Well “Form” is the extremely creatively named add on for Connections that adds the very often requested feature; a front end form to allow users to submit entries for approval. Yep, I said it! Finally a front end form for Connections.

I do have to warn you, this is not a final release version. I’ve been encouraged by many users to early release a beta. Well, that’s what this is, a beta release. And for a limited time it’s for sale at half price.

Now, don’t let the “beta” word scare you off. It’s only being called a beta because it’s not feature complete. Many hours have been devoted to the design and testing so it is considered it to be pretty stable. Some great features are already done such as being able to selectively enable/disable data field types and being fully AJAX driven, meaning no page refresh once a user submits an entry. The features not yet implemented are custom field names [change the labels of the various input fields], custom ordering of the data field types, custom required fields and internationalization.

Want it? Here’s where to get it: http://connections-pro.com/pro-module/form/

The following shortcode options have been added:

• address_types
• phone_types
• email_types

Now you can tell the template which data types to display.
The valid options for each are as follows:

• address_types = home, work, school, other
• phone_types = homephone, homefax, workphone, workfax, cellphone
• email_types = personal, work

You can also assign multiple types, simply separate by them using a comma.
