How do I get started?

• Read the Getting Started Guide — it has lots of info about creating forms, setting up access to the forms, and troubleshooting tips.
• Download the Formulize Hands-on Workshop files and do it on your own PC
• Join the Formulize IRC chatroom where you can get real-time answers to questions. You will need to install an IRC program to access the chatroom, if you don't have one installed already.
• There's a lot of documentation including tips on how to design a Formulize application and developer documentation that takes you Inside Formulize.
• If you haven't already, you will need to download and install either:
  • ImpressCMS, or
  • XOOPS

  Right now, Formulize gets installed as a module in either of those platforms. In the future, we will be providing a complete package which you can download to install a working Formulize system in one shot.

Sourceforge Subversion (SVN)

• Browse the SVN repository
• Read the latest change logs for Formulize
• Subscribe to the 'formulize-commits' mailing list for up to the minute notification of changes
• Repository address for checking out with an SVN client: https://formulize.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/formulize/
  
  

  To install the SVN version of Formulize (the development trunk), follow the steps in the 3.1 readme, but instead of a "patch31" database step, do the same thing but type "patch40" instead. If you are upgrading a 3.0 or earlier site to the SVN trunk, then you will need to apply both patch31 and then patch40.
