Plugin Documentation

Detailed documentation about all features and settings of CFF.

How it works?

From the dashboard/configuration area the process is as follows:

  1. Insert data fields into the form
  2. Insert a calculated field and define the calculation rule on it to store the calculated value
  3. Configure the general form processing, email and PayPal settings if needed
  4. Publish the form from a post or page (go to edit posts or pages).

From the end user (visitor) point of view, the process is as follows:

  1. The user fills the data fields
  2. The calculated fields (if any) will automatically show the calculated value
  3. If the form Processing is enabled:
    • If PayPal integration isn't enabled:
      1. The user clicks "submit" and you (the website owner or administrator) receive a notification email with the data posted by the user.
      2. The user receives an automatic "confirmation/thank you" email.
      3. The user is redirected to a "confirmation/thank you" page into your WordPress website
    • If PayPal integration is enabled:
      1. The user clicks "submit" and is automatically sent to PayPal for the payment
      2. In background (transparent to the user): The request is saved into the local database and mark as "un-paid"
      3. The user completes the payment at PayPal
      4. In background (transparent to the user): Upon completed the payment, you (the website owner or administrator) receive a notification email with the data posted by the user.
      5. In background (transparent to the user): The request is marked as "paid".
      6. The user receives an automatic "confirmation/thank you" email.
      7. The user returns to a "confirmation/thank you" page into your WordPress website

Installation

To install the WordPress plugin follow these steps:

  1. Download the plugin to your computer.
  2. Go to the plugins section in WordPress
  3. If has been installed another version of the plugin, deactivate it, and then press the corresponding "Delete" button.
  4. Press the "Add New" button at top of section.
  5. Press the "Upload Plugin" button, and select the zipped file downloaded in the first step.
  6. Finally, install and activate the plugin.

Inserting the CFF on Page

Each form has a shortcode associated with it, which you can see both in the form list and when you edit them.

Shortcode

Form shortcodes support several attributes, such as:

  • id, represents the id of the form you want to load.
    [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1"]

  • class, allows you to assign a CSS class name to the form and customize its design.
    [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" class="class-name"]

  • iframe, accepts the values 1 or 0. Allows you to load the form inside an iframe tag or directly on the web page.
    [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" iframe="1"]

  • asynchronous, accepts the values 1 or 0. The asynchronous attribute must be used in combination with the iframe to defer the loading of the form after completing the page load to increase the page load speed.
    [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" iframe="1" asynchronous="1"]

Form shortcodes also support personalized attributes, which the plugin converts into globally scoped javascript variables that you can use from equations associated with calculated and DS fields.

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" custom_attr="234"]

From the equation, you can use the custom_attr variable. Ex. cff_var['custom_attr']*fieldname1

Another valid notation is cff_var.custom_attr*fieldname1

To publish the form on your website, all you need to do is paste its shortcode into a page's content. Additionally, the plugin includes modules for the most popular page builders, such as Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, Page Builder by SiteOrigin, Beaver Builder, DIVI, among others.

  • Configure the settings at the administration menu >> Settings >> Calculated Fields Form.
  • To insert a form into some pages or posts, use the specific CFF block, widget or icon:

    Using the Gutenberg Editor

    Insert Calculated Form

    Using the WordPress Classic Editor

    Insert Calculated Form

    Using Elementor

    Insert Calculated Form

    Using Page Builder by SiteOrigin

    Insert Calculated Form

    Using Beaver Builder

    Insert Calculated Form

    Using DIVI Builder

    Insert Calculated Form

  • After doing that, the tag [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1"] will be inserted into your content. The "id" is optional, if not specified the first form will be used. When you preview the content in the public website that tag will be replaced by the reservation form:

    Calculated Form

    Note: To assign a classes names to the forms, use the "class" attribute with the classes names separated by blank characters: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" class="class-a class-b class-c"]

  • The Claculated Fields Form includes multiple predefined designs.

    Calculated Form

Import/Export Forms

Professional Version Developer Version Platinum Version

The "Calculated Fields Form" allows exporting the forms created in a WordPress website to be imported in other websites(*). The feature is really thankfully for owners or developers of multiple websites to avoid implementing the same form once and once again.

Note(*): Both websites must be using the same version of the plugin to have a compatible exported file.

To export a form:

  1. Go to the settings page of the plugin through the menu option: "Settings/Calculated Fields Form"
  2. Select the form from the list: "Export this form structure and settings" (in the "Import/Export Area"), and press the "Export" button.
  3. Finally, select a location in your computer to save the exported file.

To import a form:

  1. Go to the same area mentioned in the previous section.
  2. Choose the previously exported file (.cpfm) that contains the form's structure and settings.
  3. Finally, press the "Import" button.
  4. The new form will appear in the list of forms. To modify it use the related "Settings" button.

The Form Builder

The Form Builder lets you to add/edit/remove fields into the form and also to specify the validation rules for your form (required fields, email fields, etc...).

Form Builder

Form title and predefined designs

The "Form Settings" tab allows define the form's title and description, as the placement of labels with respect the fields (at top, at left, aligned to the right).

In the "Form Settings" tab is possible to enable the autocompletion of fields, evaluate dynamically the equations (or evaluate the equations through a "Calculate" button). In case of evaluate the equations dynamically it is possible configure the form to evaluate the equations in the onchange events, or in the onchange and keyup events.

Furthermore in the forms settings tab it is possible configure the form's design. The plugin includes multiple predefined designs.

Form Settings Tab

Customize the form's design:

If the browser's persistence option is ticked the plugin will store the data entered by the users, locally in their browsers (only compatible with the browsers with support for the localStorage object) until the form be submitted. So, if an user that is filling the form closes the tab, the next time the user visit the webpage the form's fields will be prefilled with the data stored in his browser.

Through the "Customize Form Design" attribute in the "Form Settings" tab, it is possile to enter the CSS rules to apply to the form and customize its appearance.

Editing the field settings in the Form Builder

Field Settings

When you click a field already added, you can edit its details and validation rules. The following properties are useful:

  • Field Label: Label for the field in the public form and into the email.
  • Field tag for the message: In addition to the general <%INFO%> tag, you can use this tag to show the field value into a specific tag of the email.
  • Specific settings: The settings depends of the field type, for example the format of the phone number, the date format, etc...
  • Validation rule: The validation rules depends of the field type, example: required, only digits, valid email, valid number, etc...
  • Predefined value: Pre-filled value for the field, if any.
  • Instructions for user: This text will appear in a smaller form below the field. It's useful for giving instructions to the user.
  • Add CSS layout keywords: Customize the look & feel. If used, this field must contain the name of the CSS class and not the styles rules directly.

The plugin includes predefined classes that you can assign to the fields through the "Add CSS Layout Keywords" attribute:

hide to hide the field by default.
ignorefield hides the field, but unlike the hide class, ignorefield disables the field so that it does not affect the equations.

Other features in the form builder:
  • Equal fields validation: Use it for example to confirm if the email or password typed in two different fields are the same. This is valid for "Single Line Text", "Password" and "Email" fields.
  • Dependent fields: Use this feature for show/hide fields (any field type) based in the selection made on other fields (checkboxes, radiobuttons or select/drop-down fields).

calculated fields settings:

When clicking over a calculated field in the form builder the following settings will appear:

Calculated Field

In addition to the general fields settings there are three additional settings:

  • Set Equation: To enter the equation/formula used for the calculation.
  • Operands: To select the fields from the form that will be used in the calculations. Click the "+" button for adding a field into the equation/formula.
  • Operators: Operators and functions supported for the formula...

If you are implementing a complex equation, you can press the "ADVANCED EQUATION'S EDITOR" button in the field's settings, to load a javascript editor with auto-completion, colors code for reserved words, errors detection and more:

Advanced Equations Editor

Note for advanced users: The JavaScript ternary operator is also supported: (condition ? value_if_true : value_if_false). See the "Ideal Weight Calculator" for a sample.

For DataSource controls

Developer Version Platinum Version

This is a step by step about the use of datasource controls

  1. Insert in the form the control with access to external datasources (these controls are represented with the DS at the end of its names)
  2. Select the control in the form, and pays attention to the "Define Datasource" section.

    There are different datasources: MySQL Database, CSV file, Recordset, Post Type, Taxonomy, User Data, and Forms Submissions.

    • MySQL Database, allows populate the field with the data stored in database.
    • CSV, allows populate the field with the data stored in a CSV file (Datasource available only in fields with multiple entries: DropDown DS, Checkbox DS, Radio Button DS).
    • Recordset, allows populate the fields from the records stored in a "RecordSet DS" field.
    • Post Type, allows populate the field with the information associated to a specific post type (like the products names in a Woocommerce, etc.)
    • Taxonomy, allows populate the field with the information of taxonomies.
    • User Data, to get the information of WordPress users.
    • JSON, read records from objects array.
    • And finally the Forms Submissions, to read other forms' submissions.

    Note: Depending of control selected will be available all available datasources, or not.

So, suppose we want populate the field with the data stored in a database table.

  1. Select Database, from the list of datasources.
  2. If the database is different that used by WordPress, will be required enter the Host's address, the authentication data to connect to the database (username and password), and the name of database(a host can include multiple databases). There is a button for testing the database connection.

