The main issue is how you are generating the form in the template with .form.as_p
.
You will need to generate the form with the .get_form function, but you are best to do it within your template as the current user and page needs to be past in as arguments like this.
form = feedback_form_page.get_form(
page=feedback_form_page, user=request.user)
You can see how the form is built for the AbstractForm model here:
https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/blob/master/wagtail/wagtailforms/models.py#L278
Full detailed example below, along with how you could work the form selection into the Site Settings module.
Link to a Form in Site Settings
Assuming you are referring to the Site Settings contrib module:
http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v1.13/reference/contrib/settings.html
The ‘Edit Handlers’ section of the documentation explains a great way to link to a page inside of your site settings.
http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v1.13/reference/contrib/settings.html?highlight=site%20settings#edit-handlers
Example (in models.py):
from wagtail.contrib.settings.models import BaseSetting, register_setting
# ...
@register_setting
class MyCustomSettings(BaseSetting):
feedback_form_page = models.ForeignKey(
'wagtailcore.Page', null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
panels = [
# note the page type declared within the pagechooserpanel
PageChooserPanel('feedback_form_page', ['base.FormPage']),
]
Once you set this model up, you will need to do makemigration
and migrate
for the changes to work in admin. You will then see inside the settings menu a sub-menu titled ‘My Custom Settings’
Adding linked Form to every page
Add a block (so it can be overridden in templates) that has an include in your base template (eg. myapp/templates/base.html).
<!-- Footer -->
<footer>
{% block feedback_form %}{% include "includes/feedback_form.html" %}{% endblock feedback_form %}
{% include "includes/footer.html" %}
</footer>
Create an include template (eg. myapp/templates/includes/feedback_form.html)
{% load feedback_form_tags wagtailcore_tags %}
{% get_feedback_form as feedback_form %}
<form action="{% pageurl feedback_form.page %}" method="POST" role="form">
<h3>{{ feedback_form.page.title}}</h3>
{% csrf_token %}
{{ feedback_form.form.as_p }}
<input type="submit">
</form>
Build a Template Tag to get the form and page
Your template tag needs to build the form with the page’s self.get_form() function. Eg. you your template tag (base/templatetags/feedback_form)
from django import template
from myapp.models import MyCustomSettings
register = template.Library()
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/custom-template-tags/
@register.assignment_tag(takes_context=True)
def get_feedback_form(context):
request = context['request']
my_custom_settings = MyCustomSettings.for_site(request.site)
feedback_form_page = my_custom_settings.feedback_form_page.specific
form = feedback_form_page.get_form(
page=feedback_form_page, user=request.user)
return {'page': feedback_form_page, 'form': form}

This still works in wagtail 2.3 just need to replace
@register.assignment_tag(takes_context=True)
with
@register.simple_tag(takes_context=True) to conform with django 2.2
Also {% load feedback_form_tags wagtailcore_tags %}
assumes your file inside of templates tags is named feedback_form_tags.py. I also added an __init__.py
in the template tags folder although I’m not sure that was actually necessary.
