FB and page/post level display of edit control.

I have just installed FB and so far I’m impressed. Does pretty much what it claims to do in a simple and straightforward fashion, however in a managed “WP as CMS” environment I need to be able to restrict which user roles and/or named users can or cannot add/remove existing forms in pages or posts.

Restricting access to the main FB controls is easy enough, but there seems to be no way to control [hide] the presence of the FB form control when qualified users are adding/editing pages or posts – thus for example all Editors will always see the FB control when editing a page. Which is potentially quite dangerous and/or damaging to the integrity of the site.

Any suggestions for sensible ways to handle this?

If not, it would be really useful if FB could be modified either to restrict this capability by role or to allow/deny capability by username – and best of all by both.

TIA.

Hi, I noticed when I ‘small text area’ it works fine if it’s a required field. However, if I don’t put any requirements, it pushes the blank text box way to the right as long as the question is. The text doesnt wrap to new lines unless it’s a required field.

Basically, if it’s required, the question “names of all other applicants at the property” takes up 3 lines. If it’s not required, it takes 1 line, and it pushes the text box way to the right. How can I fix this?

I did make one change in the css to make the small text box smaller vertically and horizontally. It was too big. But like I said it looks great if it’s a required field.

Thanks!

Sorry, keep coming up with other questions… 3rd question. Is there anyway to go left to right with fields rather than having a really long vertical form? maybe have 2 or 3 columns? Trying to use this for a credit app and it’s really long horizontally…

Hi there,
Great plugin to handle forms!
There is an issue when using this form with qTranslate plugin for multiple languages, there is no way to submit the forms in the other languages – pressing the submit button redirects to the english form page evey time.

I have asked in the WordPress forums, and there is a detailed description of that + links to showcase. You may find all details here –

Is there anything to do to handle that?

Thanks,
Maor

OK, thanks. How about photo uploads? Also, any tips or instruction on displaying the data available?

I am currently building a WP site for a client and can’t seem to figure out how to get FormBuilder to move from the bottom of my page to positioning it right under . Everything works except for this big gap. I would provide you all a link, but I’m hosting it on my computer at the moment. Here is the FormBuilder code that I used on the .php file:

All formbuilder files are located in my plugin folder.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks!

FB is running perfectly on my site. I’m only having one small problem with the formatting of the field labels which appear in the form. Specifically the title “Location” is not formatted like the other titles. I haven’t modified the CSS or the plugin. Here’s the page showing the problem.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Am loving this plugin in all my blogs. In my recent site/blog it’s giving 2 errors. I’m using two forms on seperate pages.

First, every time the form comes to mail, it comes in duplicate! why?

Second, the first form i created uses in the FROM field the email id i wrote to send it to. But the second form uses the email id of the person who is sending it, in the from field. That way, its so confusing. How can i correct that? I’ve checked and both forms use the same parameters to submit.

Around line 476 of formbuilder.php, withing the function formbuilder_process_form, the constant ABSPATH is used.

That is incorrect, and causes errors when running on a Windows server. The constant ABSOLUTE_PATH is defined at load time, and is altered for Windows machines so that the rest of the code functions correctly.

Please fix that to use ABSOLUTE_PATH, not ABSPATH. Otherwise, on Windows servers, ajax calls and POSTs are made to invalid URLs, and the form will never submit successfully.

Hi there,

I am trying to use Formbuilder to submit forms to Mailchimp (an email marketing firm).

Their systems require that I call the various form fields specific things, like “FIRSTNAME” or “EMAIL” (without quotes).

HERE’S MY PROBLEM:
For mailing address fields, I have to call each field “ADDRESS-addr1″ and “ADDRESS-city” and “ADDRESS-state”.

It seems Formbuilder is stripping out all hyphens from my field names. Is there any way to alter the code to allow hyphens?

Thanks,
Nick

Hey there,

Is there any way to display the formbuilder admin section (where the user selects which form tp use) only in the admin and not in the author user interface? I am customizing a multiuser blog and would like the average author to have as few distractions as possible on their “Add New Post” screen. Is there a way to specify which user levels will be able to use this function?

Thanks!
