FormBuilder version 0.42


Thanks to all of you who have tried the FormBuilder plugin and given us feedback on it. We’ve been working hard to squash the bugs and improve it based on your suggestions.

Version 0.42 squashes a number of bugs that were found in the previous versions, and adds the ability for additional pluginable modules to be developed. We’ve replaced the somewhat vague “action” text field, with a dropdown list of modules (yet to be developed) which can be used to process the form results.

You can find it on the downloads page.

When I try to edit the form, I get this error: Warning: dir(/home2/neyofan/public_html/wp-content/plugins/formbuilder//modules) [function.dir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home2/neyofan/public_html/wp-content/plugins/formbuilder/formbuilder_options_pages.inc.php on line 365

Hi Tracy,

Thanks for the bug report. I’ve fixed the problem, and reuploaded v.0.41. You’ll need to download it again and overwrite your old formbuilder files.

Thanks again,
James

Hi Sheldon!
Great work, I am really thankfull that you did that plugin!
I tested several other contact plugins, but none is as flexible as yours, so you saved me a lot of work!
I really appreciate your good work, keep it up!

Best regards from Bremen, Germany!

Hey Gunnar, I’m just the manager. James (warkior) wrote 99% of the code behind the plugin. I’m the one responsible for changing the requirements while he was trying to write it.

Thanks for the encouragement though :)

Hey Sheldon, it works perfect, but one thing: what shoul I do to use charset UTF-8? My site is in Turkish, if I define Turkish fieldlabels or error mesagges, I get rare letters…
Thank you.

I’m not positive but you may need to set your character encoding in your meta tags. I don’t believe we require a certain encoding. We’re currently at a conference so James isn’t by a computer for a few days.

Try setting the following in between your header tags.

META HTTP-EQUIV=”Content-Type” CONTENT=”text/html; charset=utf-8″

Guys – thank you for an excellent plugin.
I am using the plugin on a church site. I have tried the CSS setting, but I cannot find the right place to change the settings to increase the width of the normal text input box.
Can you point me in the right direction please.
Regards
Cornelius

Cornelius, James can confirm this but I believe the width is just setup to use the browser default or is hardcoded at this point.

It’s something we’ll work on adding as something you can change in an upcoming release.

Hi Cornelius,

Add something like this to your formbuilder_styles.css file.
.formBuilderForm .formBuilderInput input{
width: 100px;
}

Replace 100 with your desired width in pixels and you should be good to go.

I was able to activate the plugin, but the Management page only shows the FormBuilder Management ( v 0.42) Header. Nothing else appears. I tried on Safari and Firefox, both with the same results. Any ideas? Thanks.

Tracey says:

@Brett, maybe you should re-upload it.

Is their any way I can remove the phone number box?

Jason says:

Any way to add a form to areas OUTSIDE the loop, like the sidebar?

How about a Formbuilder WIDGET… that should do it. :)

James says:

Hey Jason,

Excellent suggestion. We may just include it in future versions.

James,
Thank you – it works perfectly.
I found a width of 220 to be good.

Excellent. Glad I could help.

I’m having trouble viewing the form in Firefox. Any idea?

René says:

right after activating the plugin I got to the formbuilder management. There I saw: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in http://www.rondomzorg.nl/wp-content/plugins/formbuilder/formbuilder_options_pages.inc.php on line 82

Got a solution for this?
