Place this directory in your sites root directory. This is the one with sapphire and cms in it.
Run in your browser - /dev/build to rebuild the database.
You should see a new PageType in the CMS 'User Defined Form'. This has a new 'Form' tab which has your form builder.

Upgrading

0.1 to 0.2

We undertook some major API changes between 0.1 and 0.2. To help you migrate we have included a build task which you can run which will go through your installed forms and rebuild them with the new 0.2 data model.

To run this build task you visit the url /dev/tasks/UserFormsMigrationTask

Thanks

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the module, bugfixers, testers, clients who use the module and everyone that submits new features.

A big thanks goes out to Jan Düsedau for drawing the custom icon set for the form fields.
