[Plugin: WP User Frontend] Multiple Forms

All the options are for a single form for now. There isn’t any easy to make it happen. Needs a fair amount of code re-write.

anyone might get interested with this…

Thats very nice, I was thinking to build a dynamic form builder for many days, but time is the problem. Although I would build the form differently. Nice work ??

This would be a really useful feature. @Reigel, could you share how you did this or at least which files you modified? I’m interested in handling this outside of the plugin core as much as possible so that it doesn’t prevent use of custom fields and won’t be affected by updates. Of course, from what Tareq mentioned, it may be built in soon.

@ Tareq, looking forward to the next update, This is a really great plugin and I’ve seen a bunch of good suggestions and requests for features in the support forums. Keep up the good work!
P.S. I’m working on multiple form functionality, hopefully with some inspiration from Reigel, so if you have any suggestions that would be cool. Thanks.

If you want to build the multiform functionality, here’s the suggestion:

0. Fork the plugin from github, create a branch and start working.
1. Register a new sub-menu Forms in WP User Frontend plugin setting.
2. Register a custom post type wpuf_forms for saving forms and data.
3. Take a look at Advanced Custom Field plugin and see how it creates dynamic form. Give options for adding custom field, custom taxonomies.
4. Custom fields can be in various types. e.g: datepicker, maps, number, phone, url, email etc.

Hope you get the idea ??

Thanks, I’ll see what I can do.

I’m going to try to avoid hardcoding the custom post type as I will probably want to specify the post type for each form.

You didn’t understand me. If you want to create the form, you need to save them somewhere. I said to create the post type because you can save the form to the custom post type or you can create a custom table in database. If you choose to save them with custom field, you don’t need to create an additional table and you get the WordPress export/import functionality.

Got it. I would want to save them all to a custom post type but I’d like to specify what the post type will be when I create the form in the dashboard.

@Reigel

I’ve tried it but i have one error message:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘wpuf_forms’ doesn’t exist]

Hmm, sounds like it’s not finding the wpuf_forms table in your database which should be created when you activate Reigels plugin.

Try installing portable phpmyadmin plugin which lets you see your database from inside wordpress and see if you have that table in there. You may need to create it manually.

Solved, thank you.
