[Forminator Pro] Pre-submission Summary Page for Forminator

2

I think it would possibly be beneficial for users who are using the Forminator plugin to offer the ability to check the details as input by a user prior to completing by submission.

My forms tend to be paginated, and therefore a user can't easily see what details they've completed the form with to check for any errors or omissions.

Giving them the opportunity to see a summary of the completed form before submission could be super helpful I feel.

    Hey Guy

    Hope you are doing well.

    You’d be glad to know that it’s already in our feature list so be assured that this will be added to Forminator in the future. For now, it’s not planned for a particular release so can’t give you an ETA but you can keep an eye on our product roadmap to keep checking the upcoming features.

    Regards,

    Hey Jimmy Sköldberg

    You can actually use the HTML field and the merge tags to insert form data on that. It can be used to create a summary of details provided by visitors on your form. So basically, the HTML field acts as the summary field where you show data of every form field you want to.

    I have created a quick demo to be sure you want something similar. You can view the demo at https://mukul.wpmudev.host/form-summary-demo. Notice that every page has a “Booking Summary” HTML field on top which shows the data from different fields on it. If you don’t want the summary to be visible on each pagination page, just insert the HTML field wherever you want the summary to be. In case you want to import that form, you can use the form export provided on this link and import it on your own site to check how it’s been done.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

      Hi again, thank you for the examples, it looks great!
      On more question though :slight_smile:: I have a select box in my form, how do I get the value of the selected option to display in the summary?
      E.g. if I have select box named select-1, with an option like
      <option name=”business-intelligence”>Business Intelligence</option>
      then the {select-1} tag displays “business-intelligence”, not “Business Intelligence”.
      How do I display the value instead of the name?

    Hey Jimmy Sköldberg

    At the moment, the merge tags display the option value instead of the option label. So it’ll appear as “business-intelligence”. We have an improvement planned for one of the upcoming releases to use the option label instead of the option value. Until then, you can change the option values to how you want them to appear on the HTML field. As long as it doesn’t have any special characters, it should work just fine. An example is attached:
