaign Lead form, you should see those custom fields available to you in the list

Only leads are associated with the Lead Form so you have to create custom fields for the Leads.

perfect, thanks all... I figured it out... this is pretty amazing!
