Make Reset Form Options, Confirm Email Field Quirk

  • I have, I think, a bug report and a request.

    First, the bug report: right now I have to place text in both the Confirm Email Label and Confirm Email Placeholder fields to get that option to show up on the form. Since I don’t use a placeholder for the first email field, it looks funny to have a placeholder for the Confirm Email field. So I’d just like the Confirm Email field to show up without placeholder text required.

    Second, the request: can we please have an option to NOT show the “Click here to reset the form” message after a successful submission? It’s an unusual feature compared to other contact forms, and it really seems like a feature that’s begging to be exploited by spammers. Eek!

    In fact, I’d prefer the Success message to appear on the contact form page, without loading an additional URL. Right now the success URL reveals what plugin we’re using.

    Anyways, quirks aside, I love what I’m seeing so far. Thank you for keeping this super fast and lightweight!

    Hi @sunstunned

    Try adding a blank space in the “Confirm Email Placeholder” option.

    As for removing the “click here to reset”, added it to the to do list.

    As for success message on the same page, we’ll need to switch it to be AJAX powered instead of a regular form submission that reloads a page. Added to the to do list but that one is a bit more complicated so will take a bit longer than the “click here to reset” change.

    Anyways, quirks aside, I love what I’m seeing so far. Thank you for keeping this super fast and lightweight!

    You’re welcome and thank you.

    Thank you for the response!

    The Confirm Email Placeholder workaround works fine, so no change needed there. Maybe in case anyone else wants that, a tiny description telling them they can put a space in there could be helpful.

    I look forward to not having the “click here to reset” on there. ??

    As for the success message page, I didn’t think about how that would require more javascript, so never mind that request. I’d much prefer to keep it lightweight. ?? I think that’s one of the main appeals of this plugin; I wouldn’t want to compromise that.

    So maybe you could somehow just change the URL after the form submission? Right now it reads “domain.com/#simple-contact-form-wrap”. I know that’s being really picky, so it’s not an urgent request.

    Another non-urgent suggestion, to flagrantly borrow from Contact Form 7: CF7 features the ability to set minimum and maximum characters for the message field of the contact form.

    I’ve found this remarkably effective. Even when bots get past CloudFlare, a honeypot and recaptcha, setting the right min/max characters for the message field manages to block a surprisingly large percentage of them. If it’s possible to do this without it being too script-heavy, I think it’d be a great feature to provide.

    I feel kind of obnoxious suggesting so much to you. Sorry, just think aloud. The whole thing is already great as is.

    Hi @sunstunned

    Max characters option will be added, it’s a good idea, thanks.

    No worries, thanks for the suggestions ??
