Create table from the fields of the form to display in a page

    Hi,

    Suppose I have an event (conference, seminars,…) site and there are different type of people such as general participants and special guest such as organizers, professors, etc.

    I like to create registration form(s) and display specific fields of the form (such as name and email) in a table (by title for example: List of Participants), and a table (by title for example: List of Organizers), etc.

    1- Can I create one form to do this, or should I create one form for each type of participants?

    2-I know there are some plugins such as Tablesome, wpDataTables,…
    to do that. I like to reduce the number of installed plugins (at most, in such cases, use code snippet plugins like WPCode). Is there a neat code snippet(s) to do such task and use a proper shortcode to use in the page?

    Thanks.

    Hi @sdnazdi,

    I hope you are doing well today!

    1. In terms of creating registration forms with Forminator, it may be easier and more efficient to create separate forms for each type of participant. This will allow for easier management of the attendee data of your event. Forminator does allow for conditional fields, but having separate forms ensures clean and organized data per type of attendee.
    2. While your interest in reducing the number of plugins is understandable, using a dedicated plugin like Tablesome or wpDataTables would be the most effective way to display specific form data in a table. These plugins are designed to handle and effectively present data, which saves you significant time and reduces potential errors. However, wpDataTables has a direct integration with Forminator, so that might be the best option if you’d prefer using a single plugin.

    As always, please make sure to back up your website before introducing any new plugins or code snippets to prevent any potential site issues and be especially cautious about custom code snippets, as poorly written snippets can break your site or expose it to security vulnerabilities.

    Kind regards,

    Thanks @wpmudevsupport15 for your reply.

    I found this code. Do you think it is poorly written or it has/may will have security issue or break my site, or it is safe to use it

    Hi @sdnazdi,

    I’ve confirmed that the code is functioning properly, and in my initial assessment, I didn’t identify any security issues that could potentially disrupt the website. Please feel free to test the code in your development or staging environment.

    I hope that helps.

    Kind Regards,

    Hi @wpmudevsupport14, thanks for your answer. So, do you mean after testing this code locally or in staging environment, is it safe to use in live website?

    Yes. Once you can confirm it’s working fine as expected on your staging site, you can implement the code in your live website.
