I'm trying to add custom user fields to the Web Users Manager area in MODx Evolution 1.0 via a custom plugin. I'm in the early stages and can't get the 'OnWUsrFormRender' hook to do anything. Any ideas?
Here's my test plugin code:
<?php
$e = &$modx->Event;
switch($e->name){
case "OnWUsrFormRender":
$fields = '
Test Info: <input type="text" name="test"/>
';
$e->output($fields); //this doesn't show up
echo 'testing'; //this doesn't show up
break;
}
?>
(PS- I've tried WebUserPE and PPP, but neither of them are good for my situation...)
You must not include
<?php ?>
tags in plugins besides that the code works fine.

I'm trying to identify which search form is used by the user in WP and depending on the answer, output a specific template.
I have a general idea of how to accomplish it, but WP does not hand form information over to the search.php template. For example a input value.
How could one provide search.php with submitted form data?
This is what I have so far;
located in archive.php
<form>
<input type="hidden" name="formName" value="globalSearch"/>
</form
Located in search.php
<?php $formIdentifier = $_GET['formName']; ?>
<?php if ( strcmp( $formIdentifier, 'globalSearch' ) ) { ?>
// Show foo
<?php } else { ?>
// Show bar
<?php } ?>
And this is the response from the browser:
Notice: Undefined index: formName in -
/wp-content/themes/understrap-child/search.php
EDIT: 26 Jun 2019 # 15:38
After some testing it turned out WP was doing some fancy stuff with my urls, resulting in cleaner urls such as; www.example.com/posts/hello-world You can't access the $GET variable without it displaying in the browser (At least to my knowledge.)
Disabling this feature means my urls now read; www.example.com/s=testing&formName=catalogueSearch&submit= and now the search.php argument I have built works as expected.
Try this snippet.
if(isset($_GET['formName'])) {
$type = $_GET['formName'];
if($type == 'globalSearch') {
load_template(TEMPLATEPATH . '/normal-search.php');
} elseif($type == 'books') {
load_template(TEMPLATEPATH . '/global-search.php');
}
}
I've got a contact form 7 form that I'm looking to execute php in the textarea field.
When I tested this with a normal form (ie not a plugin) it worked fine;
<textarea name="customer-issue" rows="10" cols="40"><?php if(isset($_GET['content'])) { echo $_GET['content']; } ?></textarea>
Does anyone know how you would go about being able to do this in CF7
In addition to the code of JpDevs:
He forgot some ' ' at setting the $html variable. This is working:
function cs7() {
$var=$_GET['content'];
$html='<p>'.$var.'</p>';
return $html;
}
add_shortcode('cs7', 'cs7');
Then just add [cs7] to your form.
When you use ' ', you have to write the variables outside by connecting with points:
$result = '<p>'.$var.'</p>';
When you use " ", you can write them inside:
$result = "<p>$var</p>";
Kindly have a look at below mentioned link :
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-7-input-fields-values-as-php-get-viarables
Hope this helps for you
Make the code
$var=$_GET['content'];
to short code,
and the paste the generated shortcode in your contact form 7 text area
Eg:
functions.php
function cs7()
{
$var=$_GET['content'];
$html='<p>.$var.</p>';
return $html;
}
add_shortcode('cs7', 'cs7');
add [cs7] in contact form area
I'm redesigning a site that's mainly static content, so a CMS is really not necessary. The only thing that changes is the 'events' page, which my client frequently updates. He does this now by going into the HTML, copying the tags of a previous event, changing whatever needs to be changed and uploading it back to the server. I want to make this easier for him (it's a pain in the a**, as he puts it), but without using a CMS I'm kind of lost.
Is there a way to have a form he can fill in (with place, date, etc.) and then display it on the proper page on submit? I'm thinking it should be possible with PHP but I don't know how to do it.
DEMO
The cleanest way to do this if you have PHP available is to set up a form that uses PHP to write to a text file, and then subsequent form posts would overwrite the same file. This is a very basic form created with the idea that the user would be the administrator. if this form was user facing to the public you would want toimplement a little more security.
You can format the output in the php script to match the site as needed.
