About cmsplugin_contact_plus

cmsplugin_contact_plus lets your build forms for your django CMS project with exactly the fields you want in the order you want with a minimal effort.

Beside the regular input fields, there are "auto" fields, for example to submit the referral page or additional, hidden values. The form will be submitted to a per form defined email address. This allows to cover a lot of use cases with a single and simple cmsplugin.
