Building a Form Online

Hi there,
Does anyone know of any open source platform that can be installed on our server to allow people to create their own forms online. I am looking into the possibility to integrate this with WWB.
In our environment we are using several forms and need to update/create new ones all the time. Users would create the form online, click on a button and we will receive the html code that we will later on integrate into our website using WWB. I have been doing the process manually so far and it starts to be too much. I need to automate the process.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Not quite what you are after, but do have a look at cognitoforms.com. You (or anyone else) can create or modify forms and then insert them into your document with an iFrame. And it's free for most things.

Here's an example https://www.penninescouts.org.uk/generalenquiry.html - I don't have to modify my web site if I want to update the form - just change it on the cognito site.

Isn't an iframe not-Apple friendly?

Well, I test my sites using an iPad and it has never thrown up any issues. You could try my link above using an Apple device and let me know.

Maybe you should ask somebody with an iPhone? Just to be sure? I, by religion, do not use Apple products.

Perhaps I did not formulate the question properly. I have found what I was looking for. We can build the form online then email the details. This will help us get the information and integrate with our website.
I am now testing this called "Formeo". It is open source and available on GitHub:

It's pretty cool !
