Hi guys, this is just to give a sign of life, because I’ve seen your complaints about my absence. I haven’t abandoned this project, I just had to put it aside a while because I’m lacking time. There’s more to come, but probably at snail speed…

Hi michymac101,

in order to have a dynamically generated HTML link you would create an HTML element and set its content to something like

Click here: <a href="{{IF(product=1, "https://www.linkone.com", "https://www.linktwo.com")}}">Link</a>

(The formula inside the double curly braces is evaluated in real-time, just like one you would use for an Output element.)

Of course that’s not the same as having a proper Submit button, but you can style it as such and spice its URL up with extra data.

I hope this helps.

I will have to check back if there’s something wrong with emails in IE. What version of IE are you using?

You can get rid of “WordPress” as the sender name when you follow the scheme "My name" <[email protected]> in the “From” field, instead of putting simply [email protected].

Hi folks. Thanks for the kind words! I’m working on buttons to clone forms and elements. There are more users who are missing this. The next update will have it and should be out in a couple of days.

Hi shjacobs,

about the form saving issue: yes, you are the first person to report such a problem. Jazzy Forms has never been tested with WP3.0.4, but this is not necessarily the answer to this issue. It might also have to do with the browser you are using. Which one is it, please?

about 1 (number formatting in emails):
In order to maintain an Ouputput element’s number formatting you can use the FORMATTED function. For example, change your placeholder from {{x}} to {{FORMATTED(x)}}

about 2: (radio buttons without defaults)
Do you think so? Although browsers support radio buttons without default selections, it is rarely seen on well-designed online web forms. It’s kind of contrary to the real-world radio metaphor that is behind this element, isn’t it?

about 3: (links in emails)
I’m glad you like this, but I haven’t done anything to achieve this! I reckon it is your email client that converts URLs to clickable links automatically.

Have you updated to v0.10.1? This sounds very much like an issue that is solved there. (At least under the conditions I have tested)
In your browser do you see any Javascript errors?

This is resolved in v0.10.1.

I’m glad I could help.

Hi soldier99,

1)
I can not reproduce any problem with decimals on my test machines. The correct version is the one with the dot (.) as a separator. Does it work for you here?
It might be due to a foreign-language browser or OS. If so, please tell me what environment you are working in.

2)
WIth CSS like the following. This one paints it red, just for demonstration purposes.
.jzzf_element_u input { background-color:red; }

3)
This seems to be a problemic specific to your theme. What about:
.art-postcontent ul > li { background-image: none; }

Thanks for the nice words. HTML in emails doesn’t sound like a big deal. I’m putting it down.

Hi kmercer75. Thanks for reporting this. It seems to be a problem with the way the formula gets parsed (the minus as a negation operator works only for numbers, not for variables). I’ll try to fix it as soon as possible. Meanwhile you can use a simple trick: try 1 - x^(0-m). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Over the last months there have been several folks reporting similar problems. Some of them even say the menu item magically re-appears (hitting Refresh??).

It seems there are themes out there that try to “simplify” your WordPress administration panel by hiding some menu items or cutting them off up to a given number. You might want to switch to another theme, e.g. one of the default ones (like twenty-eleven), just to see if this is the cause. In that case you might rather want to talk to your theme developer.

Anyway you should be able, as a work-around, to access Jazzy Forms’ configuration page by typing in the URL manually:
https://www.your-domain-name-here.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=jzzf_forms_top

Does that work?

Hi, sorry for that, niagaraww. I did that intentionally, hoping the impact would be low.

Until v0.10 placeholders in the email template that referred to a single form element maintained the format as specified in the element’s formatting settings. In v0.10 I silently changed that behavior and now those values appear unformatted, as raw numbers. I find that more consistent with other text operations like "The price is" & price that ignores the format as well. That’s the way it works in common spreadsheet programs, too.

If you want to use the form element’s format (in your case the leading dollar sign) you can use the new FORMATTED function. In the email template write {{FORMATTED(price)}} instead of {{price}}

Hey, great! Thanks to you for your valuable suggestions and for sharing your experiences here.

Hi lindseyp,

sorry for not being clear on that. In your email template you would simply write:

Electricity for your booth: {{LABEL(electricity)}}.

In general terms id alone evaluates to the element’s value, but you can use LABEL(id) in order to get the label/title of its selected option.

I hope this helps. I hope I can come up with documentation soon. I’m already working on it.
