    Hello i have a couple questions about the plug in:

    1. Can i add the file upload at the bottom of the form below the submit button?
    2. If i am collecting data in the form such as name, e-mail and phone do i need a consent button on the form?

    Thank you

    Hi @robh25

    I hope you are doing well.

    1. Can i add the file upload at the bottom of the form below the submit button?

    This would be possible but not suggested to do so, you can use the HTML field and paste the Button HTML code:

    <button class="forminator-button forminator-button-submit">Send Message</button>

    Then hide the last row using CSS:

    .forminator-row-last{
        display: none !important;
    }

    The CSS can be added to Form > Appearance > Custom CSS.

    Now with the HTML field, you can move the Upload behind it.

    However, this will probably trigger people to submit the form before uploading the necessary file.

    2 If i am collecting data in the form such as name, e-mail and phone do i need a consent button on the form?

    This depends on your terms and location, for example for GDPR https://gdpr.eu/gdpr-consent-requirements/

    Based on a few articles by writing the specific fields it indicate the user gives you consent to use the data, though most of the time I see that being used when you also plan to send the email to any integration so you can point out that in the terms of your site.

    I suggest checking your local law to verify if it is required, though most of the forms we deal with won’t use it.

    Best Regards

    Hi Patrick,

    Thank you for answering those questions.

    Just one more issue- Do you know why 2 boxes are showing up for the checkbox feature? https://ibb.co/8544pSN

    Thanks

    Hi @robh25

    This is usually caused by some small conflict of CSS – in most cases a CSS from theme (sometimes from other plugin instead) is overriding Forminator’s styles in a way that breaks checkbox display.

    It can also be fixed with CSS but to provide such CSS we’d need to check it first on the page where it happens. Could you share a link to the page with the form in question?

    We’ll take a look and get back to you with solution.

    Best regards,
    Adam

    HI @robh25

    Thanks for response!

    So this is caused by additional styles coming from the theme. We can’t modify the theme of course but try adding this to the site via some additional/custom CSS option (not in Forminator but rather in theme settings or an additional custom CSS plugin):

    .forminator-ui.forminator-custom-form[data-design=default] .forminator-checkbox .forminator-checkbox-box~span {
      margin-left:-20px!Important;
    }
    .forminator-ui.forminator-custom-form[data-design=default] .forminator-checkbox .forminator-checkbox-box~span:before{
      z-index:-1;
    }

    Note: make sure to fully purge all caches after adding it, including Autoptimize.

    Kind regards,
    Adam
