Extension Update: Form 2.1

Extension Update: Form 2.1

An update to the Form extension brings a small but notable new feature, page redirect after a successful submission. You now have the option to redirect to another page on your site after the user has successfully submitted a new entry. Enabling this new feature is very easy. Simply go to the Connections : Settings admin page, click the Form tab, enable the Redirect option and select the page you wish to redirect the user to and click the Save Changes button.

    That is great. However, I have set up a form page using [connections_form] but where do I find the code so that on the address field, phone field etc., I only want work to show by default?

      There is no way to change what option will be changed by default in Form. However, if you are familiar with basic PHP and WordPress filters, you can rearrange and remove options (this would also affect the admin).

      Here’s an example which removes the Home, School and Other address types.

      function cn_add_address_types( $options ) {
 
	unset( $options['home'] );
	unset( $options['school'] );
	unset( $options['other'] );
 
	return $options;
}
 
add_filter( 'cn_address_options', 'cn_add_address_types' );

      Does that help?

        This is spectacular…can we also use a code like this to get rid of the ‘preferred’ and ‘visibility’ checkboxes? (and leave them at the default of “public”?

          Sorry, no. But, you can use CSS to hide those two options. The next update will include many field configurations options making the need for such code obsolete but still functional (for backward compatibility), meaning the code will still work but will no longer be needed.