    Note: If the database is the same used by WordPress, leave empty the fields above.

Now its time to define the query to database

  1. Enter the name of table's column, that store the control's values. If you are using the Drop-down DS control, it has multiple options; each option of drop-down list includes a value and text; in this option you determine the column in the table that includes the values of options.
  2. Enter the column's name that stores the control's texts. Similar to the previous step, but in this case the column stores the texts of the options (in case of checkbox or radio buttons, this column contain the label of options)
  3. Type the table name, a database can include multiple tables, you should identify the table you are using.
  4. Type a condition if required. If you want filtering the values to display in the control, type the condition in this attribute. For example, suppose you want load the data of posts that are public, the condition in this case would be: post_status='publish', where post_status is the name of column, and publish is the value for filtering.
  5. The "Order by" is used to order the query results by the values in columns, and not by the order that data were stored in database. For example, suppose you want populate the control with the users names of WordPress, and you want order the results alphabetically, in this case the "order by" would be: display_name ASC, where display_name is the column's name, and will be ordered in ascending way.
  6. Limit, enter an integer number to reduce the number of query results.

If your query is very complex, and you prefer create it manually; selects the option "Custom Query", but in this case you should type all the query. Pay attention because you should use alias in the "SELECT" clause, to indicate the colum used to get the values, and the column used to get the texts. For example, a hypothetical query:

SELECT column1 AS value, column2 AS text FROM tablename WHERE column3 > 5 ORDER BY column2 ASC LIMIT 5

The use of database as datasource, allows filtering the information to populate the fields with the values on other fields in the form, or javascript variable. The use of variables are only accepted in the "Condition" section ("WHERE" clause), and requires the format: <%varname%>. For example, to get the title of a post, filtering by its ID, if the id is defined through the fieldname3 field, the "Condition" attribute of the query would be: ID=<%fieldname3%>

Constants to use in the queries

Besides the variables, the plugin allows the use of some constants in the queries. The constants must be enclosed between curly brackets, for example: {user.id}

Assuming you want to insert a "DropDown DS" field where the texts of the choices are the posts' titles, and the values of choices are their IDs, but only for the posts belonging to the logged user, in this case the query to associate with the "DropDown DS" field would be:

SELECT ID as value, post_title as text FROM {wpdb.posts} WHERE post_author={user.id}

In the previous query the constants: wpdb.posts corresponds to the name of the posts table in your WordPress, and user.id to the id of logged user.

The complete list of constants:

blog.id, the id of the current blog (useful in multisite WordPress installations)

wpdb.prefix, prefix used by WordPress in the name of database's tables, for example, the text "wp_" into the table's name "wp_posts"

wpdb.comments, the name of Comments table

wpdb.commentmeta, the name of Comment Metadata table

wpdb.links, the name of Links table

wpdb.options, the name of Options table

wpdb.postmeta, the name of Post Metadata table

wpdb.posts, the name of Posts table

wpdb.terms, the name of Terms table

wpdb.term_relationships, the name of Term Relationships table

wpdb.term_taxonomy, the name of Term Taxonomy table

wpdb.termmeta, the name of Term Meta table

wpdb.usermeta, name of User Metadata table

wpdb.users, the name of Users table

wpdb.blogs, the name of Multisite Blogs table

wpdb.blog_versions, the name of Multisite Blog Versions table

wpdb.site, the name of Multisite Sites table

wpdb.sitecategories, the name of Multisite Sitewide Terms table

wpdb.sitemeta, the name of Multisite Site Metadata table

user.id, the id of the current user

user.login, the username of the current user

user.nicename, the URL-friendly name for the current user

user.email, the email address of the current user

user.url, the URL associated to the current user

user.display_name, the user's name that is shown on the site for the current user

user.first_name, the first name of current user

user.last_name, the last name of current user

How to use CSV files as datasource?

The CSV files can be used as data sources for fields with multiple choices (DropDown DS, Radio Btns DS, Checkboxes DS). The initial steps are similar to the previous section, but selecting the "CSV" option as data-source instead of selecting "Database".

A comma-separated values (CSV) file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. The use of the comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this file format.

For CSV files, the plugin includes the attributes:

Select CSV file: allows to select between a local or online file. For local files, the field displays a file field for selecting the CSV file. For online files the field displays a text field for entering the URL to the CSV file.

Use headline: tick the checkbox if the first line of CSV file is a headline to identify the data in the next records.

Delimiter: enter the delimiter symbol used as the field separator on each record.

Press the "Import CSV" button to import the records into the form. This action will feed the lists "Select column for texts" and "Select column for values", that are used for selecting which fields will be used texts and values of the choices in the DS field.

Where the value is equal to: allows filtering the rows to include in the field. The value entered in the attribute must be equal to the value in the column selected for the field's values. It is possible to use the values in other fields in the form, or variables, for filtering the rows, similar to the "Database" datasource.

Using Recordset as datasource.

  1. Select the recordset option from the list of data sources.
  2. Select the "RecordSet DS" field from the list of recordsets.
  3. Type the property in the record to be used as the value of the DS field.
  4. Type the property in the record to be used as the value of the DS field.
  5. Enter the conditions for filtering.

    This clause require additional instructions, that are explained with an example:

    Assuming the values in the "RecordSet DS" fields, selected as datasource, is a list of records with the structure:

    {
    	'First Name' : 'John',
    	'Last Name' : 'Smith',
    	'Birth Date' : '1th Jan, 2001'
    }
    

    and you want populate a "Line Text DS" field with the "Birth Name" of the user "John Smith"

    Type the property name: Birth Date in the "value" attribute.

    Enter the properties for filtering in the condition field (pay attention to the use of the reserved word "record" in the conditions):

    record['First Name']=='John'&&record['Last Name']=='Smith'

Tips: Javascript is casesensitive, please, be careful with the properties names.

In the conditions can be used the following comparison operators:
equal to: ==
non equal to: !=
less than: <
less than or equal to: <=
bigger than: >=
bigger than or equal to: >=

And the logical operators:
and: &&
or: ||

Create dependencies between fields

Some fields, like radio groups, checkboxes and drop-down menu, allow dependencies in function to the option selected.

For example, suppose your form includes a radio-group control with multiple choices: - House, - Car, - Electrodomestics, and each of them, uses different attributes. The house requires fields for address, number of rooms, etc; the car requires a field for trademark, model, etc. and finally the electrodomestics, will need type of electrodomestic,and more. So, if you want display the fields, depending of choice selected:

  1. Select the radio group fied in the form editor.
  2. Press the "Show dependencies" link, in the choices area.
  3. and select the field to display if the choice is selected. If you need associate multiple fields to the choice, press the plus button and select the new fields.

The calculated fields allow dependencies too, but in function to its value. For example, if you are designing a form for selling electrodomestics, and you want display additional fields for finance the purchase, if the amount is bigger than or equal to $1000usd. In this case:

  1. Select the calculated field.
  2. In the "Define dependencies" section, select a rule in the "if the value is" dropdown, and enter the value in the input box.
  3. Select the field to display in case that the rule be valid. Using the "plus" buttons it is possible define multiple rules, or associate more than one field to the same rule.

Create dependencies with other fields. It is possible create dependencies with Dropdown fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and calculated fields. To define dependencies with other fields, would be necessary to use Calculated Fields as auxiliary fields. Simply, should to use the field as part of the equation associated with the calculated field, and create dependencies rules in function to the equation's result. The auxiliary fields are not relevant in the form's interface, to hide them, tick the checkbox: "Hide Field From Public Page"

If the correspondence fails, the emails can be managed as Spam or as a "Phishing" email, in whose case would be deleted for security reasons.

  • Destination emails (comma separated): List of administrators that will receive the email notification. To allow selecting the destination emails dynamically with a field in the form, enter the special tag of the field, for example: <%fieldname1%>
  • Email subject: Subject of the notification email sent after completing the payment.
  • Include additional information?: Optional information about the user IP and browser.
  • Email format? Select if the email will be sent as plain-text or HTML-formatted.
  • Message: Content of the notification email that you will receive. Keep the tag <%INFO%>, it will be replaced automatically with the form data send by the user.

Displaying Form Summary in the Thanks Page

Professional Version Developer Version Platinum Version

  • Go to the thanks page
  • Press the icon indicated in the next image, to insert a shortcode with format [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]

Insert Form Summary Gutenberg Block

Insert Form Summary

The shortcode to insert in the thanks page allows a total control over the content to display with it.

In case to display all fields submitted with the form, is as simple as insert the shortcode: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]. But what to do if you want include in the thanks page only some of submitted fields, and not all?

