APIs on form variables and data structure

Filter: ipt_fsqm_filter_valid_elements

Filter is used to extend form elements which can be used by the form builder. All valid elements are categorized into four sections:

  • Design Elements: Elements that controls the appearance of the form and has nothing to do with actual HTML form elements.
  • MCQ Elements: Quiz elements, where scores can be set.
  • Feedback Elements: Elements for collecting user inputs, mostly in the form of raw text.
  • Other Elements: Anything else which could not be a part of the above. These elements also do not appear in the report and analysis.

The filter provides the only to add a custom element to any of the four sections.

Filter Uses

The filter accepts two arguments. First one is an associative array of valid elements that eForm accepts. Second is the form ID for which it is being called.

/**
 * Filters ipt_fsqm_filter_valid_elements
 *
 * @param      array  $elements  An associative array of all valid elements
 */
function extend_elements_for_currency( $elements ) {
	// Add our definition of new element
	// Since we would be collecting currency
	// so it makes sense to have it inside feedback/freetype elements
	// currency becomes the 'type' of the new element
	$elements['freetype']['elements']['currency'] = array(
		'm_type' => 'freetype', // Required
		'type' => 'currency', // Required and should match with the defined element type
		'title' => __( 'Currency Picker', 'domain' ), // Title of the element
		'description' => __( 'User can input currency amount', 'domain' ), // A short description
		'callback' => 'my_valid_callback', // A valid callback that would handle calls from IPT_FSQM_Form_Elements_Admin/Data/Front classes
		'callback_report' => 'my_valid_callback_report', // A valid callback that would handle calls from IPT_FSQM_Form_Elements_Utilities class
		'callback_report_calculator' => 'my_valid_callback_report_calc', // A valid callback that would handle calls from ajax function
	);

	// To add to MCQ elements
	$elements['mcq']['elements']['my_elem'] = array(
		'm_type' => 'mcq',
		'type' => 'my_elem',
		'title' => '',
		'description' => '',
		'callback' => '',
		'callback_report' => '',
		'callback_report_calculator' => '',
	);

	// To add to Other elements
	$elements['pinfo']['elements']['my_elem2'] = array(
		'm_type' => 'pinfo',
		'type' => 'my_elem2',
		'title' => '',
		'description' => '',
		'callback' => '',
		'callback_report' => '',
		'callback_report_calculator' => '',
	);

	return $elements;

Filter: ipt_fsqm_form_element_structure

This filter extends the structural data of an element. With this, you can define the settings structure of a new element.

Filter Uses

Filter accepts three parameters. The first is the associative array that defines the structure of the element. Second is a string that defines the type of the element (which you can extend using the ipt_fsqm_filter_valid_elements filter). Third is the form id for which it has been called.

/**
 * Filters ipt_fsqm_form_element_structure
 * For adding our custom form element
 *
 * @param      array   $structure  An associative array of default structure
 * @param      string  $element    Type of the element for which we need the structure
 * @param      int     $form_id    The ID of the form for which it has been called
 *
 * @return     array
 */
function extended_element_currency_structure( $structure, $element, $form_id ) {
	// Check if being called for our element
	if ( $element != 'currency' ) {
		// Just return the actual structure
		return $structure;
	}

	// Lets define our elements
	$structure = array(
		'type' => $element, // Required
		'm_type' => 'freetype', // Required
		'title' => '', // Default element title for frontend
		'validation' => array(
			'required' => false, // Validation array
		),
		'subtitle' => '', // Default element subtitle for frontend
		'description' => '', // Default element description for frontend
		'settings'   => array(
			'icon' => 0xf155, // To be used with fonticonpicker
			'max' => '',
			'min' => '',
			'step' => '',
		),
		'conditional' => array( // Conditional logic
			'active' => false, // True to use conditional logic, false to ignore
			'status' => false, // Initial status -> True for shown, false for hidden
			'change' => true, // Change to status -> True for shown, false for hide
			'logic' => array( // element dependent logics
				// This will get populated automatically
			),
		),
	);

	return $structure;

	if ( $element != 'currency' ) {
		// Just return the actual structure
		return $structure;
	}

	// Lets define ours
	$structure['m_type'] = 'freetype'; // Required
