# CMS elements

The Form Toolkit extends Shopping Experiences with one extra building block to embed any of your forms anywhere on your storefront.

## Block & element "Form"

| Element        | Purpose                                              |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Block "Form"   | Pre-arranged block with an element slot for the form |
| Element "Form" | Configurable element that picks a specific form      |

You'll find both in the CMS layout editor under the **Form** category.

## Element configuration

In the right element panel of the layout editor you pick the desired form from the list of your active forms. The selector supports search and multi-language — the label is shown in the active language.

## Available layouts

The plugin doesn't ship its own layouts — you keep using your usual Shopping Experience layouts. Typical placements:

* **Footer page** for contact and inquiry forms
* **Landing page** for consultation bookings or job applications
* **Category page** for industry-specific inquiries
* **Product detail page** for additional fields next to the Product Inquiry

## Layout steps

1. Open **Content → Shopping Experiences**
2. Duplicate an existing layout or create a new one
3. Pick a **section** (Standard, Sidebar, Full-width)
4. Drag the **Form** block in via drag-and-drop
5. Open the element settings on the right and pick a form
6. Save the layout and assign it via **Assign layout** to the target page
7. Clear the storefront cache

## Things to know

* **Inactive forms** render nothing — the block stays empty.
* **Premium features** in a form (e.g. a wizard step or conditional display) are silently skipped on the storefront in a non-Premium plan — no licence warning is shown to customers.
* Multiple Form elements per CMS layout are allowed — e.g. a contact and a newsletter form side by side.

## Theme extensions

All storefront templates are extendable through Twig blocks (e.g. `prems_form`, `prems_form_node_field`, `prems_form_response`). Themes can decorate the markup before or after each block without touching the plugin itself.