The shortcode allows define the "fields" attribute, to select the fields names to include in the thanks page, separated by the comma symbol. For example, suppose the form has three fields: fieldname1, fieldname2, and fieldname3, but we want include only the fieldname1, and fieldname3, and exclude the fieldname2, in this case the shortcode would be:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT fields="fieldname1,fieldname3"]

But in some cases, we need more control over the content to display. By default, the shortcode is replaced by pairs of label-value for each field included in the thanks page. But what happen if you want display the label of fieldname1 in bold, or use a different label for the fieldname2, that the label used in the form?. In this case you should use the shortcode like a tag: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]...[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT], and its content would be common HTML tags, with the field names using the same format that in the notification emails: <%fieldname#%>, to display only the label <%fieldname#_label%>, and to display only the value <%fieldname#_value%>. So, in this case the shortcode would be:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]
<p><%fieldname1_label%>:<%fieldname1_value%></p>
<p>New Label: <%fieldname2_value%></p>
<p><%fieldname3%></p>
[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]

To get the complete list of tags to include in the thank you page, read the "SPECIAL TAGS IN THE NOTIFICATION EMAILS" section .

The shortcode accepts too the if_latest attribute, whose accepted values are: 0 or 1 (0 by default) to replace the shortcode, only if it corresponds to the latest submitted form. This attribute should be used in combination with the formid attribute described in the next section.

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT formid="3" if_latest="1"]

The if_paid attribute in the result shortcode will display the submitted information, only if its payment status is paid

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT if_paid="1"]
Associate a same thank you page with multiple forms

The forms' structures can be very different, and an unique shortcode wouldn't be sufficient to represent all forms. An option would be insert a different summary shortcode for each form, defining the attribute: "formid" indicating the form's id, in each of shortcodes, in whose case the plugin will replace only the shortcode corresponding to the form that has been submitted:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT fields="fieldname1,fieldname3" formid="1"]
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT fields="fieldname8,fieldname9,fieldname14" formid="2"]
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT formid="4"]
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT formid="5"]
<p><%fieldname1_label%>:<%fieldname1_value%></p>
<p>New Label: <%fieldname2_value%></p>
<p><%fieldname3%></p>
[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]

Displaying the list of submissions

Professional Version Developer Version Platinum Version

  • To display the list of summaries insert the shortcode [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST]

This shortcode is similar to [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]. With this shortcode it is possible to display all submitted fields or controlling the fields and format of the summary.

However the [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST] requires the formid attribute with the form's id, or multiple forms ids separated by commas. For example: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1"] or [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1,2,3"]

Or at least a submission's id: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST submission="123"]

There are other attributes supported by the [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST] shortcode, but these are optional:

  • submission: the list of submissions ids separated by comma. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" submission="8,20,230"]
  • from: a text with date format (yyyy-mm-dd) to display the list of submissions from a specific date. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" from="2018-04-09"]

    The from attribute accepts relative dates, like from="+3weeks -1day", from="-1year", etc.

  • to: a text with date format (yyyy-mm-dd) to display the list of submissions until a specific date. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" to="2018-04-09"]

    The to attribute accepts relative dates, like to="+2months +15days", to="-1week", etc.

  • order: used for ordering the submissions in ascending or descending order. The accepted values are: ASC and DESC. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" from="2018-01-01" to="2018-04-09" order="DESC"]
  • limit: used to display a specific number of submissions. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" limit="10"]
  • events_per_page: allows paginate the submissions list. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" events_per_page="10"]

To display the submissions list only to users with specific roles, it is possible to use the role attribute in the shortcode with one or multiple roles names separated by comma. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" role="administrator"]

For controlling the format of submissions' summaries it is possible to insert the shortcodes with a content, similar to:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1"]
<p><%fieldname1_label%>:<%fieldname1_value%></p>
<p>New Label: <%fieldname2_value%></p>
<p><%fieldname3%></p>
[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST]

The complete list of tags to include in the shortcode is avalialbe in the "SPECIAL TAGS IN THE NOTIFICATION EMAILS" section .

The if_paid attribute in the shortcode for the list of results will display only those submissions with payment status: paid

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" if_paid="1"]
Displaying the submissions list using datatable

To display the submissions list using datatable are required some specific attributes:

layout with the table value

table_head with the list of columns' labels, separated by comma symbols

table_fields with the list of forms' fields, separated by comma symbols

view_details accepts the values 1 or 0 to display or not an additional column with a button to option a popup with submission details

order_by_column_index allows sorting the table rows by a column. It accepts the column index (starting at zero). The order_by_column_index attribute can be combined with the order attribute. The order attribute accepts the values asc and desc for sorting the rows in ascending or descending order, respectively.

Ex.

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" layout="table" table_head="id, Column A, Column B, Column C" table_fields="itemnumber,fieldname1,fieldname2,fieldname3" view_details="1"]

The controls of datatable are in English by default, to translate the controls' texts to another language, create a .js file with an object as its content similar to the following one (of course, with the texts translated)


{
    "decimal":        "",
    "emptyTable":     "No data available in table",
    "info":           "Showing _START_ to _END_ of _TOTAL_ entries",
    "infoEmpty":      "Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries",
    "infoFiltered":   "(filtered from _MAX_ total entries)",
    "infoPostFix":    "",
    "thousands":      ",",
    "lengthMenu":     "Show _MENU_ entries",
    "loadingRecords": "Loading...",
    "processing":     "Processing...",
    "search":         "Search:",
    "zeroRecords":    "No matching records found",
    "paginate": {
        "first":      "First",
        "last":       "Last",
        "next":       "Next",
        "previous":   "Previous"
    },
    "aria": {
        "sortAscending":  ": activate to sort column ascending",
        "sortDescending": ": activate to sort column descending"
    }
}

And finally, pass the file's URL as the table_language_url attribute of [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST] shortcode

Ex.

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1" layout="table" table_head="id, Column A, Column B, Column C" table_fields="itemnumber,fieldname1,fieldname2,fieldname3" table_language_url="https://wwww.website.com/path/lang.js"]

Special tags in the notification emails and the thank you pages

Professional Version Developer Version Platinum Version

The special tags can be used with the notification emails (message and subject), the thank you pages, and from add ons like: Users Permissions add-on, WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, PrintFriendly, etc.

There are special tags that can be used in the notification emails to display the forms information:

<%INFO%>, the tag <%INFO%> is replaced by the labels and values of fields that are submitted from the form.

To insert only specific fields, use the format <%fieldname#%>, for example, if you want include the fieldname1 and fieldname3 in the notification email, use the tags <%fieldname1%>, and <%fieldname3%>, the tag will be replace by the pair: label-value of field.

To insert only the field's label, use the format <%fieldname#_label%>, for example <%fieldname1_label%>

To insert only the shortlabel (that is used too in the CSV files), use the format <%fieldname#_shortlabel%>, for example <%fieldname1_shortlabel%>

To insert only the field's value, use the format <%fieldname#_value%>, for example <%fieldname3_value%>

To display all previous tags only if the fields have been filled by the users, you should use the attribute if_not_empty in the tags:

<%INFO if_not_empty%>
<%fieldname# if_not_empty%>
<%fieldname#_label if_not_empty%>
<%fieldname#_value if_not_empty%>

There are other special attributes to use in the tags. The values of the attributes are closed between the symbols {{...}}:

before: The attribute allows to define a symbol, or a HTML tag, to display before the field in the notification email <%fieldname# before={{<strong>}} after={{</strong>}}%>

after: The attribute allows to define a symbol, or a HTML tag, to display after the field in the notification email <%fieldname# after={{<br />}}%>

These attributes give a big control over the information included in the notification emails. For example, inserting a tag like:

<p><%fieldname1 if_not_empty%></p>

Inserts in the notification email, the pair of tags: <p></p>, if the value of the "fieldname1" field is empty. But if you inserts the previous tag with the attributes: before and after, like follow:

<%fieldname1 if_not_empty before={{<p>}} after={{</p>}} %>

The pair of tags <p></p> won't be inserted in the notification email, if the value of the fieldname1 field is empty.

separator: Allows to define a separator symbol to insert between the field's label, and its value. For example, if you insert the tag like: <%fieldname1 separator={{:}}%>, it would be replaced by field label : field value

There are some special tags to define dependencies in the notification emails: <%fieldname#_block%><%fieldname#_endblock%>

For example, to insert the fields: fieldname2 and fieldname3 in the email, only if the fieldname1 field was submitted, should be inserted the following tags in the email:

<%fieldname1_block%>
<%fieldname2%>
<%fieldname3%>
<%fieldname1_endblock%>

and <%fieldname#_nonblock%><%fieldname#_endnonblock%>

For example, to insert the fields: fieldname2 and fieldname3 in the email, only if the fieldname1 field was not submitted or it was submitted in blank, should be inserted the following tags in the email:

<%fieldname1_nonblock%>
<%fieldname2%>
<%fieldname3%>
<%fieldname1_endnonblock%>

Other attributes to include with the fields tags and the blocks tags:

if_value_is_greater_than includes the field (or block) if the field's value is greater than this attribute. For example: <%fieldname1 if_value_is_greater_than={{10}}%> the fieldname1 field would be included only if its value is greater than 10 (useful in case of number fields)

if_value_is_greater_than_or_equal_to includes the field (or block) if the field's value is greater than or equal to this attribute. For example: <%fieldname1 if_value_is_greater_than_or_equal_to={{10}}%> the fieldname1 field would be included only if its value is greater than or equal to 10 (useful in case of number fields)

if_value_is_less_than includes the field (or block) if the field's value is less than this attribute. For example: <%fieldname1 if_value_is_less_than={{10}}%> the fieldname1 field would be included only if its value is less than 10 (useful in case of number fields)

if_value_is_less_than_or_equal_to includes the field (or block) if the field's value is less than or equal to this attribute. For example: <%fieldname1 if_value_is_less_than_or_equal_to={{10}}%> the fieldname1 field would be included only if its value is less than or equal to 10 (useful in case of number fields)

if_value_is includes the field (or block) if the field's value is equal to this attribute. For example: <%fieldname1 if_value_is={{10}}%> the fieldname1 field would be included only if its value is equal to 10

if_value_is_not includes the field (or block) if the field's value is different to this attribute. For example: <%fieldname1 if_value_is_not={{10}}%> the fieldname1 field would be included only if its value is not 10

if_value_like includes the field (or block) if the field's value is included into this attribute. For example: <%fieldname1 if_value_like={{qwer}}%> the fieldname1 field would be included with value like qwerty (case insensitive). Recommended with text fields.

if_value_unlike includes the field (or block) if the field's value is not included into this attribute. For example: <%fieldname1 if_value_like={{qwer}}%> the fieldname1 field would be included with values do not include qwer (case insensitive). Recommended with text fields.

