Hey Patrick & Nithin

thank you very much for all your support! I really appreciate it.

I will have a deeper look into Patricks solutions next week. This week I’m very busy at work.

I’ve just tried Nithins solution. Unfortunately it does not work. When I select ?no credit“ it works. But if I select Credit card, the text field is still there. Based on you idea, I’m trying to work with a calculation field more for the credit card, so hopefully this will work.

Hello Patrick,

Thank you very much for the quick response and for forwarding it to the developers. I have been desperate myself ??

That is a cool idea with the validation. How does it work? How do I set it up? I haven’t found anything on this.

Best regards
Felix

Hi Nithin,

Thank you very much for your quick response.

Currently, we are using Forminator for the online check-in in our vacation homes. Guests can also book various additional services and provide their credit card for the deposit. However, sometimes there are guests who do not have a credit card. For these guests, we offer the option to pay the deposit and additional services on invoice, which they can unlock with a PIN provided by us. To solve this, I have set up the PIN prompt to appear only when the guest selects “no credit” from the radio button. Then, a number field appears with a minimum/maximum function that only accepts the PIN.

I recently encountered a problem when a guest checked in who had both codes (for the deposit and additional services – both have different codes) without ever having been in contact with us before. I do not know how they obtained the codes. Therefore, I had the idea of not assigning the codes anymore but calculating them instead based on the booking number (which is passed along via the URL). Our entire online check-in process is integrated into our guest portal, so the guest has no way of changing the URL.

If the input in the PIN field is incorrect or the field is left blank, the guest should not be able to proceed to the next page. Therefore, I thought of using the “visibility” function to display a text field as a required field if the PIN is incorrect or the field is left blank, but not allowing the guest to make an entry here, as I always hide this field using CSS. As a rule, I have set that if the field “Calculation after PIN” is 1 (and thus the correct code has been entered), the text field is hidden using the “visibility” function and is no longer a required field. For all other values, it should be displayed, but it is not shown because it is disabled in CSS.

However, the problem now is that the text field does not disappear when the correct PIN is entered. The calculation works correctly, but I seem to have made an error in the “visibility” function. I have also set up a test version of the form on my website: https://mein-seepark.de/test/?booking=10

My question is: what do I need to set up so that the text field disappears when the link and PIN are set to 10? I have not yet integrated the CSS because I cannot test it otherwise.

I hope it is clearer now what I am trying to do and need…

Dear Adam,

I’ve just tried my idea from the last posting. As long as I don’t add any radio button, it is working fine. Once I’ve added it, it does not work anymore. Most probably I mix something up with the visibility.

I’ve uploaded my “test form” to google drive. Probalby you or anybody else can have a look on it.

Here is the link:

Thanks for your help!

Hey Adam,

thanks for your quick reply. We have added the form to our guest app. It is on an empty page on our website and this site is integrated in our guest app. The information are sent to the form via the URL. The booking number are sent to a hidden field with a pre filled option. My plan would be to take this number, multiplied it with an other number and that’s the code. So very easy to us to “create” the code for the guest.
I’m looking for the option to add a number field and check on it “is the number correct, you can go the next page”. At the moment I have a number field with the Min / Max range as a limitation. So minimum is the code, maximum is the code +1. But everyone has the same and today I had the problem, that a guest had both codes and avoided the payment.

Probably it will work with a mandatory field, e.g text field. If the number is incorrect it is shown. But it is hidden by a CSS script. So the system is requesting an input, but the guest can not add anything because it is not visible. Not sure if this could work… or do you have a better solution?

best regards

Hey Patrick,

I’ve found the mistake. I’ve added in the paypal field a hidden field in the part pre filled billing details and clicked there on disable. When I removed the connection to the hidden field, it was working.
Thanks so much for your support!

Hey Kris,

thank you very much for your quick reply.
I‘m using the pre population via the URL. So on page 1 the number of nights will be pre populated by the URL which is added to our guest app. So the guest can not change it easily.
If the guest book an additional service which is charged by night, I‘m using the field on page 1 for the calculation.
The field on page 1 can be changed any time by the guest and I would like to avoid it. So the best would be to block or hide it. But I need the value for the calculation.

best regards

I’m wondering why i always see all fields after updating the plug-in. Now I did a roll back to version 1.17.1 and it works.

Hey, I am using Sms77.io. There you can use the email to sms gateway.

Hey Patrick,

thank you and the dev team for your help. I’ve just tried your solution and on the test mode it is working.

These plug-in is one of the best I’ve seen for WordPress.

Best wishes to you and your team from Germany

Hey,

I would create a text field where to enter the general code. Then I would set the visibitly to hidden for all other files if the code in the text field is not your global code.

Hey Nebu John,

thanks for getting back to me!

I’ve tried your solution but it won’t work. I’ve did a test with a stripe test card and the stripe system says for this payment: requires_confirmation

Do you know how long it will take to solve this problem? Do you think it will be solved with the next update mid of September?

Best regards
Felix

Create a numeric field and a calculation field (in calculation you set the numeric field, nothing else). Set strip to variable and the calculation field. That’s it ??

Hey Nebu,

thanks for your quick reply.

Here’s the form and some screenshots from Stripe of the not successful payment (without details):
