Execute Function on Form Submission

    I’m looking for a solution to add a number of points (using MyCred plugin) to a user’s profile when they submit a form. More specifically, I’m hoping to use Toro Forms to create surveys for users to fill out and issue the points as a reward for submitting a response.

    How might I hook into that form action to execute the mycred_add() function, passing the user’s ID and thus crediting their account?

    Okay, I’m now using the Form Action API code snippet (here: https://torro-forms.com/api/extending/form-actions/) which extends the Torro_Form_Action class. I’m a little out of my depth here, can anyone explain why I get:

    Fatal error: Call to protected Torro_Form_Action::__construct() from context ‘Torro_Manager’ in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/sandbox/wp-content/plugins/torro-forms/core/managers/class-manager.php on line 66

    Hi,

    if you want to use MyCred, the eaysiest way to do that is to use the shortcodes of MyCred.

    Just put somethong like

    [mycred_give amount=”10″ log=”He answered the Form” ref=”bonus_points”]

    to Redirections > Textmessage in the form. I think thats the easiest way to implement it. We don’t have an extra plugin for that yet. But we are thinking about to create an extension for that.

    I will check the error and have already added an issue for that on Github:
    https://github.com/awsmug/torro-forms/issues/330

    This problem will be solved the next days in the develope version and will come with 1.0.0 beta 8.

    Thank you for reporting! ??

    Thanks for your response, Sven. On further investigation of the working form actions inside the plugin I found that I could get mine working by including a couple of extra functions, namely:

    private static $instance = null;

    and 

    public static function instance() {
	if ( null === self::$instance ) {
		self::$instance = new self();
	}
	return self::$instance;
}

    With the hooked action in place I’ve managed to add a tab in the admin which let’s the user allocate points to a form and then runs the mycred_add function on submission. I spotted a couple of other typos in the example in your docs too: a missing semi-colon on line 33 and the last line tries to register the main class instead of the new one, torro()->actions()->register( 'Torro_Form_Action' ); should be torro()->actions()->register( 'My_Action' );.

    Great plugin. This has so far proved the perfect solution to my client’s requirement for a survey builder.

    Thanks again

    That makes me happy! ??

    And thank you for your investigation. I will check and fix this today.

    If you want to support us, I would be very grateful if you would rate the plugin!

    Hi,

    I have fixed the problem, so that you do not need your $instance variable and function anymore. The cunstructor had to be public. I have changed this for the upcoming version 1.0.0 beta 8.

    https://github.com/awsmug/torro-forms/issues/330

    You can get it, if you download the develop version from Github.

    https://github.com/awsmug/torro-forms/tree/develop

    Also I have fixed my errors in the documentation.

    Greetings,

    Sven
