FormBuilder 0.58


This version of FormBuilder fixes a couple bugs in the way FormBuilder functions, which may have been affecting some users. The fixed bugs are as follows:

  • Added “action” field to form HTML to comply more fully with HTML spec. Details of the spec requirements can be found here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt
  • Renamed the “additional_styles.css” file to be “additional_styles.sample.css” in order that customized styles in the file are not overwritten when upgrading to new versions of FormBuilder.

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

    Great work! I’d love to see a default form or two already provided. mostly I use a contact me form with name, email, and message as a default. I don’t enjoy recreating it for each blog I create. Would be nice to have at least that as a pre-made form.

    Hey Rob, good idea.

    I’ll see if James can get this type of thing out in the next release.

    Hello,

    I’m having a few problems with your plugin. I’m using v.0.58 with Wordpress 2.5.1. I downloaded / activated the plugin; but on the ‘form management’ page I don’t see anything. I also have the following plugins:
    *Admin Drop Down Menu 2.5
    (http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-admin-menu-drop-down-css/)

    *Dean’s FCK Editor 2.4.1
    (http://www.deanlee.cn/wordpress/fckeditor-for-wordpress-plugin/)

    *Events Calendar 6.0.1.2
    (http://www.lukehowell.com/events-calendar/)

    *Role Manager 2.2.2
    (http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/)

    *WP-Polls / WP-Polls Widget 2.30
    (http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php)

    I hope this info can be helpful.

    Ohh I forgot to say. I tried disabling the other plugins with no luck (getting the same result on the Form Management page) Thanks!

    Sorry for multiple posting, but checking on Apache’s log, I get the following:

    Thanks

    Love this plug-in and I’ve used it several times on this church site with good results.

    Question: how does one delete the backup copies of received messages after reading them? I can’t find anything on this.

    Suggestions for future release:
    - Color-coding of required fields (I’ve seen yellow used)
    - Tooltip for THANKYOUTEXT: “This text will replace the form on the same page after submission”

    Thanks for all the effort you’re obviously putting into this plug-in!

    Hi Bob,

    Deletion of backup copies has not been built yet. We’re still working on the nuts and bolts of the XML backup system.

    As for the color coding suggestions, we originally had released it with this sort of feature, but it is complicated to make it a color that works on everyone’s sites. Instead, we made the field labels bold for required field, and put CSS tags in place so that people could fairly easily add to the CSS on their sites to make this work for them.

    The tooltip is an excellent idea. I’ll have to incorporate that in future releases.

    Thanks a bunch,
    James.
