MW WP Form [mwform_value] Shortcode

The MW WP Form shortcode is a powerful tool that allows for dynamic input on your WordPress pages. It uses the ‘_input_page’ function to generate the content. This shortcode checks if a ‘value’ exists in the defaults array and if the ‘name’ attribute is set. If the ‘value’ attribute isn’t set, it applies a filter to assign a default value. It then merges the existing attributes with the defaults and returns the input page.

Shortcode: [mwform_value]

Parameters

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

• atts – The attributes you want to assign to the form
• element_content – The content of the form’s elements
• value – Default value for the form field
• name – Name of the form field

Examples and Usage

Basic example – An instance of the mw-wp-form plugin shortcode is used to call the ‘_input_page’ function. In this basic example, the ‘name’ attribute is specified, and the ‘value’ attribute is omitted, allowing the function to assign a default value.

[mwform form_key="your_form_key" name="your_field_name"]

Advanced examples

Here, the mw-wp-form plugin shortcode is used with both ‘name’ and ‘value’ attributes specified. This will override the default ‘value’ that would otherwise be assigned by the function.

[mwform form_key="your_form_key" name="your_field_name" value="your_value"]

In this advanced example, the mw-wp-form plugin shortcode is used with multiple ‘name’ and ‘value’ pairs. This allows for the creation of more complex forms with multiple fields.

[mwform form_key="your_form_key" name1="your_field_name1" value1="your_value1" name2="your_field_name2" value2="your_value2"]

PHP Function Code

			$atts['value'] = apply_filters(
				'mwform_value_' . $this->form_key,
				$this->defaults['value'],
				$atts['name']
			);
