ryan Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Are these two different questions? The answer is the same for both though. You can populate a select box (or checkboxes, radios or asmSelect) from page titles just like you can with Page fields in ProcessWire. In Form Builder, you just select the "page" input type when creating a field. Like in PW fields, it'll ask you for the parent/template/etc., that you want to pull pages from as your selectable options. Unlike ProcessWire fields, in Form Builder you can also have selectable fields that aren't connected to pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoetnik Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Sorry, something went wrong (in my head) posting this question. Thanks for your answer, I have bought the formbuilder, an amazing tool worth it's money!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 The latest version of Form Builder (0.1.7) now has a File Upload input type, so we're a little ahead of schedule on having this ready. It's currently in beta test, but available for anyone that wants to try it out as a download from the Form Builder support board. So for anyone that was waiting for file upload capability in Form Builder forms, we've now got it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Walker Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hi Ryan, Say for example I have a jobs listing section on my site and I have a generic 'apply here' application form for each job. Would I be able to vary the recipient email based on where each job was located? Regards Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Yes, the recipient email can be configured to change according to the value of any field in the form. You can say something like: if location=Savannah, email=midnight@garden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks Marty, You now have access to the form builder board. Also I'm posting a new version 0.1.9 tomorrow morning which includes some file field fixes discovered by way of mademyday earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Form Builder may be perfect for my next project. A couple questions: Is there a way to populate a drop down lists based on a previous selection? eg. selecting a state populates the next list with counties in that state? Also the client is requesting multi page forms to split up the long form Finally is there any sort of Conditional Logic where a form will present a set of questions based on a previous choice? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Is there a way to populate a drop down lists based on a previous selection? eg. selecting a state populates the next list with counties in that state? Form Builder doesn't get involved with individual fields (other than a custom files field made for it). So it will reflect whatever behavior is provided by the Inputfield modules installed on your system. I'm not aware of any Inputfield modules that provide the capability you mentioned yet, but it's certainly feasible. Also the client is requesting multi page forms to split up the long form Multi-page forms are not currently supported, though on the roadmap. Finally is there any sort of Conditional Logic where a form will present a set of questions based on a previous choice? Some basic conditional logic will be added to ProcessWire's Inputfield system within the next couple of versions, so Form Builder will inherit the same conditional logic at that time. However, it is currently possible to support conditional logic on your own with javascript manipulation of the form. There are several instances in the PW admin where this is being done with Inputfields already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doolak Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Does the Form Builder support Multilanguage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 If you need the same form in multiple languages, the best way to go is create multiple forms. Create the first one, then create the same form in another language -- Form Builder makes this as easy as copy+paste with it's "export" tab on the form, and "import" option when creating a new form. This is preferable to a single form with multiple languages because it ensures that the form entries/results are separated by language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encho Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Quick pre-sale question I am planning on using the form builder on 2 or 3 websites that I'm developing. Question is: if I upgrade them down the line to 2.3, would the module still work? Or I'm better off buying 'dev' version which will give me updates for a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Formbuilder works on 2.3 if that's what you're asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Form Builder will always work on whatever the current version of ProcessWire is. The current Form Builder versions work on either 2.2 or 2.3. Though Form Builder, like most ProcessWire modules, are very likely to keep working just fine, regardless of version. All Form Builder versions include 1 year of support and upgrades. The only reason to go for the 'dev' version would be if you planned to install it on some unknown quantity of sites you develop over that year (as there is no limit). Whereas the 'pro' version is for 3 sites, and the 'single' version is for 1 live site. But all include the 1-year of support and upgrades. You can always go for the 'single' or 'pro' and later upgrade to the 'dev' (we just subtract what you've already paid from the total, when you upgrade). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encho Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 That clears it. Went for 'dev' option, planning mass-converting my existing sites to PW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raydale Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I must have been living under a rock recently, I've only just noticed the 'Form Builder' has been released. I will be getting this for sure. One quick question: will I have the ability to have multiple forms on a page? For example, a general contact form and a newsletter email capture form? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yes - I'm pretty sure one or two of the rendering options allow for that Ray. Certainly the iframe way (which looks nice and not at all like an iframe ) will and I'm pretty sure the roll-your-own-HTML way of doing it will work too. As an example, there are hidden fields at the end of the forms like this: 1:contact-us:125e5bf0ddbe17eb22d269da97b0188f So it knows the form ID and name from that which I assume is so that you can use the same field names across different forms. For the best experience though, I think you need the latest Dev branch (2.3) of ProcessWire to make use of the latest version of FormBuilder. Sorry, lots of "pretty sure's" and assumptions in there now I read it back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n0sleeves Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have two jobs and even as 1 has slowed down, I just purchased a dev license because to me it's worth it, and it's supporting PW!! I know using it and PW will make my site building go 10X smoother! Thanks Ryan so much, looking forward to using it. I can't tell you how many times I have had to find form processing scripts and the $$$ I have wasted on scripts which ultimatley broke or failed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
