Hi Guys,
I really like the simplicity of the built-in forms.
How would I apply these with actions? Looking for something simple like a mailto...
Thanks! - Last Edit: 10 years 4 months ago by Tim Miller.

If you want to use full bootstrap use one of these extensions. Personally though, I loathe it as it changes too many things for my liking and often causes issues.

Mark,
Thanks for the reference...I was really looking for a how-to.
I've never used any of the forms in the new templates and they look much cleaner than installing another component.
Have no idea what code to add...just looking for a simple mailto type of action. - ----

I'm just looking for a contact form that is simple. All the RT typography pages have a lot of info regarding forms. I'm looking for a replacement for another form component...don't want to install chrono, formmaker or anything else really.
Sorry mailto was the only thing I could think of- I am simply wanting to replicate the contact form- I didn't see any tutorials anywhere. I'm not a coder. - ----

Half-way down it starts with "Forms." Where would I use these styles, is there a simple way of having a form? Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way- - ----

I think you are actually referring to the "typography" menu item on that link?
That shows how to style a form that your have written in HTML markup and it gives examples too. To actually get a form to do anything you'll also need to write some php. For this reason most use elect to use a plugin that does the whole thing for them (e.g. a contact form module), or to use a forms component (e.g. rsforms, chronoforms). The contact form in myriad is just a standard joomla "single contact" menu item.