Sanitizing (or escaping) the fields' labels and/or values before outputting them (applied only to the fields' tags, not to the blocks):

callback applies the callback function to the field (label, value or both) before replacing the tag. For example: <%fieldname1_value callback={{esc_js}}%>

The list of accepted callbacks:

  • esc_html
  • esc_url
  • esc_url_raw
  • esc_js
  • esc_attr
  • esc_textarea
  • sanitize_email
  • sanitize_file_name
  • sanitize_html_class
  • sanitize_key
  • sanitize_meta
  • sanitize_mime_type
  • sanitize_option
  • sanitize_sql_orderby
  • sanitize_text_field
  • sanitize_title
  • sanitize_title_for_query
  • sanitize_title_with_dashes
  • sanitize_user
  • wp_filter_post_kses
  • wp_filter_nohtml_kses

More information about the callback's functions, visiting in the following link: Data Sanitization/Escaping

To include the URL to the uploaded file, if the file field is the fieldname1, the tag to insert in the email and thank you page would be: <%fieldname1_url%>, but if the fieldname1 supports multiple files, the corresponding tag would be: <%fieldname1_urls%>. With these tags it is possible to define the in_tag attribute, whose possible values are: img and a, for using the URLs with the html tags for images or anchors, for example: <%fieldname1_urls in_tag={{img}}%>

For files' paths, if the file field is the fieldname1, the tag to insert in the email and thank you page would be: <%fieldname1_path%>, but if the fieldname1 supports multiple files, the corresponding tag would be: <%fieldname1_paths%>.

To display the final price, after apply the discount if was defined, use the tag <%final_price%>

To display the coupon/discount applied, if was applied a discount, uses the tag <%coupon%>

To display only the coupon code, the discount text, use the tag <%couponcode%>

To display the payment option selected, in case that PayPal has been set as optional, use the tag <%payment_option%>

To display if the payment has been completed or not, use the tag <%payment_status%>

In the recurrent payments to display the id of the subscription, use the tag <%subscription_id%>

If the form is integrated with PayPal, it is possible to include the PayPal transaction ID, using the tag <%transaction_id%>

To include an unique number that identifies the submitted data into the system, uses the tag <%itemnumber%>. This number allows to identify easier the PayPal transference, and could be used as an order reference. The <%itemnumber%> tag accepts the length attribute: <%itemnumber length={{6}}%>

To include the form's id, uses the tag <%formid%>. Allows to identify the form that was submitted.

To include the form's name, uses the tag <%form_name%>.

The <%form_title%> tag allows including the form's title.

The <%form_description%> tag allows including the form's description.

The tag <%from_page%> represents the URL of the page with the form.

The tag <%thank_you_page%> represents the URL of the thank you page.

To include the ip address of the user, <%ipaddress%>

To include the submission date in the format: mm/dd/yyyy, <%submissiondate_mmddyyyy%>

The tag support the separator parameter to select the symbol that separates the date components, <%submissiondate_mmddyyyy separator={{-}}%>

To include the submission date in the format: dd/mm/yyyy, <%submissiondate_ddmmyyyy%>

The tag support the separator parameter to select the symbol that separates the date components, <%submissiondate_ddmmyyyy separator={{-}}%>

To include the submission time in the format: hh:mm, <%submissiontime%>

To include the date in the format: mm/dd/yyyy, <%currentdate_mmddyyyy%>

The tag support the separator parameter to select the symbol that separates the date components, <%currentdate_mmddyyyy separator={{-}}%>

To include the date in the format: dd/mm/yyyy, <%currentdate_ddmmyyyy%>

The tag support the separator parameter to select the symbol that separates the date components, <%currentdate_ddmmyyyy separator={{-}}%>

To include the time in the format: hh:mm, <%currenttime%>

If there is active the PDF Generator add-on, it is possible to use the tag: <%pdf_generator_url%> that would be replaced with the URL to the PDF file.

If there is active the CSV Generator add-on, it is possible to use the tag: <%csv_generator_url%> that would be replaced with the URL to the CSV file.

Create JavaScript variables to be used in the equations

- From GET, or POST parameters, SESSION variables, or COOKIES

All Versions of the Plugin

Gutenberg block to create variables

JavaScript Variable

WordPress classic editor

JavaScript Variable

The icon with the "X" symbol, that appears when editing the contents of pages or posts, inserts a shortcode in the content with the structure:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name="..."]

The ... symbol should be replaced by the parameter or variable name. The variables are created as properties of the cff_var variable. For example, in the [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name="varname"] shortcode, you can access the variable value from the equations by using cff_var['varname'], or cff_var.varname

To restrict the source of variable, define the attribute "from" in the shortcode with any of following values: get, post, session, or cookie. For example, to create the javascript variable: varname, only if exist a session variable with the same name, insert the shortcode: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name="varname" from="session"]

The shortcode: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR] accepts two other attributes:

Definig default values

The "default_value" attribute allows to define the value used by default if there is not a parameter with the specified name, or session variable or cookie:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name="varname" default_value="mydefault"]

If there is not a parameter, or session variable, or cookie, with the name "varname", the plugin will create the javascript variable with the name: cff_var["varname"], and value: "mydefault".

Create direct variables

The attribute: "value", allows to create a javascript variable with the name defined as attribute, and the value in the attribute: "value".

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_VAR name="varname" value="myvalue"]

After insert the shortcode to create the javascript variable, a valid equation would be: fieldname1*cff_var.varname

Create a direct variable through the Forms Shortcode

There is another way to create variables to be used in the equations, directly from the form's shortcode. All attributes in the shortcode, except the "id" that identifies the form, are converted in javascript properties of cff_var variables with global scope. The properties names correspond to the attributes' name, and their values, the attributes' values:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" varname="varvalue"]

It is possible create multiple variables, defining multiple attributes.

The variables created through the form's shortcode have a particularity, for each global variable will be created another one with the structure: <variable name>_arr, for example: if the shortcode is:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" varname="varvalue"]

The plugin will create the varaible, cff_var['varname'] (another valid notation would be cff_var.varname) value varvalue, and the varname_arr variable, whose value is a hash with the varvalue as one of their items.

How to access to the value of the varname_arr?

Simply should be called the varname_arr variable, using as the index, the form_identifier constant: fieldname1*varname_arr[ form_identifier]

Pay attention to this way to access to the variables generated through the form shortcode. If there are multiple shortcodes inserted in the same page, and all of them define a same variable, accessing to the variable name through the scheme: <variable name>_arr[ form_identifier], each form will have its own value for the variable, because the cff_var['variable name'] will have only the latest value.

Add-Ons

The list of add-ons available in the plugin, appear in the "Add-ons area" of settings page of the plugin. For enabling the add-ons, simply should tick the corresponding checkboxes, and press the "Activate/Deactivate Addons" button.

Add-ons

Server Side Equations add-on

Developer Version Platinum Version

The Server Side Equations add-on allows to define equations in the server side to protect the business logic, and call them with AJAX from the public form.

The server side equations are defined from the settings page of the plugin, through the "Server Side Equations section".

The server side equations are shared by all forms in the website, reducing the development time.

Server Side Equations

Server Side Equations Structure

The server side equations are implemented with PHP programming language. The equations should be entered below the line of comment: INCLUDE YOUR CODE FROM HERE.

The equations should be defined into the GLOBAL array: "SERVER_SIDE_EQUATIONS", where the items' indexes are the names of the equations, and the items values are functions definitions with the code of the equations.

For example, assuming you want to implement an equation that calculate the square root of a number, a possible equation would be:

$GLOBALS['SERVER_SIDE_EQUATIONS']['square_root_equation'] = function($number){return sqrt($number);};
The file with the equations can be edited directly with the text editor of your choice. The files with the equations are located in the "/wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-form/addons/serverside.addon/" directory, and their names have the structure: server-side-equations_#.php

Pay attention: The plugin includes a mechanism to prevent overwrites the "server-side-equations_#.php" file in the update process. However, I recommend to copy the file into the "/wp-content/uploads/calculated-fields-form" directory, and the plugin would use this copy of the file instead.

