FormBuilder 0.63


Here is the official release of FormBuilder 0.63.  The goal of this version is primarily to provide compatibility with the upcoming release of WordPress 2.7.  We have revamped the administrative interface to function a bit better with the WordPress CSS styles, as well as fixing a number of bugs which showed up when testing against WordPress 2.7 beta 2.  Additionally, we have restored functionality to allow FormBuilder to work properly when used in a PHP 4.x environment.

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

    We are in the process of setting up our blog at leftos.com/blog. We are using formbuilder to collect email addresses for our alpha version of our web app. We have installed it on our blog and have successfully created a form and added it to our “About” page. Our problem is that we do not recieve an email at the specified address after someone submits to the field.

    How can we fix this problem
    Thanks,

    Zach

    Hi Zach,

    I’m glad you’re finding our plugin useful! With regard to your problem, are there any FormBuilder related PHP errors that you are seeing on the site or in your PHP logs?

    It is also possible that PHP on your server has not been configured to send mail. Are you able to verify that? If you’re on shared hosting, you may need to ask your hosting provider… otherwise your server sysadmin should be able to give you the answer to that.

    Can you post the URL where you are currently using FormBuilder?

    Hello,

    We are having the same problem. Well two issues.

    1) No error messages appear for required fields with no value.

    2) No mail is sent. I have tested Wordpress by using the remind password function and get mail within seconds but nothing for FormBuilder.

    Wordpress: 2.6.3
    FormBuilder: 0.63
    PHP: 5.2.6
    Theme: Custom

    Any thoughts?

    Respectfully,

    Jeremy

    Hi Jeremy,

    Can you post a URL where you are experiencing this problem? I’d like to come take a look and see if I can diagnose anything.

    James.

    Thanks for the offer of assistance but I ended up just writing my own script and discontinued the use of this plugin since I couldn’t make FormBuilder work.

    Thanks.

    Can I make a feature request? I’d like to be able to have multiple checkboxes as a response for a question.

    I have a question on a form I’m developing that would ideally look like this, except I don’t think I can ask it in this way with FormBuilder. Please let me know if I’m mistaken.

    Hi,
    I installed FormBuilder and I have one question:
    Why do you use the name of the fields for the email and not the labels?
    The Name of the fields are in CAPITALS and without Umlauts (ä,ü…) so it means I have to copy and paste each field for it self.
    If you could make an option to use the labels (or tell me how to tweak the php), it would be great.
    Thank you and regards
    C.

    but I would love to have an option to integrate file upload (and e-mail attachment) and maybe support for recaptcha (http://recaptcha.net/)
    This would be really nice.

    I received this warning when I went to upgrade:

    Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /home/content/j/o/e/joeladamski/html/joeladamski/wp-content/plugins/formbuilder/formbuilder.php on line 384

    Any suggestions?

    I have created a form with formbuilder, and have 3 check box fields. How can I get these forms to default to a check? Right now they are blank when the form comes up, and I want them to be checked….

    Thanks,
    Sherry

    I’m experiencing the same problems as Joel Adamski, same exact error and line number referenced (384). I recently upgraded Wordpress to 2.7, then today went back and upgraded FormBuilder, and that’s when the error showed up.

    I would love some help on this.

    Thank you.

    Hi Joel and Sharon,

    I’m working to fix this bug in the next release (0.72) which should be out shortly.

    Thanks for letting me know about the problem,

    James.

    Hi Sherry,

    Unfortunately, FormBuilder doesn’t currently support checkboxes to be checked off by default. Sorry.

    James.
