FAQ

Do you have questions or issues with Forms with chart from VAB? Use these support channels appropriately.

  1. FeedBack
  2. Plugin’s website

Can I add id and class attributes to a form element?

Yes. You can add any id and class to a form by adding the form_id and form_class attributes into a [VABFWC] shortcode.
For example:

[VABFWC id="2228" form_id="ThisID" form_class="new-class two-new-class"]

How to display form results anywhere else using shortcode?

To display the results of the form in any other place, you need to add the shortcode «VABFWC_Graphic».
For example.

1. For page and post editor

[VABFWC_Graphic id="2228" title="Title for shortcode" tag="h4" class="my_class"]

2. PHP code

echo do_shortcode( '[VABFWC_Graphic id="2228" title="Title for shortcode" tag="h4" class="my_class"]' );

Where:

  • id – form identifier (required);
  • title – text before displaying form results (optional);
  • tag – the tag in which the title will be wrapped (optional). Allowed tags – h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, div, p, center;
  • class – Sets the style class for the tag (optional);

What filters exist?

  • VABFWC_validate_filter – Returns either true or false. If any condition returns true, the form will stop working (message will not be sent)
  • VABFWC_fields_filter – Returns a string to display on the screen. Allowed HTML tag with attributes «type», «id», «class», «name», «value», «checked», «onfocus», «onchange»
  • VABFWC_message_filter – Returns a string to display as text (message)
  • VABFWC_message_after_filter – Returns a string to display as text (message). Fires after a successful email has been sent.

How to use filters?

Examples of using filters:

1. VABFWC_fields_filter.
The code below will add a hidden field via the “formInput” class, which will be with a default value of “WordPress”. Only the tag without the will be output (see description above for VABFWC_fields_filter)

add_filter( 'VABFWC_fields_filter', 'VABFWC_fields_filter', 10 );
if ( !function_exists(  'VABFWC_fields_filter'  ) ){
 function VABFWC_fields_filter( $str ){
  $str  = '<label for="new_field" >' .
           '<input id="new_field" name="new_field" type="text" class="formInput" value="WordPress"/>' .
          '</label>';
  return $str;
 }}

2. VABFWC_validate_filter. The code below will stop the form from submitting if at least one condition returns «true».

add_filter( 'VABFWC_validate_filter', 'VABFWC_filter_function', 10 );
if ( !function_exists( 'VABFWC_filter_function' ) ) {
 function VABFWC_filter_function( $str ){
  if ( !isset( $_COOKIE['my_cookie_agree'] ) || $_COOKIE['my_cookie_agree'] !== 'agree' ) { // first
   return true;
  }
  if ( sanitize_text_field( $_POST['new_field'] ) !== 'WordPress' ) { // second
   return true;
  }
 }}

Where:

  • The first condition checks for a «cookie» with a value of «agree» set. Let’s say you have an “I agree” button on your site that, when clicked, sets a «cookie» with the value «agree», which means that the user has consented to the use of cookies. Thus, until the user clicks the “I agree” button, the form will not work, and the life of the bots will become more complicated;
  • The second condition checks the value of the hidden field, if it is different from the default value («WordPress»), further processing of the form will be stopped;

3. VABFWC_message_filter. If a «cookie» with a value of «agree» is not present (the user has not consented to the use of the «cookie»), the code below will display a message to the user.

add_filter( 'VABFWC_message_filter', 'VABFWC_message_filter', 10 );
if ( !function_exists(  'VABFWC_message_filter' ) ){
 function VABFWC_message_filter( $str ){
  if ( !isset( $_COOKIE['my_cookie_agree'] ) || $_COOKIE['my_cookie_agree'] !== 'agree' ) {
   return $str = esc_html__( 'Использование cookie отключено в настройках безопасности Вашего браузера, либо не дано согласие на их использование', 'VAB' );
  }
 }}

4. If we need to add filters for a particular form, we can use the global variable «post» and check the post/page id:

add_filter( 'VABFWC_validate_filter', 'my_filter_function', 10 );
function my_filter_function( $str ){
 global $post;
 if ( $post->ID == 1652 ) {
  if ( !isset( $_COOKIE['my_cookie_agree'] ) || $_COOKIE['my_cookie_agree'] !== 'agree' ) {
   return true;
  }}}

5. VABFWC_message_after_filter. After successfully sending an email, we can perform any of our calculations and display their results on the screen

add_filter( 'VABFWC_message_after_filter', 'VABFWC_message_after_filter', 10 );
if ( !function_exists('VABFWC_message_after_filter') ){
    function VABFWC_message_after_filter( $str ){
     global $post;
     if ( $post->ID == 11057 ) {
        // do something
        $str .= 'Hellow';

     }
     if ( $post->ID == 11052 ) {
        // do something
        $str .= 'World';
     }
        return $str ;
}}