The server-side equation must always return a result.
How the equations are called?

The add-on includes a new operations module with the operation: SERVER_SIDE for calling the server side equations using AJAX.

SERVER_SIDE operation

The "SERVER_SIDE" operation requires at least one parameter, the name of the server side equation (following with the previous example, the first parameter would be: 'square_root_equation') and the other parameters would be the parameters required by the server side equation.

SERVER_SIDE('square_root_equations',4)

the result would be 2

To get the square root of a field in the form, for example, the fieldname1, the equation would be:

SERVER_SIDE('square_root_equations',fieldname1)
Calculating the final price with a server side equation

The Server Side Equations add-on includes a new section in the form's settings to allow calculate the final price through a server side equation, after the form be submitted.

Form Settings

To calculated the final price with a server side equation:

Tick the checkbox: "Evaluate the final cost with a server side equation, once the form be submitted"

Enter the server side equation call with the format: equation_name(fieldname1, fieldname2, fieldname3)

Users Permissions add-on

Developer Version Platinum Version

The new add-on: "Users Permissions", allows restrict the access to the forms, and associate the submitted information to the submitter.

The options to restrict the access to the form are: Only for registered users, for registered users with specific roles, or allow the access to the form only to specific users.

With the "Users Permissions" add-on it is possible restrict the number of submissions to only one by user.

The add-on includes a new shortcode: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST], to display the list of submissions belonging to an user. If the shortcode is inserted without attributes, the list of submissions will include those entries associated to the logged user. This shortcode accepts the attributes: id, for the user's id, and login, for the username (the id attribute has precedence over the login), in whose case the addon will list the submissions of the user selected, furthermore it is possible restrict the list to a specific form using the attribute: formid="#", where # should be replaced by the form's id. Additionally, it is possible to decide the number of items per page (10 by default), defining the "events_per_page" attribute through the shortcode, ex: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST events_per_page="20"]

Submissions List

Pay attention: If the page with the shortcode is visited by an user with administrator role, then he/she will have access to the other users' submissions and will have permission to edit or delete them.

Other attributes supported by the [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST] shortcode:

  • from: a text with date format (yyyy-mm-dd) to display the list of submissions from a specific date. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST from="2018-04-09"]

    The from attribute accepts relative dates, like from="+3weeks -1day", from="-1year", etc.

  • to: a text with date format (yyyy-mm-dd) to display the list of submissions until a specific date. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST to="2018-04-09"]

    The to attribute accepts relative dates, like to="+2months +15days", to="-1week", etc.

  • order: used for ordering the submissions in ascending or descending order. The accepted values are: ASC and DESC. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST from="2018-01-01" to="2018-04-09" order="DESC"]
  • limit: used to display a specific number of submissions. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST limit="10"]
  • no_filter: hides the filtering options at the top of the submission table for non-administrator users. [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_USER_SUBMISSIONS_LIST no_filter="1"]

Equations Format for Calculated Fields

The equations allowed by the plugin "Calculated Fields Form" are really powerful tools.

From the following versions of the plugin:
  • 1.0.139 Free
  • 5.0.153 Pro
  • 5.0.180 Developer
  • 10.0.196 Platinum

It is possible to use the __ME__ constant in the equations for referring to the value of the calculated field that is being calculated. For example, if the calculated field is editable, and you want get the maximum number among the value typed by the user in the field, and the sum of other two fields in the form: fieldname1+fieldname2, the equation would be as simple as: MAX(fieldname1+fieldname2,__ME__).
In previous versions of the plugin was needed to implement some tricks for accessing the value of the calculated field from its equation.

Access to the fields from the equations is as simple as including their names, like, fieldname1+fieldname2

The plugin takes the values of the fields and pre-processes them to extract the numbers to use in the mathematical operations. However, sometimes it is necessary to get the fields' values without pre-processing. In these cases, you should use the "|r" modifier (for raw) as part of the field's name,
Ex. fieldname1|r

For dropdown, radio buttons, and checkbox fields, where it is possible to select the information to submit between the choices' values and texts, the use of the "|v" modifier allows you to access the information to submit from the equations.
Ex. fieldname1|v

And finally the "|n" modifier. Each time a field's name appears in an equation, the plugin replaces it by the corresponding field's value in the evaluation process. However, sometimes with need to use the fields' names and not their values. In these cases, the use of the "|n" modifier is essential because it says the plugin you want to use the fields' names.
Ex. getField(fieldname1|n).choices({texts:['A', 'B'], values:[1,2]});

If fieldname1 is a date field, and its value is 3/11/2013: cdate(fieldname1+10) would be 13/11/2013

Sample valid equations:

To calculate the monthly payment in a lease calculator:

The fields implied are:

Load amount: fieldname1

Residual value: fieldname2

Interest rate %: fieldname3

Number of months: fieldname4

The corresponding equation for monthly payment is:

prec((fieldname1*fieldname3/1200*pow(1+fieldname3/1200,fieldname4)-fieldname2*fieldname3/1200)/(pow(1+fieldname3/1200,fieldname8)-1),2)

There is a huge number of equations that can't be recreated with simple mathematical operators, or the operations listed above.

Pay attention to the following sample:

In your form there are four fields: fieldname1, fieldname2, fieldname3 and the calculated field: fieldname4, but the value of fieldname4 is dependent of fieldname3 value, that is:

The value of fieldname4 will be: fieldname1+fieldname2, if the value of fieldname3 is greater than 100, or will be: fieldname1*fieldname2, if the value of fieldname3 is less than or equal to 100. Neither of previous operations, by itself, can calculate the value of fieldname4.

To solve complex cases like this, the "Calculated Fields Form" plugin allows entering javascript code directly in the equation editor, like the following sample:

(function(){

if(fieldname3 > 100) return fieldname1+fieldname2;

if(fieldname3 <= 100) return fieldname1*fieldname2;

})();

For complex equations where is required to define blocks of javascript code, you must use the following format:

(function(){

//Your code here

})();

and the return the value of that function will be the value assigned to the calculated field:

return fieldname1+fieldname2;

Pay attention, the plugin removes the changes of lines from the equations at runtime. So, if the equation is defined with the "function" format:

(function(){

//Your code here

})();

It is really important to include the semicolon symbols (;) at the end of the code lines, furthermore, if the equation is really complex, and you want to include comments for future references, should be used the format for multiple lines comments: /* comment here */, but never the format for single line of comments: // comment here

Logical Module

All Versions of the Plugin

The logical module includes the following operations:

IF(condition, value if true, value if false)

Checks whether a condition is met, and returns one value if true, and another if false.IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)

If the value of fieldname1 is 10 and the value of fieldname2 is 20, the result of:

IF(fieldname1 < fieldname2, fieldname1, fieldname2)
would be 10

AND(x,y,z,....)

Checks whether all arguments are true, and return true if all values are true, and false in another way. AND(logical1,logical2,...)

Suppose there are three fields, fieldname1, fieldname2 and fieldname3, with values: 10, 20 and 30 respectively, so:

AND( fieldname1<100, fieldname2<100, fieldname3<100)
would be true

but

AND( fieldname1<100, fieldname2<100, fieldname3<25)
is false, because the fieldname3 is bigger than 25

OR(x,y,z,....)

Checks whether any of arguments is true, and return true if any of values is true, and false if all values are false. OR(logical1,logical2,...)

Suppose there are three fields, fieldname1, fieldname2 and fieldname3, with values: 10, 20 and 30 respectively, so:

OR( fieldname1<100, fieldname2<100, fieldname3<25)
is true, because at least the two initial conditions are true, inclusive if the third condition fails.

but

OR( fieldname1<5, fieldname2<5, fieldname3<25)
is false, because the three conditions fail

NOT(x)

Changes false to true, or true to false.NOT(logical)

NOT(true)
return false

NOT(false)
return true

IN(x,[x,y,z,....])

Checks whether the term is included in the second argument, the second argument may be a string or strings array. IN(term, string/array)

IN(10,[10,20,30,40])
Return true

IN('world', 'hello world')
Return true

[
{
principle: 24634.725
interest: 109.375
payment: 474.65

date: Tue Dec 20 2011 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Romance Daylight Time)
},
{
principle: 24267.851921874997
interest: 217.151921875
payment: 474.65
paymentToPrinciple: 366.873078125
paymentToInterest: 107.776921875
date: Fri Jan 20 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Romance Daylight Time)
},
...
]

The CALCULATEAMORTIZATION is the operation with most complexity in the "Calculated Fields Form" and requires its own section.

The CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation returns a list of objects. For example:

CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(25000, 60, 5.25, new Date(2011,11,20) )
Result: [ { principle: 24634.725 interest: 109.375 payment: 474.65 paymentToPrinciple: 365.275 paymentToInterest: 109.375 date: Tue Dec 20 2011 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Romance Daylight Time) }, { principle: 24267.851921874997 interest: 217.151921875 payment: 474.65 paymentToPrinciple: 366.873078125 paymentToInterest: 107.776921875 date: Fri Jan 20 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Romance Daylight Time) }, ... ]
  • principle: how much remains to pay.
  • interest: is the accumulated of interest paid until this date.
  • payment: is the monthly payment (payment of interests and payment of principle).
  • paymentToPrinciple: is the part of payment that is considered as payment of principle.
  • paymentToInterest: is the part of payment that is considered as payment of interest.
  • date: is the date of payment.

