Customers will get a zip folder and they have to extract the contents of this zip folder on their system. The extracted folder has an src folder, inside the src folder you have the app folder.

You need to transfer this app folder into the Magento2 root directory on the server as shown below.

After the successful installation, you have to run these commands in the Magento2 root directory:

# Run Commands

You need to run the following commands:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

php bin/magento cache:flush

 

For the multilingual support, the admin will navigate through Store->Configuration->General ->Locale Options and select the locale as German (the language into which admin wants to translate his store content).

If the user wants to translate their module from English to German then they need to follow the path

app/code/Webkul/FormBuilder/i18n in their unzipped FormBuilder folder and will get a CSV file with name “en_US.csv”.

Now they will rename that csv as “de_DE.csv” and translate all right side content after the comma in the German language. After editing the CSV, save it and then upload it to the

path app/code/Webkul/FormBuilder/i18n where they have installed Magento2 on their server. The module will get translated in the German Language. It supports both the LTR and RTL languages.

The user can edit the CSV like the image below:

After installing the module, you will be able to see the configuration panel under Stores-> Configuration-> Webkul-> Form Builder, and admin can configure General Setting and Email Template to get the update on the form submission part.

• Email From: Enter the admin email to be used in “From” for formbuilder email notification.

• Email To: Enter the admin email to be used in “To” for formbuilder email notification.

3. Enable Recaptcha

The admin can Enable the Recaptcha setting to be clicked while submitting to make the form more secure. The admin has to select “Yes” to enable Google Recaptcha else to select “No“

If select “Yes” then it will ask you Recaptcha site key and Recaptcha Secret Key as shown in the above image.

• Recaptcha Site Key: Admin needs to enter the Recaptcha Site Key to complete the Recaptcha configuration with the customs form.

• Recaptcha Secret Key: The admin needs to enter the Recaptcha Secret Key to complete the Recaptcha configuration with the customs form.
