[Resolved] How different between your plugin an formiable pro plugin?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to know how different is toolset forms from Formidable forms

Solution:

From what I can see it seems that formidable forms is a highly specific solution where the Forms create posts for its Entries custom post type.

With Toolset Forms you can create forms for any custom post type. This means that you can select a custom post type that the form should create content form. See Screenshot.

In this screenshot you can see that I'm creating a form for the Airlines CPT.

Our Views Plugin, formidable forms has some of this functionality but Views is much more powerful. With views you can use it to create post slider's using the specific post items such as Title, Post Body etc to create sliders that paginate through your different Posts.

With views this can be done for any CPT. I see with formidable forms you will need to design your layout Manually, but our Plugin has what is known as a Loop wizard that can aid you with creating your data layout.

Secondly Views can be used to create custom Archive pages for your CPT.

I have bug your plugin , and i start to use your plugin more.

But i also want to ask about what different between your plugin and "hidden link"

I have used formidable forms plugin 2 years.

I understand you are different, but some your description is similar such as view frontend.

I use your plugin create custom product category and field, it is very userful.

So could you tell me about more suggestion how to use, thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Whilst I may not understand the full extent of the Formidable Forms pro plugin, I see where it is a form builder. Not sure if its able to create frontend posts to any Custom Post type but this is something that our Toolset Forms can do.

Our Toolset forms plugin is primarily geared towards creating frontend posts for any custom post type. This means that if you setup a CPT in our Types plugin for Ads, then you can allow your users through our Toolset Forms plugin to post ads to your site.

These ads can then be displayed using our Views plugin.

Toolset forms also has the ability to integrate with Woocommerce to charge for posting ads. It can also set expiration date for the Ads.

Next you can setup notifications so that if a post is created then you can be notified of it.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane
