Fieldset, legend, and list items are the foundation for all CF7 Skins Templates. They are a key part to the structure and style of your form.

• The FIELDSET item groups together related form fields.
• The LEGEND item helps provide context to each fieldset by adding a title.
• LIST-OL items act like a group of related LIST-LI items.
•  LIST-LI items act like containers for a form’s field tags (Contact Form 7 Tags), such as Checkbox, Text, Date, etc.

The fieldset at the top provides a title (legend) for the entire form. The list-ol groups together list-li items that are related.

Tip: If you duplicate a LIST-OL, it will duplicate all of the LIST-LI and tags inside. This can save a huge amount of time if you have similar sections on your form.

The main advantages behind using this syntax are:

• Customization and options for the form layout is both easier and more versatile.
• Contact Form 7 form tags are visually less cluttered and easier to tweak.
• Advanced and detailed CSS styling is much easier.
• W3C compliant.
• Accessibility such as tabbing navigation for visual user agents and speech navigation for speech-oriented user agents.

Tip: You don’t need to fully understand these items in order to use CF7 Skins. We recommend selecting a Template and following it as a guide.

The CF7 Skins Form Section

CF7 Skins adds a drag-and-drop visual form editor to the Contact Form 7 plugin interface.

Also known as the Visual Editor, Visual Form Editor, or Form tab, this is where you can edit your form’s content and layout.

The tree diagram is an interactive, visual representation of your form’s structure. When you select a Template, the form section is populated for you. Each template acts as an easy to follow guide, which you can then customize in this section.

The Fields section has all of the Contact Form 7 tags needed to create your form plus the CF7 Skins items needed for our templates and styles.

Drag and drop fields up and down the tree to re-arrange the order, minimize sections that you are not focusing on, and click or drag and drop new fields onto your form. You can choose to edit, duplicate, or delete any of the fields.

CF7 Skins retains the original HTML based form editor of the Contact Form 7 plugin interface.

Contact Form 7 Form Section

The Contact Form 7 plugin interface is also known as the Tag editor or Form Tag Editor.

You can edit your form’s content and layout using the Contact Form 7 Admin Screen. Also, here is where you can use HTML tags and create Contact Form 7 form-tags using the tag generator.

You may find this useful for making text based tweaks to forms created using the CF7 Skins drag-and-drop visual form editor.

Important: Changes made exclusively in the Contact Form 7 tag editor are not reflected on the CF7 Skins Form tab in the visual editor.
