A basic MailForm file begins with a class definition, which looks like the following:

<?php

class WebappContactForm extends MailForm {
    function WebappContactForm () {
        parent::MailForm ();

        // create form widgets here
    }

    function onSubmit ($vals) {
        // handle form action here
    }
}

?>

This file would be saved as inc/app/webapp/forms/contact/index.php.  If we add an access.php file to the same folder with the following contents, we will then be able to refer to our form straight from the URL:

; <?php /*

sitellite_status = approved
sitellite_access = public
sitellite_action = on

; */ ?>

A hint for next time: If you are creating multiple forms or boxes with the same access settings, you can use one access.php file the parent folder instead of duplicating the same access.php settings many times over.

Now we can refer to our form in the following URL:

http://www.yourWebSite.com/index/contact-form

Please note that because "webapp" is the default app, its name can be omitted from the URL.  Otherwise, the URL would be:

http://www.yourWebSite.com/index/webapp-contact-form