In the following example, we explain the use of the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation: the fieldname1 represents the principle amount, fieldname3 the number of months, and the fieldname2 the interest rate.

So, the value returned by CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(fieldname1,fieldname3,fieldname2) cannot by assigned directly to the calculated field, or will be displayed a text like: [object],[object],...... Therefore, we'll need to create a formatted string, with HTML tags, to display the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION results in an understandable format.

(function(){
var r = CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(fieldname1,fieldname3,fieldname2),
str = '';

if(r.length)
{
str = '<table cellpadding=" 10" >';
str += '<tr>';
str += '<td>Date</td>';
str += '<td>Interest</td>';
str += '<td>Payment</td>';
str += '<td>Payment to Interest</td>';
str += '<td>Payment to Principle</td>';
str += '<td>Principle</td>';
str += '</tr>';
for(var i = 0, h = r.length; i < h; i++)
{
str += '<tr>';
str += '<td>'+GETDATETIMESTRING( new Date(r[i]['date']), 'yyyy-mm-dd')+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['interest'],2)+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['payment'],2)+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['paymentToInterest'],2)+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['paymentToPrinciple'],2)+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['principle'],2)+'</td>';
str += '</tr>';
}
str += '</table>';
}
jQuery('.result-here').html( str );
})()

The first step will be store the list of objects returned by the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation, in a local variable, and create another variable to store the amortization data, but with an HTML format:

var r = CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(fieldname1,fieldname3,fieldname2),
str = '';

The equation validates if the previous operation returns a value, because if the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION was called with wrong values can return an empty array:

if(r.length)
{
...
}

I've decided display the results of CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation in a tabular format because is easier to understand. The first element in the result is the tag to open the table: <table>, and the row with the column names:

str = '<table cellpadding=" 10" >';
str += '<tr>';
str += '<td>Date</td>';
str += '<td>Interest</td>';
str += '<td>Payment</td>';
str += '<td>Payment to Interest</td>';
str += '<td>Payment to Principle</td>';
str += '<td>Principle</td>';
str += '</tr>';

Now, it is the moment to create each row of the table with the values of monthly amortization.

for(var i = 0, h = r.length; i < h; i++)
{
    str += '<tr>';
    str += '<td>'+GETDATETIMESTRING( new Date(r[i]['date']), 'yyyy-mm-dd')+'</td>';
    str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['interest'],2)+'</td>';
    str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['payment'],2)+'</td>';
    str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['paymentToInterest'],2)+'</td>';
    str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['paymentToPrinciple'],2)+'</td>';
    str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['principle'],2)+'</td>';
    str += '</tr>';
}

The previous code has its particularities. By default the dates returned by the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION operation have the complete format including hours and seconds, In this form the information about hours and seconds is not relevant, so, it is preferred to use a short date format: yyyy-mm-dd. The date string will be formatted with the GETDATETIMESTRING operation, included in the Date module of developers version of the plugin (the second parameter is the format to use):

str += '<td>'+GETDATETIMESTRING( new Date(r[i]['date']), 'yyyy-mm-dd')+'</td>';

Another particularity is the use of the PREC operation. By default the CALCULATEAMORTIZATION returns the numeric values with all its decimals digits, for example: 366.873078125, but for humans it is common to identify the money representation with two decimal digits. So, I've used the PREC operation with the number 2 as the second parameter.

str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['interest'],2)+'</td>';

After creating all table rows, it is time to close the table, and print the results:

str += '</table>';

If you display the result directly in the calculated field, you will see a weird text (or very hard to understand) because the input fields in HTML are not able to display tables, in this case I've preferred to show the result in an "HTML Content" field. I've inserted an "HTML Content" field in the form, and entered a DIV tag as its content with the class name: result-here <div class="result-here"></div>. Then, using jQuery to display the table with the results into the DIV tag:

jQuery('.result-here').html( str );

The complete equation is:

(function(){
var r = CALCULATEAMORTIZATION(fieldname1,fieldname3,fieldname2),
str = '';

if(r.length)
{
str = '<table cellpadding=" 10" >';
str += '<tr>';
str += '<td>Date</td>';
str += '<td>Interest</td>';
str += '<td>Payment</td>';
str += '<td>Payment to Interest</td>';
str += '<td>Payment to Principle</td>';
str += '<td>Principle</td>';
str += '</tr>';
for(var i = 0, h = r.length; i < h; i++)
{
str += '<tr>';
str += '<td>'+GETDATETIMESTRING( new Date(r[i]['date']), 'yyyy-mm-dd')+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['interest'],2)+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['payment'],2)+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['paymentToInterest'],2)+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['paymentToPrinciple'],2)+'</td>';
str += '<td>'+PREC(r[i]['principle'],2)+'</td>';
str += '</tr>';
}
str += '</table>';
}
jQuery('.result-here').html( str );
})()

PRESENTVALUE(x,y,z)

Obtains the difference in days between two dates ignoring weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and holidays.

NETWORKDAYS(date_one, date_two, date_format, holidays, holidays_format)

If holidays format is ignored, the plugin uses date_format.

NETWORKDAYS("10/1/2012", "3/1/2013", "mm/dd/yyyy")
Result: 110

NETWORKDAYS("10/1/2012", "3/1/2013", "mm/dd/yyyy", ["12/24/2012", "12/31/2012"], "mm/dd/yyyy")
Result: 108

DATEDIFF(date_one, date_two, date_format, return)

Gets the difference between two dates strings representation

DATEDIFF(date_one, date_two, date_format, return)

The function returns an object, whose value depends on the 'return' argument

Possible values of return argument:
d - returns the number of days between two dates
m - returns the number of months between two dates, and remaining days
y - returns the number of years between two dates, remaining months, and remaining days

DATEDIFF('2013-10-27', '2012-06-22', 'yyyy-mm-dd', 'y')['months']
Result: 4

Since the third parameter tells the plugin the starting point for calculating the date difference, the resulting object for the operation:

DATEDIFF('2013-10-27', '2012-06-22', 'yyyy-mm-dd', 'y')

It would be:

{
"years": 1,
"months": 4,
"days": 5,
"hours": 0,
"minutes": 0,
"seconds": 0
}

One year, four months, and five days more.

However, the resulting object for the operation:

DATEDIFF('2013-10-27', '2012-06-22', 'yyyy-mm-dd', 'm')

It would be:

{
"years": -1,
"months": 16,
"days": 5,
"hours": 0,
"minutes": 0,
"seconds": 0
}

In this case, the value of the "years" property is -1 because the operation tells the plugin to use "months" as the starting point to calculate the difference. So, instead of 1 year and four months, the resulting object indicates the difference is sixteen months and five days.

Similarly, the resulting object for the third example:

DATEDIFF('2013-10-27', '2012-06-22', 'yyyy-mm-dd', 'd')

It would be:

{
"years": -1,
"months": -1,
"days": 492,
"hours": 0,
"minutes": 0,
"seconds": 0
}

DATETIMESUM(date_string, format, number, to_increase, ignore_weekends <optional>)

Increases the date-time string representation in the number of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years, passed as parameter.

ignore_weekends is an optional parameter that applys only on days increment. It ignores the Saturdays and Sundays in the sum.

DATETIMESUM( date_string, format, number, to_increase )

DATETIMESUM('2013-10-27', 'yyyy-mm-dd', 6, 'd')

Result: The date object representation of 2013/11/01, Saturday.

DATETIMESUM('2013-10-27', 'yyyy-mm-dd', 6, 'd', true)

Result: The date object representation of 2013/11/04, Monday.

GETDATETIMESTRING(datetime_object, format)

Returns the string representation of a date object

GETDATETIMESTRING(TODAY(), 'yyyy-mm-dd')
Result: 2013-10-27

DECIMALTOTIME( decimal, format, time format )

Converts a decimal number to a time format text. The operation requires three parameters, the decimal number, character indicating the decimal representation ("y" for years, "m" for months, "d" for days, "h" for hours, "i" for minutes, and "s" for seconds), text for time format ("h:i:s").

DECIMALTOTIME(938405,"s","d days, h hours, i minutes, and s seconds")
Result: 10 days, 20 hours, 40 minutes, and 5 seconds

TIMETODECIMAL( time text, time format, output format )

Converts a time text to a decimal number. The operation requires three parameters, the text with time representation, the time format representation ("h:i:d"), character with the output format ("y" for years, "m" for months, "d" for days, "h" for hours, "i" for minutes, and "s" for seconds).

TIMETODECIMAL("20:40:5","h:i:s","s")
Result: 74405

MANAGING FIELDS MODULE

All Versions of the Plugin

The managing fields module allows to process the fields objects:

getField( # or fieldname# )

Returns the internal representation of a field object.

The getField operation can be used only in the context of the equations.

For example, if there is the slider field: fieldname1, to assing it a value, for example:50, enter as part of the equation associated to the calculated field the piece of code:

getField(1).setVal(50);

If you want pass the field's name with the format: fieldname#, the correct would be use:

getField('fieldname'+'1').setVal(50);

Or in the equation's context: getField(fieldname1|n).setVal(50);

The getField operation is more important than it appears at first glance. It allows to use in the equations fields that belong to other forms inserted in the same page.

