Formidable Forms v3.0b1

Last updated on November 13, 2017 by stephywells

Plugin: Formidable Forms

  • A UI pick-me-up in preparation of things to come in 4.0
  • Add range slider and toggle fields
  • Move phone, number, user ID, hidden, and HTML fields to the free version
  • Separate rating fields from stars
  • Move repeater field to its own button
  • Combine image and URL fields
  • Add readonly option to time fields
  • Remove the jquery rating js and replace with mostly html and css
  • Show frm-stats as stars with straight html/css (no more js)
  • Possibly breaking change: Remove code that has been deprecated since before v2.02
  • Add a new field class to make it easy to make new field types. We don't have docs yet, but developers can take a look at the FrmFieldType class. But we've gone to great efforts to make sure fields done the old way will continue to function.
  • Allow the pro and free versions of Formidable to run side-by-side. We are still running is as a single nested plugin right now while we prepare for a mass switch in a future release. v#.0 lays all the groundwork to run and update the two versions separately.
  • Move front-end javascript for pro version into separate file
  • Save a combined js file to use on the front-end with a fallback if the file fails to generate. This file is triggered to update when the plugin is activated or updated.
  • Improved RTL styling in backend
  • Better a11y support with hidden labels where required, and "for" on most labels.
    Link field to description for screenreaders.
  • Change "field options" to "field settings"
  • Move shortcodes to form settings page
  • Update the Print styling for the entries page
  • Remove the preview page setting, and use the regular preview page instead
  • Remove frm_text_block class and do it by default. Radio buttons and checkboxes with wrapping text should look good by default
  • Remove recaptcha and website fields from default Contact us form template
  • Move format options to free with HTML5 pattern
  • Add new classes for each field type with extendable base class
  • Enable auto update when pro is used as a separate plugin
  • Separate Pro and Lite translations
  • Add validation for the year range in date fields
  • Don't show the reports nav if no entries
  • Include line breaks to paragraph fields when viewing entries on backend
  • Hide the "screen options" on the edit/new entries pages since it doesn't do anything
  • Add a link in the footer to review Formidable
  • Add frm_output_single_style hook for extra css
  • Replace some back-end scripts for showing and hiding settings on click with html data attributes
  • Fix: Don't use conditional logic in form actions when the field isn't selected
  • Fix: Show address fields without <br> in dynamic fields
