[Plugin: Jazzy Forms] Grab a certain element of a form

  • Hi jazzigor,

    really a great work!

    Just want to know if it’s possible to grab a certain element of a form, to use it for example in a variable.

    In your FAQ you mentioned “If you need to process the output in any way use something like this: <?php echo jzzf_form(‘form_id’, null, true) ?>”. But this show of the whole form. I need access to a certain element, like the result of an operation.

    Would appreciate any kind of support.

    Thanks a lot!
    Chris

    Hi! Thanks for the kind words and for trying out my software.

    The FAQ entry you are citing here treats another topic. The output of the jzzf_form() function is the form itself (i.e. its HTML code), not the values the user fills in.

    You have the bear in mind that once the form is loaded it resides in the user’s browser, i.e. on client-side. You can use JavaScript in order to grab an element’s value and do whatever you want with it – on client-side.

    If you want to use PHP code for further processing, you are asking for a way to get values back to the server. Technically that would be an HTTP request (e.g. GET or POST) carrying user input and calculated values to the server. Jazzy Forms already does something similar for Email. However, at the time of this writing (v0.9.8) my software doesn’t have a generic HTTP request/form submission feature. I hope I can come up with it soon, because it’s been requested by other folks, too.
