Form in a widget with summary in a new page

  • Hi! ??
    Thank you for this plugin! I think that is what I was looking for a long time, keep up the good work ??

    I just have one question though, I think it is really simple but I can’t figure that out…

    The fact is, I have created a simple form that I have placed (very important, it must be) in the sidebar as a widget :

    – Name
    – Age:
    – What do you like: –movies, books, cars

    and the thing I want when the user press submit is:

    it will redirect the user on a summary page (I don’t want the results to be shown on the sidebar) and with the data the user entered, it will complete a basic sentence:

    For example on that summary page, the basic sentence is:
    Hi, my name is [Name], I am [Age] y/o, and I like [].

    So when the user submit his form, the sentence will be completed with what he chose on the summary page.

    But I don’t want the page to be permanently changed, I just want it to change dynamically, like a search results.

    Is this possible? If so could you explain to me how to do it step by step? or redirect me to a tutorial or an example, I tried to read the FAQ but it does not seem to have what I am looking for, or I just did not understand… I don’t know I am a bit lost for the moment ??

    [I forgot to say that I don’t need the email thing feature at all, I am not using this form as a contact form)

    Thank you very much,
    Helena

    Hi, I am sorry I forgot that I also want to add a shortcode (which works) of another plugin in the sentence for example:

    Hi, my name is [Name], I am [Age] y/o, and I like [], thanks [shortcode-of-another-plugin].

    thank you for your help

    [EDIT] OK DON’T READ MY FIRST POST redirections and widgets things are WORKING now! thanks =)

    the only thing which is not working is the shortcode of the other plugin.

    I tried to add this on the fm-summary-multi.php file, but I want to add datas the user entered IN the shortcode, so I don’t know if it will work nor if I did it right… (I don’t know anything about php and things, I just made that with tutorial and examples…)

    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[my-plugin-shortcode filter=”.<?php echo fm_summary_get_item_value(‘name’); ?>.&&.<?php echo fm_summary_get_item_value(’email’); ?>.” my-plugin-shortcode-param=true /]’); ?>

    What am I doing wrong? ??
    Thank you very much

    [EDIT AGAIN] Ok I think it is working now with this code:

    <?php echo do_shortcode(“[my-plugin-shortcode filter=’. fm_summary_get_item_value(‘name’).&&.fm_summary_get_item_value(’email’)’ my-plugin-shortcode-param=true/]”); ?>

    The other plugin shortcode is shown, but filters with your plugin datas are not applicated… I think it is not really a problem with your plugin (or maybe yes? I don’t know if this code is getting correct values… maybe it is just empty so that is why no filters are applicated… if it is the case I will try to change my code again :/)

    [EDIT 2] Okay… lol I am really a newbie with all those things, I just noticed that,
    for example,
    fm_summary_get_item_value(’email’)
    does not give the value… it is just written the way it is in my filters… whoaaa… I am trying to find another way to code it… (I love you google)

    [Edit 3]

    Ok I tried with <?php echo fm_summary_get_item_value(‘name’);?>
    in the code above, but it is not working. It is working alone, but in the shortcode code, it leaves a blank ??
    *CRY*
