Page Content Sections - Form Section

Use the Form Section when you want to place one of your existing Clubistry forms directly onto a page.

What this section is for

This section is mainly a placement tool.

It does not build the form for you. Instead, it lets you choose an existing form and display it on the page.

Common uses include:

  • contact forms
  • volunteer sign-up forms
  • event interest or registration forms
  • surveys or feedback forms
  • payment-enabled forms when your form is set up for payments

Helpful detail:

  • This section does not have its own separate website access settings. Anyone who can view the page can view the form section.

Fields in the Form Section

Section Title

Use Section Title to help your team identify the section while editing the page.

Helpful detail:

  • This title is internal only. It is not shown on the website.

Form

Use Form to choose which existing form should appear in this section.

Helpful details:

  • Only active forms appear in this dropdown.
  • If the form you want is missing, check the form's own Active setting first.
  • The form's fields, headline, additional instructions, notifications, redirects, and payment settings are controlled in the form itself, not in the page section.

Active

Use Active to control whether this section is included when the page is rendered.

Helpful detail:

  • If Active is turned off, the section stays in the page editor but does not appear on the website.

What visitors see on the website

When this section appears on the website:

  • the form is shown inside a white form section
  • on landing-style pages, the form sits inside a centered content container
  • on standard interior pages, it uses the normal page-content area
  • if the selected form has its own headline or extra instructions, those appear above the fields
  • visitors may see success or error messages above the form after submission attempts

Helpful details:

  • Required-field validation is handled by the form fields themselves.
  • Form spam protection is built into the form rendering.
  • If the form is set up to take payments and payments are active, the page can show extra payment steps before final submission.

Important behavior to know

  • The section only lets you place a form on the page.
  • Most of the visible content comes from the selected form's own setup.
  • If a form is later made inactive, website visitors will no longer be able to use it from this section.
  • If an inactive form is still referenced by a section, signed-in users may see an internal warning that the form is not active.

How to add a Form Section to a page

  1. Create and configure the form you want to use in Forms.
  2. Open the page you want to edit.
  3. Go to the Page Content area.
  4. Click Add new section.
  5. Choose Form Section.
  6. Enter a Section Title for internal reference.
  7. Select the form from the Form dropdown.
  8. Make sure Active is turned on.
  9. Save the page.

Practical planning ideas

  • Give forms clear names in the Forms area so they are easier to find in the dropdown.
  • Add a Simple Text Section above the form when visitors need context, instructions, or reassurance before filling it out.
  • Test the form itself before linking it to an important public page.
  • If the form collects payments, test both the form experience and the payment experience.
  • Review the form's confirmation message, redirect, and notification settings so the full workflow feels complete.

If the form section is not behaving as expected

Check these items first:

  • the page was saved after your edits
  • the section's Active toggle is turned on
  • the correct form is selected
  • the form is still active in Forms
  • the issue is not coming from the form's own settings, fields, notifications, or payment setup
