{% form
output_to_template
 
If included the form will be output directly to the template.
var, set, or assign
 
Optional. Specify either "var", "set" or "assign" to change which scope this form is stored on. "var" is the default behavior.
variable_name
 
Specify a variable name in order to save this form to a variable. If not specified, it will be output to the template instead.
output_to_template
 
If included the form will be output directly to the template.
=
value
 
Should evaluate to a form object, or the name or guid of a form May use liquid filters.
%}
Fetches a single form.

arguments

prepend
 
May be a single form, a list of forms, or the name or guid of a form to be be included at the beginning of the forms.
append
 
May be a single form, a list of forms, or the name or guid of a form to be be included at the end of the forms.
exclude
 
May be a single form, a list of forms, or the name or guid of a form that should NOT be included in the fetched results. Has no affect on prepended or appended forms.
exclude_prepended
 
True to specifically exclude all prepended forms from the fetched results. If "unique:true" is specified this is the default behavior, although you may also specify "exclude_prepended:false" to allow any prepended items to be fetched along with other results anyway.
exclude_appended
 
True to specifically exclude all appended forms from the fetched results. This is false by default - even if "unique:true" is specified - so that results are returned in the proper order.
unique
 
True to remove duplicates from each of the resulting lists (prepended, fetched, appended, and items), although there may be duplicates between the prepended, fetched, and appended lists. The "items" list will include objects in the order in which they appear - with prepended items first, then fetched items, then appended items.
max_size
 
The maximum number of items to be included in the "items" list. If there are any prepended or appended items, this will automatically lower the "limit" to only fetch as many forms as needed. Note that this may also impact both the "page" and "total_pages" values in the resulting forms. In order to use pagination with a list loaded using "max_size" use "start" instead of "page" and "limit".
filter
 
Only include forms that match the given string filter
folder
 
May include multiple folders. Only include forms with one of the given folders
date_created_start
 
Only include forms with date_created greater than or equal to date_created_start. Remember that date_created will typically be the date that the form was first published.
date_created_end
 
Only include forms with date_created less than or equal to date_created_end. Remember that date_created will typically be the date that the form was first published.
start
 
Set the 1-based index of the first form to fetch.
page
 
Used to automatically calculate the first form to fetch based on both the "limit" and the 1-based "page" value. Defaults to 1, but is ignored if "start" is set.
limit
 
The maximum number of forms to fetch. Defaults to 10. Note that if "max_size" is defined, then "limit" may be automatically lowered even if specified separately.
sort_by
 
Specify which property to sort the results by. Has no affect on prepended or appended forms. By default, results will be sorted by relevance if there is a filter string and date_created desc (newest first) if not. Options include:
  • relevance: only applies when there is a filter string. When sorting by relevance sort_direction is ignored.
  • date_created: the date each forms was first published. Unpublishing and republishing a forms resets date_created to the current date.
  • random: results will be returned in a random order, which prevents the page from being fast-cached. Setting cache_random:true overrides this behavior and allows the page to be fast-cached anyway.
  • name
  • title
  • url
  • browser_title
sort_direction
 
asc or desc.
cache_random
 
True to allow the results to be cached when sort_by is "random".
Fetches a list of forms.