For example, assuming you have inserted the form with id=1 in the page and assigned it a unique class name:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1" class="form-a"]

Now, you want to insert a second form on the page containing with a calculated field, in whose equation you want to use the value of the field field fieldname123 of the first form, for example to duplicate its value.

For this hypothetical case, the equation of the calculated field of the second form can be implemented as follows:

getField(fieldname123|n, '.form-a').val()*2

CFFSANITIZE( value, script only )

Sanitize a value. Allows to espace every HTML tag in the value, or sanitize the script tags and events only.

CFFSANITIZE(fieldname1);
CFFSANITIZE(fieldname1, true);

ELEMENTINFO( selector, info )

Get element information. It returns the value, text, or HTML of the element. The selector parameter is any valid dom selector, like "h1.post-title", and the info parameter is any of the values "text", "html", or "value"

Ex.

ELEMENTINFO("h1.post-title", "text");

If the selector does not exist, the operation returns null.

ISIGNORED( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )

Return true if the fields is ignored. The second parameter is optional.

ISIGNORED(1);

ISIGNORED('fieldname1|n');

ISIGNORED('fieldname'+'1');

IGNOREFIELD( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )

Set the field in the ignore state. Its value in the equations would be zero, furthermore, it would be excluded from the form's submission. The second parameter is optional.

IGNOREFIELD(1);

IGNOREFIELD('fieldname1|n');

IGNOREFIELD('fieldname'+'1');

ACTIVATEFIELD( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )

Activates a field that was ignored previously. The second parameter is optional.

ACTIVATEFIELD(1);

ACTIVATEFIELD('fieldname1|n');

ACTIVATEFIELD('fieldname'+'1');

HIDEFIELD( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )

Hide a field explicitly. Unlike IGNOREFIELD, this operation hides the field but does not deactivate it. The hidden fields participate in the equations and are submitted to the server. The second parameter is optional.

HIDEFIELD(1);

HIDEFIELD('fieldname1|n');

HIDEFIELD('fieldname'+'1');

SHOWFIELD( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )

Show a field explicitly. If the field was hidden by a dependency or by the IGNOREFIELD operation, it must be displayed by the ACTIVATEFIELD operation. The second parameter is optional.

SHOWFIELD(1);

SHOWFIELD('fieldname1|n');

SHOWFIELD('fieldname'+'1');

VALIDFORM( form object or selector, silent )

Checks if the values of the form fields are valid or not. The first parameter would be a form object or a selector with the reference to the form. If this is null, or not passed to the operation, the plugin validates the first form on the page. The second parameter is a boolean (true or false), and allows us to validate the form without displaying error messages.

VALIDFORM();

VALIDFORM("cp_calculatedfieldsf_pform_1", true);

VALIDFIELD( field name or number, form object or selector, silent )

Checks if the field value is valid or not. The first parameter is required. It is the name of the field to validate (Ex. fieldname123|n) or its numeric components (Ex. 123). The second parameter would be a form object or a selector with the reference to the form. If this is null, or not passed to the operation, the plugin validates the field in the first form on the page. The third parameter is a boolean (true or false), and allows us to validate the field without displaying error messages.

VALIDFIELD(fieldname1|n);

VALIDFIELD(fieldname1|n, "cp_calculatedfieldsf_pform_1", true);

ENABLEEQUATIONS(form)

Ex. GOTOPAGE(2, this.form);

COPYFIELDVALUE( # or fieldname#, form object or form id or consecutive form number )

Copies the field value to the clipboard. Supports input and textarea tags.

The first parameter is required, it would be the numeric part of the field name or the field name.
The second parameter would be a form object, or a selector with the form reference. If the second parameter is not passed, the plugin will copy the value of the field in the first form of the page.

Ex. COPYFIELDVALUE(1); - or - COPYFIELDVALUE("fieldname1");

PRINTFORM( true or false )

Print the form area.

The parameter is optional. In multipage forms, the true parameter makes all pages available for printing.

Ex. PRINTFORM(); - or - PRINTFORM(true);

RESETFORM( form )

Resets the form.

Resets the form to the original fields values. Accepts an optional parameter: form object, jQuery object or selector. If the parameter is omitted, it resets all forms on the page.

The first parameter is required, it is a text with the equation's name, for example: 'square_root_equation'.

The rest of parameters in the operation are passed as parameters of the server side equation.

SERVER_SIDE( 'square_root_equation', 4) is equal to 2

CHART.JS MODULE

Developer Version Platinum Version

The Chart.js module allwos to includes charts generated with the Chart.js API in the forms (Distributed with the Developer or Platinum versions of the plugin):

CFFCHART(canvas tag id, object with the data and options, field object)

It is a proxy for the Chart method in the Chart.js API. The functions accepts the same parameters in the Chart function.

The first parameter is the id of the canvas tag where the chart would be generated.

The second parameter is a plain object with the labes, datasets, and options, required by Chart.js. Click here for the API Documentation.

The third parameter (optional) is the object representation of the field to be populated with the chart image encoded as base64.

CFFCHART('canvas_id', {type:'bar', data:{labels:['Label A', 'Label B'], datasets:[{data:[fieldname1, fieldname2]}]}})

CFFCHART('canvas_id', {type:'bar', data:{labels:['Label A', 'Label B'], datasets:[{data:[fieldname1, fieldname2]}]}}, getField(fieldname4|n))

Note: The second parameter accepts the version attribute to decide the ChartJS API version to use. Ex:
CFFCHART('canvas_id', {version:'3.7.1', type:'bar', data:{labels:['Label A', 'Label B'], datasets:[{data:[fieldname1, fieldname2]}]}});

It is possible to register ChartJS plugins by passing an objects list with the plugins' URLs and a callback function to call after loading the plugin:

CFFCHART("my-chart", {
    type: "bar",
    data: {
        labels: ["Foo", "Bar"],
        datasets: [{
                label: "bad",
                data: [5, 25],
                backgroundColor: "rgba(244, 143, 177, 0.6)"
            }, {
                label: "better",
                data: [15, 10],
                backgroundColor: "rgba(255, 235, 59, 0.6)"
            }, {
                label: "good",
                data: [10, 8],
                backgroundColor: "rgba(100, 181, 246, 0.6)"
            },
        ],
    },
    options: {
        indexAxis: "y",
        plugins: {
            stacked100: {
                enable: true
            },
            "datalabels" : false
        },
    },
    register_plugins:[
        {
            "url":"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chartjs-plugin-stacked100@1.0.0",
            "callback":function(){Chart.register(ChartjsPluginStacked100.default);}
        }
    ]
});

The process would be as follows:
* Insert a "HTML Content" field in the form with the canvas tag as its content:
<canvas id="canvas_id"></canvas>
* Uses the CFFCHART operation as part of the equation:
('canvas_id', {type:'bar', labels:['Label A', 'Label B'], datasets:[{data:[fieldname1, fieldname2]}]})

Tips and Tricks

Set the value to a slider control programmatically
  1. Assign a class name to the slider field, for example: my-field (the class names are assigned to the fields through the attribute: "Add Css Layout Keywords")
  2. Insert a "HTML Content" field in the form with the piece of code below as its content:
    <SCRIPT>
    function setSliderValue( clss, value )
    {
    var id = fbuilderjQuery('.'+clss+' input').attr( 'id' );
    var fId = id.match(/_\d+$/);
    fbuilderjQuery.fbuilder.forms[fId].getItem(id).setVal(value);
    }
    </SCRIPT>
    
  3. Finally, if the equation associated to the calculated field is for example: fieldname1+fieldname2, modify it as follows:
    (function(){
    var v = fieldname1+fieldname2;
    setSliderValue('my-field', v);
    return v;
    })()
    

(*) With the "Managing Fields" operations module the process is very simple, assuming the slider field is the fieldname1 and you want assign it the value: 50, include as part of the equation the piece of code:

getField(1).setVal(50);
Create relationships between date fields

Assuming there are two date fields: fieldname1, and fieldname2

  • To configure as min date of fieldname2 the date selected in fieldname1, enter fieldname1 in its "min" attribute:

    Min Date
  • To configure as max date of fieldname2 the date selected in fieldname1, enter fieldname1 in its "max" attribute:

    Max Date
  • For selecting in the fieldname2 field the fieldname1 date plus "X" days (in the code below, 3 days after):

    Insert a "Calculated Field" in the form to use as an auxiliary, and enter the equation:

    getField(fieldname2|n).setVal(CDATE(fieldname1+3, 'mm/dd/yyyy'));
    
Create new validation rules

In some situations is required that the fields values have a specif format, or maybe allow to enter only a list of values. In these cases the current validation rules (digits, numbers, max value, min value, text length, required) are not sufficient, and would be needed new rules. This section describes how to create a new validation rule, and assing it to a field.

