Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite [fpsm] Shortcode

The Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite shortcode, ‘fpsm’, dynamically generates a form based on the given alias. This shortcode retrieves a form’s details using the alias provided in the shortcode attributes. If a form with the specified alias exists, it registers frontend assets, sets global variables, and outputs the form’s HTML. If the form doesn’t exist, it returns an error message.

Shortcode: [fpsm]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible fpsm shortcode parameters and attributes:

• alias – the unique name for identifying the specific form

Examples and Usage

Basic example – Display a form using its alias

[fpsm alias="contact_form"]

This shortcode will display the form that has the alias “contact_form”. If the form with this alias does not exist, it will display a message stating “Form not available for this alias.”

Advanced examples

Display a form using its alias and add additional parameters

[fpsm alias="contact_form" param1="value1" param2="value2"]

In this advanced example, we’re using the same basic shortcode to display a form with the alias “contact_form”. However, we’re also adding two additional parameters, “param1” and “param2”, and assigning them the values “value1” and “value2” respectively. This can be useful for further customizing the output of the form based on these parameters. Please note that these parameters are just placeholders, and you would need to replace them with actual parameters supported by the plugin.

PHP Function Code

                $form_row = $fpsml_library_obj->get_form_row_by_alias($alias);
                if (!empty($form_row)) {
                    $form_details = maybe_unserialize($form_row->form_details);
                    $this->register_frontend_assets();
                    $GLOBALS['fpsml_form_details'] = $form_details;
                    $GLOBALS['fpsml_form_alias'] = $alias;
                    ob_start();
                    include(FPSML_PATH . '/includes/views/frontend/form-shortcode.php');
                    $form_html = ob_get_contents();
                    ob_end_clean();

                    return $form_html;
                } else {
                    return esc_html__('Form not available for this alias.', 'frontend-post-submission-manager-lite');
                }
            }
