Automatic data from URL

Hi @chelminski

I hope you are doing well today.

If I understand your scenario correctly you have a form that users fill in the first place and then use the pre-populate feature: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#pre-populate-form-field-values and later on, in 2nd form you auto-fill those data and those should be not editable? Let me know if we are on the same page so we can suggest some solution in that matter.

Kind Regards,
Kris

Hi
Not completely. I’m creating a customer service panel. Depending on the displayed context (account view, user list view, etc.), various options (forms – data flow) are available. I would like to use your plugin for this, because I think it is the best ;). Information about the context is contained in the url.

E.g. When displaying a given user’s account page, you see a link:

https://example.com/user-details?user=chelminski&order_no=2137

When you display a given group, action, etc. you also have context.

And I would like it to be possible to include this information in the form, but in such a way that it could not be edited by the operator filling in the data. It would be best if the information was not visible in the form, but only on the confirmation.

It would also be convenient because I could use such a solution for basic users and there would be no mess. I really want this feature :D, there are many application options.

Hi again @chelminski

I pinged our SLS Team in that matter to see can help in that matter and will that be within the support scope. We will post an update here as soon as more information is available.

Kind Regards,

Hi @chelminski

Our SLS Team asked for more details in that matter as some of those are not fully clear.

If we read this correctly: You have a register form and that form has custom fields, which you pass to the user profile by mapping those fields.

Later on, on your custom page, you display those values and you have an additional form, which should automatically read those values to some hidden fields, and as soon as the form is submitted you will see those in your email notification.

Please share more light on the full process so we can be on the same page.

Kind Regards,
Kris

Hi ??
NO. There is no need to fill out the form to view the link with your data. I will present the whole process:

1. I am searching for a user using email address or ID or name and surname
2. I click on his profile. (We’re not talking about a WordPress profile here. Just a customized page)
3. His profile is displayed at the link

https://exapmle.com/user_details/?user={username}&id={ID}

Not every operator has access to the same customer groups. So, for example, Operator 1 will see the data of an individual customer, but will not have access to a customer of another category (e.g. VIP customer, business customer, customer from another country).

4. In order to change data/perform an action, a webhook is made to an external server using the “Forminator” form. Some data is completed automatically. They are loaded from link.

Each view has its own link and its own data defined.

Second example

1. I am searching for a user using email address or ID or name and surname
2. I click on his profile. (We’re not talking about a WordPress profile here. Just a customized page)
3. I enter the customer’s order because, for example, I would like to change something. And I see the link:

https://exapmle.com/order_details/?user={username}&id={ID}&order-id={order-id}  //e.t.c....

4. In order to change data/perform an action, a webhook is made to an external server using the “Forminator” form. Some data is completed automatically. They are loaded from link.

I keep talking about this function (I don’t know what it’s called in English). The function allows you to automatically fill out form fields based on data from the link.

So my request is that the data that goes automatically to Forminator should not be visible to the operator. Or so that the operator cannot edit the selected field.

I hope it’s all more clear now ??

Hi again

Thank you for additional data.

Please us this snippet as a mu-plugin:

add_action( 'forminator_before_form_render', 'wpmudev_prefill_field_form_check', 10, 5 );
function wpmudev_prefill_field_form_check( $id, $form_type, $post_id, $form_fields, $form_settings ) {
    $form_ids = array( 1609 ); // Please add your form IDs.
	if ( ! in_array( $id, $form_ids ) ) {
        return;
	}

    add_filter( 'forminator_field_markup', 'wpmudev_readonly_prefilled_value', 10, 3 );
}

function wpmudev_readonly_prefilled_value( $html, $field, $cls ) {
    $prefilled_val = empty( $field['prefill'] ) ? '' : ( ! empty( $_REQUEST[ $field['prefill'] ] ) ? $_REQUEST[ $field['prefill'] ] : '' );
    if ( ! empty( $prefilled_val ) ) {
        $html = str_replace( 'value="'.$prefilled_val.'"', 'value="'.$prefilled_val.'" readonly', $html );
    }
    return $html;
}

Form ID should be managed $form_ids = array( 1609 ); // Please add your form IDs.

Thank you very much! It works! ????

Is it possible to completely hide a given field with a snippet? (So that it works for my case, so that it doesn’t return an empty value).

Hi

I just noticed that this function already exists.

It’s called a hidden field and it does what I wrote above. You can use variables from the RUL address there, it is not displayed in the form. My bad.
