Normal Plain Text and “Hidden” Fields that are filled in on a selection.

  • Hi there

    Im currently just testing this plugin to see if it will do what our clients need it to do. I have created the form and its working but I wanted to know how to go about adding the following:

    1. I have a paragraph of terms and conditions that need to be added before the checkbox which asks if they accept the terms and conditions. How would I add that paragraph of text into the form?

    2. I have a section titled “work experience” and have made provision for 2 “jobs” current position and previous position. Is there a way to add a plus icon or something that when clicked will allow the person to enter yet another previous position without it being displayed unless clicked? (hope that makes sense).

    Then lastly, how would I go about styling the form?

    Thanks

    The answer to both of these questions is that you need to use a custom template. That will require some knowledge of PHP, CSS and HTML.

    You can use the custom template to place the block of text before the checkbox. You can use the “help text” for that (in the field definition) but that normally comes after the control, so you’ll need to set up your template so that the help text comes before the checkbox for that one field.

    I have a tutorial that will give you the basic technique.

    For the second, this is a lot more complicated because the plugin doesn’t have this kind of field built in. It is possible, but you need to build all the functionality yourself, including the javascript to make it happen on the frontend.

    And for your last question, styling the form…the plugin doesn’t have any styling settings, it relies on the theme to style the form. This sometimes requires you to use classnames that the theme needs (you do this in a custom template). You can also style it directly using your own CSS rules. The plugin has a setting called “custom CSS” where you can put CSS rules that will only be loaded on pages with plugin content.
