@yariplus looks awesome. Sorry I couldn't help you or with the back end, I've been really busy lately. (School, other projects)
-
Holy carp, that looks pretty awesome. Good job!

I guess this is an intended bug 
All in all
Much Wow

Action-Proposal:
- redirect user to generated link (e.g. for donation with value-selection)
And I'd abstract the idea of buttons: add buttons just like inputs and assign actions to each of them.
Hence another action
- clear form

Good idea!
And I'd abstract the idea of buttons: add buttons just like inputs and assign actions to each of them.
I was considering this, but I could not think of any buttons besides clear and submit, so I just add them to the form automatically. Is there any more you can think of?
I will be adding a custom input type too, so either way it will be possible to add your own buttons soon.
-
@yariplus My main reasons for custom buttons would be
- If you don't want a clear-button
- If you want the submit button to have a custom text on it
So these would be easy to manage by individual solutions but a more general solution would be completely customizable buttons.
And just with custom "input type" it wouldn't be easy to assign the actions, would it?

@TheAussie It goes in the post body as
(form:ID)You can only post forms if you are admin and it's the first post in a topic. My test form post is using:(form:best)Also, the functions I am calling may be 0.7.0 only, I have not tested for 0.6.0 compatibility.

When you feel this is ready for production we will put this on our Twitter/Facebook and show it off, very cool plugin.
-
This looks like a great plugin! Is it ready for use?
If not, what else needs to be done?
-
Thanks. At the moment it's only half ready. When I made the designer, I didn't know enough about the database to complete it. The plan was for @pitaj to work on that half. I haven't heard from him in a while, so I assume he's busy with other things right now.
However, I know quite a bit more about how to work with the database now. If he wanted to turn it over to me fully, I'm confident I could finish it.
So, at the moment, it is usable, but you can only send the results of a form to your email address.
-
@yariplus I'll give the plugin a try. Emailing might be good enough for my current purposes. I'm not familiar with saving to the NodeBB db yet, but I'm hoping to get to that soon for my own plugins. If @pitaj isn't interested in the plugin any more, maybe you should just fork it and finish it? Anyway, thanks for the info!
-
@yariplus So, I was actually busy, but my computer is out for about two more weeks and then I'll be able to focus more on my plugins and other projects. Sorry I can't be of much help right now.
In the meantime, if you could add some issues on Github detailing what you need done, I can start right away after I get my new PC set up.
-
@pitaj Nice! I'll start working on adding tasks via github. I got a few ideas of what the final product should look like by examining some other form makers/designers. And I'll make sure the current designer still works properly on 0.7/0.8
-
Has anyone had luck with this plugin on 0.8.2? I loaded it up without any errors in the logs or in the browser console, but the admin pages don't seem to respond to input. I'm still poking around though...
-
@jongarrison try one of the earlier commits before I started the redesign.
I'd really like to start working on this again, but I'm super busy right now and my other plugins are getting badly outdated...
-
@yariplus Thanks for the tip
-
looks like the development stopped on this plugin. Safe to assume not compatible with latest version?
We have a section on the form, where I would love all posts to follow a template. A form based submission would be a perfect answer
