FormBuilder 0.57


FormBuilder version 0.57 is released to repair bugs introduced by WordPress v. 2.5.  We HIGHLY recommend you upgrade to this version before upgrading to WordPress 2.5.

We have also included a number of other cool features including the following:

  • The ability to uninstall the plugin if necessary.
  • Changed required fields to be bold instead of red by default.
  • Linked checkboxes and radio buttons to their labels, making them clickable.
  • Added ability to create customized submit buttons and submit button images anywhere in the form.
  • And last but not least, we are now hosting the FormBuilder code on the WordPress Plugin Database.

We hope you like the improvements and we would love to hear any feedback you might have.

    This is a great idea, but the plugin automatically places the form at the bottom of the page, and doesn’t link the comment-sized box to the page.

    I’ve left the details up here: http://plutonica.net/contact/ for reference.

    Thanks!

    Hi Nico, I think you may be dealing with a theme specific issue. James will help diagnose this for you.

    Update: It seems to appear at the top in IE, but not in Firefox. The comment box does not appear in either version.

    Thanks!

    Hi Nico,

    I’ve been looking through the code on your site, and it does seem to be a theme/CSS problem rather than a FormBuilder problem. Unfortunately I was unable to determine what was causing it. I suspect that it has to do with how you are displaying both sidebars first in the code, and then displaying the center content.

    As you said, it works fine in IE, but not FireFox, which is another indication to me that it is probably CSS related.

    Have you tried it on another theme?

    Hello,

    Thanks for building this plugin. It’s coming in handy. So I’m getting my responses via email but they are not being stored in the formbuilder_responses table. Is that something that’s not enabled in this version or is there something I missed as far as setup goes. I’d really like to have my responses stored in the database even if there’s not an interface built into the plugin to look at them as I am comfortable looking at the data using phpMyAdmin.

    Thanks,
    Carson

    OK, just poking around it looks like there are functions in the dbaccess class that are headed toward saving the responses but they aren’t quite ready yet?
    AND that the responses table is for autoresponses, not form responses.

    You would have to create a new table for each form you had because all of the fields are different per form. And then update the form’s table structure every time a change to the form was made. That opens a whole can of worms, doesn’t it?

    Yup. James, can you add some more info on this?

    Another few “cool features” to consider:
    - conditional includes: it’s just a waste of resource to require all the *inc.php no matter where or what
    - use wpdb database object instead of a 3rd party class
    - use wp_enqueue_script() to make sure prototype is added only once, if already added by another plugin before yours
    - in general use WP’s internal functions everywhere possible (get relative path of something, get plugin path, etc)

    Thanks Ozh, we’ll work on that. Feel free to send us any code changes if you have time.

    Very nice and useful plugin.

    Maybe at future release it could be nice to have support for content tzpe UTF-8 to correct view special international characters like ľščťžýáíé…

    Hi Dusan,

    Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, we’re hoping to incorporate international support into a future release.

    Have a great day,
    James

    Hi,

    today I am using Your plugin for creating quite long questionnaire. My idea: use AJAX for adding new fields. I have more then 100 fields and it is time consuming to wait each time, when I’m adding new field, for page reloading.

    All the best,
    Mati
