4. Place this directory in your sites root directory. This is the one with sapphire and cms in it.

Upgrading

0.1 to 0.2

We undertook some major API changes. To help you migrate from 0.1 to 0.2 we have included a build task which you can run which will go through your installed forms and rebuilt them with the new 0.2 datamodel.

To run this build task you visit the url /dev/tasks/UserFormsMigrationTask

Thanks

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the module, bug fixers, testers and everyone that submits new features.

A big thanks goes out to Jan Düsedau for drawing the custom icon set for the form fields.
