print preview of output

Hi @sdnazdi,

I hope you are doing good today.

Can you please share a URL where we can see this form so we can check and try to help you?

We look forward to hearing back from you.

Kind Regards,

Hi @sdnazdi

It looks like on the frontend, the plugin is stripping the “onclick” tag on your button.

I see a previous thread that demonstrates the same issue. I’m guessing this hasn’t been patched yet.

In the meantime, you can add this javascript snippet to any page containing that specific form, and it will add the correct onclick attribute to the print button.

<script>
document.querySelector("div#forminator-custom-form-403--page-1 button").onclick=function(){window.print()};
</script>

(Note: For some reason, clicking the print button also seems to trigger the submit button, looking into that too)

Hope this helped

Hi @sdnazdi

The code is indeed “stripped out” for a safety/security reasons to prevent any possible JS-based attacks.

It actually is a HTML field also so it is not really expected to include JS scripts (which is not HTML).

The solution and an always-recommended-practice is to use scripts separately. Aside from enqueueing script from separate file, the two simplest solutions here would be:

1. The solution that @aakash8 (thanks for jumping in again!) suggested above; note: to add such code you can use one of the “code snippets” plugins freely available at www.ads-software.com

2. or to make it even more universal:

– create an empty file with .php extension (e.g. “form-printer.php”)
– copy and paste this code into it:

<?php 

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'forminator_preview_printer' );
function forminator_preview_printer() {
	
	?>
	<script>
	jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
		setTimeout(function() {
		$('.formprinter').click(function() {
			window.print();	
		});
		}, 1000);
	});	
	</script> 	
	
	<?php 
	
}

– save the file and upload it to the “/wp-content/mu-plugins” folder of your site’s WordPress installation

Now you can add this HTML to the HTML field (any one, of any form, not even Forminator forms) or, in fact, to any post or page or anywhere on the site (outside the form too):

<span class="formprinter">PRINT ME</span>

Best regards,
Adam

Hi @wpmudev-support8,
Thanks.
I created a php file and copied it to “/wp-content/plugins”
Then for testing, I created a new page in WP (also a new form with a separate HTML page), and paste the span tag in the editor (text), but I do not see any button for printing. Even I changed the span tag to button, but it does not do anything.

-Do I miss something? I will appreciate if you can explain a little bit more.
I tried also
<button onclick="window.print()"><span class="formprinter">PRINT ME</span></button>
or
<button onclick="forminator_preview_printer()"><span class="formprinter">PRINT ME</span></button>
and when I click on the button then the form is submitted(no printing notification).
-what is the following code at the end of your code above:

<?php 
	
}

Is it correct or something missing?
Thanks.

Hello there @sdnazdi

The button should not have anything “onclick” as the snippet above should do the trick, so it should be something simpler like:
<button class="formprinter">PRINT ME</button>

The code looks good, the opening PHP tag in the end is required as there was a closing tag before.

Take care,
Dimitris
