CIForms sandbox

This is a sandbox for https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CIForms !

Basic, one column

This is the simplest form (type "inputs" by default, one column)

The square brackets represent an input, the square brackets contain the input type, the asterisk indicates a mandatory field

{{#CI form: title = Contact form
| type = inputs
| first and last name [] *
| email [email] *
| your message [textarea]  *
}}

which produces the following

{{#CI form: title = Contact form | type = inputs | submission groups = sysop | first and last name [] * | email [email] * | your message [textarea] * }}

Placeholders

Form with placeholders. The square brackets contain the placeholder and optionally the input type after the equal symbol:

{{#CI form: title = Contact form
| [first and last name] *
| [email=email] *
| [phone=tel]
| [your message=textarea]  *
}}

which produces the following:

{{#CI form: title = Contact form | [first and last name] * | [email=email] * | [phone=tel] | [your message=textarea] * }}

Two columns

Inputs responsive (two columns), the square brackets contain the input type, the form rows can contain html (the label of the email input is bold)

{{#CI form: title = Contact form
| type = inputs responsive
| submit = abc@test.com
| first name [] *
| last name [] *
| <b>email</b> [email] *
| phone [tel]
| your message [textarea]  *
}}

{{#CI form: title = Contact form | type = inputs responsive | first name [] * | last name [] * | email [email] * | phone [tel] | your message [textarea] * }}

Cloze test

Cloze tests are mainly used to administer quizzes and tests.

Square brackets represent an input, a square bracket with text inside represents a suggestion. The asterisk represents an example sentence. Each row can contain an arbitrary number of inputs.

{{#CI form: type = cloze test 
| title = Chose the right verbs for each sentence and put them in the proper tense
| * I (to be) [have been] proud to win the match
| I (to do) [] a wonderful work
| I (to drink) [] too much at the last party
| I (to eat) [] 3 pizzas and 4 portions of french fries, and now I don't perform really well in intimate situations
| (to make) We are such stuff as dreams are [] on; and our little life ...
}}

{{#CI form: type = cloze test | title = Chose the right verbs for each sentence and put them in the proper tense | * I (to be) [have been] proud to win the match | I (to do) [] a wonderful work | I (to drink) [] too much at the last party | I (to eat) [] 3 pizzas and 4 portions of french fries, and now I don't perform really well in intimate situations | (to make) We are such stuff as dreams are [] on; and our little life ... }}

Cloze test with suggestions

The list of suggestions is automatically shuffled and the suggestion is automatically canceled from the list. (line-through)

{{#CI form: type = cloze test 
| title = Put the right word in each sentence
| suggestions = pencils, cats, dogs, car, house, pizzas
| * There are three [pencils] on my table
| My [] is pretty fast
| My [] barks a lot but welcomes thieves equipped with sausages
| I love [] because they say "meeeooow"
| I'm able to eat 4 [] at any time
| My [] has 3 swimming pools and a bowling lane, are you envious ?
}}

Cloze test with transformed suggestions

In some cases the answer has to be "transformed" with regard of the list of suggestions. In this case the relationship is expressed with the equal symbol within square brackets.

{{#CI form: type = cloze test 
| title = Chose the right verbs for each sentence and put them in the proper tense
| suggestions = to be, to win, to do, to drink, to make
| * I [to be=have been] proud to win the match
| I [] a wonderful work
| I [] too much at the last party
| I [] 3 pizzas and 4 portions of french fries, and now I don't perform really well in intimate situations
| We are such stuff as dreams are [] on; and our little life ...
}}
