Form Builder

  • I am testing the free version of the simple membership and was wondering if I need to purchase the form builder add on to use a custom field ‘phone’ on user profile contact.

    I have event manager plugin and it already has a phone number added into the user contact in the standard user profile. That field ‘phone’ is used in the event manager for booking event contact.

    Will form builder allows you to pick any custom field and any contact field from the user profile? I notice most form builder lets you create new custom field but I only want to pick a field already created by event manager plugin.

    Thanks for assisting me.

    Hi mbrsolution,

    Thanks for your advice. I have indeed look at that page as well. Currently event manager plugin has a booking from that creates similar custom fields for user profile and update to the user profile. This is how it looks like in user profile under further information:

    Further Information

    Address
    Address Line 2
    City/Town
    State/County
    Zip/Post Code
    Country
    Phone

    The field ID has ‘dbem’ as prefix e.g phone number is dbem_phone.

    Hence I was wondering if the form builder can create registration form from these fields already created by event manager so I don’t have to duplicate. Will they appear for selection?

    Thank you so much.

    If the form builder does not display existing custom field to be used in the form. Is there a way to update the existing custom field with a membership field?

    The only field I need is the phone.

    E.g. Once the user profile updated by membership plugin at registration or update profile. Can I take the phone number and update to the custom field (dbem-phone)?

    Where can I do this ? Can I add it in the functions.php of the child theme?

    I am not coder, been finding strange that each plugin create own custom field or allow creation of new custom field, but not display existing custom fields from user profile. It has made it hard to integrate plugins.

    Hope someone can help.Thanks so much.

    I am having the same situation. Thank you for any advice/help!

    All of the fields I want are there when I click the link to create a new member, but it will not show for the members to fill in for themselves. It does not make sense that I have to fill everything in for them. Do I have to pay for that capability?

    @kumu Leilehua, the form builder add-on allows you to customize the user profile fields and also customize the forms.
