Hi,

Do you mean create a new form within the web application similar to the "contact" form, or do you mean create a new form within Share for content editorial use?

Hi,

The form itself is just HTML and Freemarker (see the contact form - wcmqs\WEB-INF\webscripts\contact\form.get.html.ftl), however the more important part is how to process the User Generated Content within Alfresco. You can add your own type of visitor feedback and configure a handler that defines what is done when the content is submitted. This is documented within the QS Developer Guide here - http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Quick_Start_Developer_Guide#Processing_Visitor_Feedback

Hi,
The contact link is effectivley a static, hard coded anchor pointing to a content item. If you would like to simply replicate the contact form, you could just copy and paste the contact.html content item located under /root/contact, and rename it e.g. /root/contact/test.html. Then setup the new URL in page.ftl e.g.

 <li><a href="${url.context}/contact/test.html">${msg('links.test')}</a></li>‍

Note you will also need the appropriate message bundle value for "links.test", or for testing purposes, just render the anchor without the bundle value e.g.

 <li><a href="${url.context}/contact/test.html">Test</a></li>‍

Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
