Solspace ExpressionEngine Add-ons

Freeform is a flexible form-building tool for ExpressionEngine that provides a drag-and-drop interface for creating simple or complex multi-column forms. Key capabilities include:

• Field Types: Support for Date & Time, Table, Phone, and Rating fields.
• Dynamic Data: Ability to populate select, checkbox, and radio fields with ExpressionEngine data (Entries, Members, Categories) or predefined lists (countries, months).
• Spam Protection: Built-in JavaScript Honeypot and Google reCAPTCHA v2.
• GDPR Compliance: Dedicated configuration options for GDPR requirements.
• Channel Integration: A Channel Fieldtype allows forms to be attached directly to Channel Entries for front-end display.

Freeform Payments (available in the Pro edition) allows the collection of single one-time payments and recurring subscriptions via Stripe. It utilizes the Stripe Payment Element, supporting 40+ payment methods including credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal (Europe), and bank payments.

Key behaviors include:

• AJAX Mode: Freeform automatically forces AJAX mode on forms using Stripe Payments to handle validation.
• Data Security: Freeform does not store sensitive credit card data, except for the last 4 digits of the card number.
• Management: Payment status and subscription plans are visible in the Freeform control panel. Admins can cancel subscriptions directly, and users can self-cancel via generated email notifications.

The Freeform Composer is an all-in-one interactive interface for building forms. It is organized into three primary columns:

1. Fields (Left Column): Contains all available fields that can be dragged and dropped into the form.
2. Layout (Center Column): Provides a live interactive preview of the form. It supports drag-and-drop reordering and automatically splits rows into columns (up to 4 columns) to fit fields side-by-side.
3. Property Editor (Right Column): Displays configuration options for the selected field, page tab, or form settings.

Changes in the Composer are applied instantly. Users can save progress using the Save ∗ button or the ⌘S shortcut.

The Solspace Calendar add-on provides a suite of template tags for displaying events and calendars. A key architectural detail is that the Calendar:Month, Calendar:Week, and Calendar:Day tags are all powered by the Calendar:Events tag; consequently, all variables, parameters, and conditionals available to Calendar:Events are also available within the month, week, and day views.

For performance optimization, always specify the channel parameter (e.g., channel="my_channel|my_other_channel") in Calendar template tags, similar to the usage in {exp:channel:entries}.
