# Varbase Webform Base

The **Varbase Webform Base** recipe provides default webform modules, configurations, and permissions for building and managing forms on Varbase sites.

## Included Modules

| [**Webform Templates**](https://www.drupal.org/project/webform)               | Provides starter templates that can be used to create new webforms. |
| [**Webform UI**](https://www.drupal.org/project/webform)                      | Provides a user interface for building and maintaining webforms.    |
| [**Webform Views Integration**](https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_views) | Webform integration with views.                                     |
| [**ECA Webform**](https://www.drupal.org/project/eca_webform)                 | Integrate ECA with the Webform module and its plugins.              |

## Webforms It Ships

| Webform                                           | Notes                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Business Contact** (`business_contact`)         | The form on the **Contact Us** page. Its agreement checkbox links to `/terms-and-conditions` and `/privacy-policy`.                                                             |
| **Newsletter Subscribe** (`newsletter_subscribe`) | Ships with no handlers: sign-ups are stored, but nobody is notified and nothing reaches a mailing list. Add an email handler or a mailing list integration before it goes live. |

The recipe also sets `archive: true` on the Webform module's own **Contact** webform (`webform.webform.contact`). An archived webform is always closed, so `/form/contact` says it is closed to new submissions. See [Known Issues on a New Varbase 11 Site](/developers/known-issues-on-a-new-varbase-11-site.md).

## Installation
