Radio values

Hello there @mrbleuu

I appreciate the request, I forwarded to our developers in case there’s any workaround we could share here with you. Your patience is highly appreciated! ??

Take care,
Dimitris

Thanks. Currently it is working as the data is there from previous versions. However I cannot edit any forms without ruining it.

The only special characters I need are spaces (” “), letters, numbers and ability to tag (“<” and “>”).

I see another user has posted something similar and you said you will re-allow “text” into the box on the next update. Please ensure you allow above characters when you do this.

Thank you

HI @mrbleuu

Thank you for response!

Unfortunately, there’s no workaround for this for now other than possibly rolling-back to one of the previous versions of the plugin.

But I’ve got confirmation from our developers that these characters are “re-allowed” in nearest upcoming version of the plugin – 1.15.3. It should be released soon so once you update, it should start working again out of the bo and you should be able to edit/add forms with these characters.

Kind regards,
Adam

Hello @mrbleuu

It seems that there’s a workaround until v.1.15.3 is published. You can add the following snippet in a MU plugin (https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins):

<?php
add_action( 'wp_ajax_forminator_save_builder', function(){
	add_filter( 'sanitize_text_field', function( $filtered, $str ){
		return wp_kses_post( $str );
	}, 10, 2 );
}, 9 );

Warm regards,
Dimitris

Thank you. That’s great!

Hi, the update does not fix the problem. I need to add the muplugin above still to keep it working. Without the muplugin it saves the form ok, but when I submit the actual form the fields are all sanitised again and all HTML tags in the radio value field are stripped.

Hi @mrbleuu

Could you export your form and share it using Google drive? https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export

Hello,

TLDR: can you please enable HTML content to be hidden in radio button/check box values like you have in past. This is broken in 1.15.7

The latest version 1.15.7 totally removes the ability to hide HTML content for emails within radio buttons – which was working on 1.15.4 with the above muplugin at least.

I think this relates to one of these fixes:
– Fix: Data must be Sanitised, Escaped and Validated
– Fix: Stripping HTML tags
– Fix: Sanitised Custom HTML email notifications.

What I am trying to do is have different options sending people different email content / instructions based on their radio input.

So if say a question is “What is your favourite fruit” and the options are apples, mangos, pears, banana. When the person selects banana I want the confirmation email sent to the user to have a paragraph specific to bananas which I am currently hiding in the value of the bananana radio button (e.g. <b>bananas</b> are delicious).

The other way to do this is to use custom conditions for each email, but this makes the process highly inefficient as through a form there might 3 questions with multiple options and so I will need to create multiple email combinations (bananas AND male AND ice cream, banananas AND female and ice cream, banananas AND male AND chocolate brownie, banananas AND female AND chocolate brownies). THen if I need to edit the content for, say bananas then I have to edit in multiple versions.

I hope that makes sense.

Hello @mrbleuu !

Hope you’re having a good day!

Just a quick update to let you know that I’ve just tasked an improvement of this for our Forminator team. Please keep an eye on the updates to this in one of the upcoming versions.

Warm regards,

Thank you very much. This is really important for me and I would otherwise have to look at other WordPress form options. The alternative method I suggested above is too clunky/inefficient for my use

Seems this is a broader issue

This is also affecting any TinyCME formatted content rendering the plugin useless. If you look at the emails sent, it strips all formatting done in the Textbox by TinyCME and only sends as plain text with no formatting (lists etc are all lost)

Hi @mrbleuu

I was able to replicate it on TinyCME and we reported it to our Developers too.

Thanks – looking forward to a solution. I am in no rush as using 1.15.4 anyway due to the original HTML tag stripping issues.

Hello @mrbleuu

Did this workaround work for you? Please advise!

Thank you,

It did not. The submissions are still stripped off any formatting. I believe this is related to the changes you made of stripping html tags in .7 – I think it is the same issue which I raised in a different way in this thread originally.

Your fix above with muplugin adresses the problem mentioned here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/tiny-mce-error-message-on-form/