Use this to read in the txt file on the page php file to display the text file:
<?php
readfile("Post.txt");
?>
HTML Form
<h1>Event Post </h1>
<form name="blogs" action="eventpost.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="titlePost">Post Title </label>
<input type="text" name="titlePost">
<label for="commentPost">Comment: </label>
<textarea type="text" name="commentPost" rows="5" cols="35"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submitPost" width="200px" value="Submit"/>
</form>
PHP Script
<?php
global $output;
$title = $_POST['titlePost'];
$comment = $_POST['commentPost'];
$tagDate = date('l, M d, Y');
$content = "<div><h2>$title</h2><span class=\"dateStamp\"> $tagDate</span><br><br><span>$comment</span>\n</div><hr>\n\r\r";
$file = "Post.txt";
if($_POST['titlePost'] = !"" && $_POST['commentPost'] != ""){
if (isset($_POST['submitPost'])){
if (file_put_contents($file, $content) > 0){
$output = "The post titled <b>$title</b> was accepted. Here is what was posted:<br><br>$comment<hr><br>";
} else{
$output = "<em>Unfortunately ".$title."</em> did not post appropriately.";
}
} else {
$output = "Your form is not filled out <u>completely.</u>";
}
echo "<span>".$output."</span>";
}
?>
Set it all up like this:
<?
$EventIs = "Event name"
$EventDate = "date"
//etc...
?>
in your HTML:
<p><span class="eventName">Event: <? echo $EventIs ?></span><br />
<span class="eventDate">Date: <? echo $EventDate ?></span></p>
That's really oversimplifying it. But it gives you the basic idea. You guy can just edit the variables at the top of the file, and they will appear wherever you want in the code.
If you want these variables set from a post from a form, you will have to save those variables in your database. But that's the basic idea.
From a high level perspective, you could create a form for him to fill out which would, on the back end, store the form contents into a file or database. Then, on the front end, you would read in that file, or database, parse the content, and display it however you like. That's a very common thing to do using PHP.
I have a site based on wordpress. I need to allow people to create posts from frontend so I have made a multi-part form which works pretty well. There are three parts of the form and each part of the form is validated before moving to the next part. Data is passed to another page through hidden inputs.
My form template looks somewhat like this ( complete code is pretty massive and irrelevant here, so just showing just the relevant parts ) which I hope is enough to give an idea how the form works.
MULTI-PART FORM WP-TEMPLATE SAMPLE CODE :
<?php
global $wpdb;
$this_page = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$page = $_POST['page'];
if ( $page == NULL ) { ?>
<?php include_once('multiparts/form-files/first_part.php'); ?>
<?php } else if ( $page == 1 ) { ?>
<?php include_once('multiparts/validation/validate_first_part.php');
if (isset($_POST['submit-1']) && (!empty($error))) { ?>
<div class="error-head">Cannot continue registration. Error/s highlighted below.</div><br/>
<?php echo $error . '</br>'; ?>
<?php } else {
include_once('multiparts/form-files/second_part.php');
}
?>
<?php
} else if ( $page == 2 ) { ?>
//SO ON AND SO FORTH
<?php
}
?>
Recently, I have a added several checkbox fields in the form with an intention to display values of selected checkboxes, in the created posts. So here is a relevant html form code that I am currently using.
<fieldset class="work-areas">
<label for="areas" class="label">INTERESTED IN :</label></br>
<div class="work-class">
<input type="checkbox" name="workareas[]" value="administration"/>administration</br>
<input type="checkbox" name="workareas[]" value="technical"/>technical</br>
<input type="checkbox" name="workareas[]" value="creative"/>creative</br>
<input type="checkbox" name="workareas[]" value="fieldwork"/>fieldwork</br>
<input type="checkbox" name="workareas[]" value="marketing"/>marketing</br>
</div>
</fieldset>
I insert the values of these checkboxes into the post just like any other custom fields using this code: add_post_meta($pid, 'areas', $workareas, true );. In the processing part it is assigned a meta_key areas. I display it in the single.php with the code below :
<?php $areas = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'areas', true); ?>
<?php if (is_array($areas)) : ?>
<h4>INTERESTED AREAS OF WORK:</h4>
<?php if (is_array($areas)) {
foreach($areas as $area) {
echo '<li>'.$area.'</li>';
}
}
?>
<?php endif;?>
ISSUE: All this works well when the above given html form code for checkboxes is in the last/third part of the form. But it does work when the same checkbox fields is in the second part of the form. I guess it simply does not pass the array values of the selected checkboxes to the third part. Print_r shows an empty array and obviously does not display anything in the single.php too. Although I understand that the trouble is just the array of selected checkbox values, NOT being carried to the third part properly, I need help as I am noob to all this.