Assuming you need restricts the values of the fieldname1 field as US Zipcode, with the formats: #####-#### or #########, the regular expression used to validate the field's value is: /^\d{5}([\-]?\d{4})?$/

Insert a "HTML Content" field in the form, with the piece of code below as its content:

<SCRIPT>
fbuilderjQuery(document).one('showHideDepEvent', function(){
	fbuilderjQuery
	.validator
	.addMethod(
		"zipcode",
		function(v,e)
		{
			return this.optional(e) || /^\d{5}([\-]?\d{4})?$/.test(v);
		}
	);
	fbuilderjQuery.validator.messages['zipcode'] = 'The  zipcode is invalid';
	fbuilderjQuery('[id*="fieldname1_"]').addClass('zipcode');
});
</SCRIPT>

The previous code adds a new method to the "validator" object, applied to all input fields with the class name "zipcode", the method returns true if the input field is optional, or its value satisfies the format of an US zipcode. With the instruction: fbuilderjQuery.validator.messages['zipcode'] = 'The zipcode is invalid'; is defined the error message to display when the validation rule fails. The last instruction assign the class name: zipcode to the fieldname1 field, to apply on it the new validation rule.

Storing Data in a Different Database

The Developers version of the "Calculated Fields Form" plugin, allows storing the data submitted in a database different to the own plugin database.

To use this feature are required some basic skills, because should be edited the "cp_calculatedfieldsf_insert_in_database.php" file included in the code of plugin.

This file is a mockup to integrate the plugin with other MySQL database. The file should be modified manually because each database has its own structure, and gives to the users a total control on the process.

The file's edition:

Open the file with the text editor your choice. There are some text editors, widely recommended for code editing, like: Notepad++, Sublime Text, Vim, Atom, UEditor.

The first section of file allows defining the constants needed for connecting with the database, and its authentication:

define( 'DATABASE_HOST', '' );
define( 'DATABASE_USER', '' );
define( 'DATABASE_PASS', '' );
define( 'DATABASE_NAME', '' );
define( 'DATABASE_TABLE', '' );

The name of constants are auto-descriptives:

  • DATABASE_HOST: hosname or IP of database server.
  • DATABASE_USER: username for database's authentication.
  • DATABASE_PASS: password for database's authentication.
  • DATABASE_NAME: database name.
  • DATABASE_TABLE: table name.

The plugin checks if the constants have been defined, before for running the insertion queries.

The second section to be edited by the developers, is the creation of the variables to use in the queries. The file includes some variables as a guide of section:

$field1 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname%' ] );
$field2 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname%' ] );
$field3 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname%' ] );

I'll explain this section with an example. Suppose you want store in the "my_users" table, the firstname, lastname, and email of the user, submitted through the form, and the corresponding fields in the form for these information are: fieldname1, fieldname2, and fieldname3, respectively. So, the variables are created like follow:

$field1 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname1' ] );
$field2 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname2' ] );
$field3 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname3' ] );

In the previous code has been created a varaible for each field in the form. All fields are included in the $params array.

After create the variables, is time to generate the insertion queries. The plugin includes a mockup for a hypotetical insertion query, that must be replaced with the structure of your database and the fields created previously.

mysqli_query( $db_link, "INSERT INTO `".DATABASE_TABLE."` (field1, field2, field3) VALUES ('$field1', '$field2', '$field3');" );

Returning to the previous example. If the columns of the table are: firstname, lastname, and email, respectively, the query should be modified like follow:

mysqli_query( $db_link, "INSERT INTO `".DATABASE_TABLE."` (firstname, lastname, email) VALUES ('$field1', '$field2', '$field3');" );

Pay attention, if the type of data in a column of table is a numeric value, should be removed the quotes around the variable name. For example, suppose the form includes a DropDown field for the year of birth, that evidently is a numeric value, I will assume this is the fieldname4. So, you should create a new variable for the new field:

$field4 = mysqli_escape_string( $db_link, $params[ 'fieldname4' ] );

and modify the insertion query too:

mysqli_query( $db_link, "INSERT INTO `".DATABASE_TABLE."` (firstname, lastname, email, year) VALUES ('$field1', '$field2', '$field3',$field4);" );

The $field4 variable is not closed between quotes.

A last tip: It is possible create as many insertion queries as needed, even can use the table name directly without use the constant defined in the first section.

Pay attention: The plugin includes a mechanism to prevent overwrites the "cp_calculatedfieldsf_insert_in_database.php" file in the update process. However, I recommend to copy the file into the "/wp-content/uploads/calculated-fields-form" directory, and the plugin would use this copy of the file instead.

A simpler alternative would be to use the "Database Queries for Calculated Fields Form" plugin.

Populate a Form by Default

The plugin adds a consecutive number to each form inserted in a webpage to prevent conflicts between different copies of a same form, starting in "1". The process will be explained in an example. I will suppose your form includes only one form created with the "Caculated Fields Form", and the form includes three fields: - a numeric field (fieldname1), a DropDown field (fieldname2), a checkbox field (fieldname3), and a single text field (fieldname4). Furthermore, the form fields should be prefilled with the values: 3 for the fieldname1, the choice with the value 4 in the fieldname2, tick the choices with the values: 1, and 2 for the fieldname3, and the "qwerty" text in the fieldname4, follows the steps below:

  1. Enable the text tab in the content's editor of your webpage. If are inserted HTML tags with the "Visual" tab enabled, the symbols "<" and ">" are encoded as "&lt;" and "&gt" respectively.
  2. Inserts a pair of <SCRIPT>...</SCRIPT>, with the piece of code:
    <SCRIPT>
    cpcff_default = { 1 : {} };
    cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname1' ] = 3;
    cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname2' ] = 4;
    cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname3' ] = [1,2];
    cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname4' ] = "qwerty";
    </SCRIPT>
    

Pay attention to the values of the fieldname3 and fieldname4. The fieldname3 is a checkbox, as it is possible select multiple choices, should be assigned an array of values. For the fieldname4, whose value is a text, it should be closed with quotes or double quotes.

Populate the form B with the data submitted by the form A

The process will be explained with an example. Assuming will be populated the fields: fieldname3, and fieldname7 in the form B with the values of the fields: fieldname1, and fieldname2 submitted by the form A:

Note: I'm assuming here the form B is the unique form inserted in the thank you page, or at least the first one. For this reason in the next code the index or attribute in the cpcff_default variable is 1 (cpcff_default = { 1 : {} };)

  1. Inserts the shortcode corresponding to the form B in the thank you page associated to the form A. For example if the id of the form B is 34, the shortcode would be: [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="34"]
  2. Inserts into the same page, the shortcode to manage the submitted data, including the javascript tags with the code to populate the form B:
    [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]
    <PRE style="display:none;"><SCRIPT>
    cpcff_default = { 1 : {} };
    cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname3' ] = '<%fieldname1_value%>';
    cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname7' ] = '<%fieldname2_value%>';
    </SCRIPT></PRE>
    [/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]
    

A particular case: If there are two forms in the thank you page, and you want populate the fields: fieldname3, and fieldname7 of the first form in the page, and the fields: fieldname2, and fieldname3 in the second form, the piece of code to use would be:

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]
<SCRIPT>
cpcff_default = { 1 : {},2 : {} };
cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname3' ] = '<%fieldname1_value%>';
cpcff_default[1][ 'fieldname7' ] = '<%fieldname2_value%>';
cpcff_default[2][ 'fieldname2' ] = '<%fieldname1_value%>';
cpcff_default[2][ 'fieldname3' ] = '<%fieldname2_value%>';
</SCRIPT>
[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT]

As you can see in the previous examples, the indices (or attributes) in the cpcff_default variable don't have relationship with the forms' ids. These indices (or attributes) indicate the possition of the form in the page, the first form, index 1, second form, index 2, and so on.

Create New Predefined Template

The "Caculated Fields Form" plugin includes multiple predefined templates to be used in the forms. The template is selected from the "Form Settings" tab, in the toolbar of the form builder, but can occur that the predefined templates are not sufficient to create a form with the look and feel you want.

The template's module in our plugin, can be extended easily to create new designs, to be used in the forms of website.

Into the "/wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-form/templates" directory there are multiple folders, a folder for each template. The folders names have not restrictions, you simply should create a new folder for the custom template, with the name you want.

The only one required file in a template is the "config.ini" file, whose structure is:

prefix="cp_cff_custom"
file="style.css"
title="Custom Template"
thumbnail="thumbnail.jpg"
description="This is my custom template"

The description of attributes:

  • prefix: Classname, applied to the form's container. Its value should be unique for all templates on website (required attribute).
  • file: Name to the CSS file with the styles to define the appearance of form.
  • title: Name of the template, displayed in the dropdown list on form settings.
  • thumbnail: Name of image file, displayed when the template is selected (the image file should be stored in the template directory).
  • description: Description to display when the template is selected.

To implement a custom template to apply your forms, creates a new directory for the template into the path "/wp-content/uploads/calculated-fields-form/templates", for example "/wp-content/uploads/calculated-fields-form/templates/custom-template". Into the new directory, create a config.ini file with the template properties (described above), and the .css file with the custom design. Finally, select the new template from the "Form Template" attribute in the "Form Settings" tab. More information in the following post of the plugin's blog:

There is a better solution for printing the forms that preserves their structures and designs. It is distributed as part of the CP BLOCKS plugin.
