  How do I design a new form in Formicula? I have the module, but there is no way to add a new form, only to add a new contact to a form. I need to develop a new form for specific product requests. Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. jean@jeanholland.com

  You have to create a new set of templates.
  
  By default there are 2 sets (0 and 1 I believe) in the pntemplates folder of Formicula.
  
  To create a new one just add a 2_userform.html and edit it to fit your needs (and you need the other templates as well (e.g. 2_userconfirm.html, 2_usererror.html, etc.)
  
  Hope that helps.

  You can make whatever you like indeed, but you need to code the templates yourself. If you can read german, there is major documentation here: http://code.zikula.org/community-german/wiki/Formicula
  
  I've sent you an email with an online example, I'd rather not post that here to avoid potential spammers etc. I can send you some examples of templates to get started if you like.

  This tutorial is from a previous version but still provides some useful information.

  Maybe you should bundle them up and put them available somewhere Erik

  Maybe, but they are rather specific for my site. On the other hand Formicula templates as examples are very helpful. It was pretty hard to get it all right.
  Any bright ideas on where to put them (like for Pagesetter there is pagesetter.net with examples, pubtypes etc). Is it an idea to put examples on the cozi/formicula page in Wiki pages?

  I'd do it much like you did the extra menutree templates personally :) I'm about to need to do some stuff with Formicula myself :) Unless there's been movement on a Zikula version of FOrmExpress yet that is, I prefer it's interface/methods to Formicula personally.

  Ok, I will make them a little more general in text (and remove the dutch parts ) and upload a set of example templates.

  Thank you so much for the templates! Very helpful. I'm an application programmer and the web stuff is not my core expertise.