So the bottomline question is how do I save the array of the selected
checkboxes' values in the second part and carry it to the third part
and finally assign it to a variable which will hold the array values.
That which can be displayed in post using the code above.
THINGS TRIED : I have looked into this thread here and I am confused where I will insert my checkbox fields and not even sure it applies to my situation. I have been able to pass other text input values from one part to another part of the from using something like this :
<input type="hidden" name="eligible" value="<?php echo $eligible;?>" />
So, I tried using name="workareas[]" but did not work. I am doing print_r() for everything I am trying and till now have only been getting empty array. I am still going through tons of other threads looking for possible hints. In the meanwhile if you can help, that will be great. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE : Solved, please check the answer.
Not a WP user but your checkboxes are named "workareas" but you seem to refer to them as "areas" everywhere else.
Thanks for the suggestions in the comments but I have found a graceful and robust solution in my opinion, that is using sessions. I followed the basic idea from here which actually deals with a multipart form with sessions. Now I have the following code in my third/last part of the form, at the very beginning of the document. At this time please remember that the html checkbox fields as illustrated above in the question are in the second part.
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['workareas'] = $_POST['workareas'];
$result=$_POST['workareas'];
?>
The code is that is repeated during the validation of the third part is the same but this way the variable $result is still holding the values of the array of the selected checkboxes from the second part of the form.
session_start();
$result=$_SESSION['workareas'];
You can do a print_r($result) at this point and check. Furthermore, if you want to insert these array values to post in order for them to show up in the post just assign meta_key eg. areas to $result and use the code below to add it as a custom field :
add_post_meta($pid, 'areas', $result, true);
In the single.php you can use the code below to pull values from the array and show. Do not avoid if(is_array) statement else wordpress might throw an error warning: invalid arguments supplied foreach(). Goodluck.
<?php $areas = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'areas', true); ?>
<?php if (is_array($areas)) : ?>
<h4>INTERESTED AREAS OF WORK:</h4>
<?php if (is_array($areas)) {
foreach($areas as $area) {
echo '<li>'.$area.'</li>';
}
}
?>
<?php endif;?>
I'm not the world's most experienced Drupal and I'm having a nightmare trying to customise the search box. I'm using the example from the Drupal help site and it's simply not working.
I've copied search-theme-form.tpl.php from the search module into my theme and copied the example code, Any HTML in that code outside of the pre-process function shows fine but as far as I can tell, the pre-process function either isn't called or just isn't affecting my search box.
I'm almost certain that I'm missing something absolutely fundamentally basic about how Drupal works but I can't find any info at all.
Here's the code:
<?php
function danland_preprocess_search_theme_form(&$vars, $hook) {
// Remove the "Search this site" label from the form.
$vars['form']['search_theme_form']['#title'] = t('');
// Set a default value for text inside the search box field.
$vars['form']['search_theme_form']['#value'] = t('Search this Site');
// Add a custom class and placeholder text to the search box.
$vars['form']['search_theme_form']['#attributes'] = array('class' => 'NormalTextBox txtSearch', 'onblur' => "if (this.value == '') {this.value = '".$vars['form']['search_theme_form']['#value']."';} ;", 'onfocus' => "if (this.value == '".$vars['form']['search_theme_form']['#value']."') {this.value = '';} ;" );
// Change the text on the submit button
//$vars['form']['submit']['#value'] = t('Go');
// Rebuild the rendered version (search form only, rest remains unchanged)
unset($vars['form']['search_theme_form']['#printed']);
$vars['search']['search_theme_form'] = drupal_render($vars['form']['search_theme_form']);
$vars['form']['submit']['#type'] = 'image_button';
$vars['form']['submit']['#src'] = path_to_theme() . '/images/search.jpg';
// Rebuild the rendered version (submit button, rest remains unchanged)
unset($vars['form']['submit']['#printed']);
$vars['search']['submit'] = drupal_render($vars['form']['submit']);
// Collect all form elements to make it easier to print the whole form.
$vars['search_form'] = implode($vars['search']);
}
?>
<div id="search" class="container-inline">
<?php print $search_form; print $search_theme_form; ?>
</div>
Put the preprocess function in template.php in your theme directory, then clear the cache at "admin/settings/performance"
