Widgets NDT Forms
Form presentation widgets for ND Theme CMS v4. Index: Widgets.
Warning — presentation only: The Form and Form field widgets render Notre Dame Web Theme markup for design and content layout. They do not provide a submission backend, email delivery, spam protection, or data storage. Do not use them as a live application or contact form unless your team has separately wired a real form service or custom backend.
For site search UI, use #Search form.
Styled form shell with optional title and submit label.
When to use: Mockups, style demos, or pages where a real form endpoint will be connected by developers. Not for collecting data by itself.
| Field | Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Text | Optional heading above the form. |
| Submit label | Text (default “Submit”) | Submit button text. |
Children: Form field only.
Tips: If you need a working contact or application form, ask your technical team for an approved form tool — then style around it, or replace this widget once a backend exists.
