Submission Problem and Notification don′t work, logic conditions

Hey there @adguer

I was wondering if by any chance do you remember any plugin install or theme update when the submissions issue started to happen? If you remember any plugin install or update then could you please create a recent backup of your site and run a plugin conflict test?

You can follow this guide here https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-plugin-conflicts-how-to-check-for-them-and-what-to-do/

If you get the same issue, you could also try to use a transactional email service like Postmark App or Mailgun to make sure that the emails are not being trapped by the server.

Users are not automatically registered when they fill up a form submission, is just to get their information into the submission DB.

All the submissions are saved with an ID, and you can use the same placeholder for admin notification and for user notification, I just did a quick test and it worked for me, that’s why I was suggesting to run a plugin conflict, for changing this ID, I’m checking with our devs and will be back as soon as I have more information.

In this case, I think that a good option would be to create a registration page with BuddyPress so you can add custom fields with the information needed for this subscriptions or a plugin like this one https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-members/

Hope this information helps.

Jorge

This site and form was created by a previous designer, it was pass to me cause form did′t work.
I modify the settings of the plugin and notification started working, both sides, admin and user, as saving the sumissions in database, but ID used in the plugin are only 2 digits, and what I see in notification email are 6 digits!! (I am very confused)

In plugin settings tab, in filds tab I can′t find {sumbissions_id} to see how its working. And something weird happened when I change the appearence of form from default to flat or bold, this {sumbissions_id} sent only “98600” number for all tests I sent.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/X9tdcCvNwbTQ6rfU6 USER notification

I would like to know how to modify that option, the “counter” in that field, but I can′t find it in the fields tab!!! to see what setting it is using.

I taking note of this I′ll try deactivating some plugins, although in this site are installed this plugins from WPMUDEV.org: smart scrawler, hummingbird, defender, Smush, and the theme is Elated.

Hello @adguer,

hope you’re doing well today! ??

The {submission_id} is actually the
form ID + submission ID

See for example my testing site below:

form ID is 8937
https://monosnap.com/file/Yt25fdkFCBgBBJ7q1hCU3d3dF59Ohy

submission ID is 10
https://monosnap.com/file/xb0ff7kqlMWbHKz1b5xdElv2Kjbj55

{submission_id} is 893710
https://monosnap.com/file/h41Ka57G2z3v7qYsDnA6yIJNqfJ7pN

Hope that clarifies things better!
Warm regards,

Thank you for clarifie this, I am understanding better this, but also I′d like to know how you can set this field in the form or if I can reset the counter, or modify it, may be just print only the submission ID with out the form id.

I have to tell you as this was passed to me to fix it I am scrolling the more than 300 filds and I can′t see {Sumission_ID} field, I am looking for it to understand better this form.

Client needs a registration number for participants control, a folio number, is must have, this is why I am insisting in this point.

Hello there @adguer,

hope you’re doing well and I’m sorry for the late response here.

I’ve already asked our developers if we can strip the form ID and just keep the submission ID in the emails.

I have to tell you as this was passed to me to fix it I am scrolling the more than 300 filds and I can′t see {Sumission_ID} field, I am looking for it to understand better this form.

Could you please elaborate on this a bit more? Are you referring to the email settings?

Client needs a registration number for participants control, a folio number, is must have, this is why I am insisting in this point.

If users are already registered, you could use the {user_id} instead or even {user_ip} even though the later one can’t be 100% safe.

Yes thank you, sorry for delay in this topic, I still working with this, the problem was that when I tried to edit the form, I can see the 600 fields of the form, but submission_id field, so I didn′t understand how this was working.

Besides the folio id related with each user, client need to assign some identification number or id so they can identify each choreography (each academy can enter up to 10 choreographies in different categories based on age, styles and number of participants, up to 30 dancers in scene) so you can see this could be a little confusing for producers, and judges, so they want something a little more complex.

Example (hope this help to understand better and you can recommend something to complete this job quickly)

Unique-ID | Academy name
Adress: Street, number, town, state | Phone: land line | Movile
Teacher in charge: Name of teacher
etc.

Number of choreographies [ ]

Choreography #1 | unique ID for each choreography (10 max)
Theme:
Style | Category | Level (based on age)
Participants
Name | age
Choreography # 2 | unique ID
and so on to 10 max,

So I understand that making the form available only for registered users can help in the folio thing, however I still need something to help with each Choreography identification

If you can make some recommendations I′l be glad! if the plugin can′t make this, I would also like to know

Hello @adguer,
hope you’re doing well and I’m really sorry for the huge delay here.

As long as you can have a submission ID then values of “Academy name” and each “Choreography” shouldn’t be enough to identify each part? For example, submission #5 has a unique entry like:
#5 -- "My awesome Academy" -- "choreo1" -- "choreo2" -- "choreo3" were
– #5 the Submission ID
– “My awesome Academy” the Academy name
– “choreoX” can be the value of a hidden field in each Choreography section

Each Choreography section can be hidden with conditionals, so if “Choreo1” is enabled (like from a checkbox), then the fields of “Choreo2” will be visible and so on.
There’s also a feature request for a Repeater field that could be pretty helpful for this, I really can’t provide any estimated time for this functionality though.

You can also use the Forminator API if you want to custom code any more advanced solution:
