[Resolved] Reflections and doubts regarding Toolset. Mainly doubts about forms

Hello,

I'm analyzing a current project and thinking about a new project, I have some questions regarding Toolset forms

1- Can I somehow have a form that makes a custom post type form and a custom post type form? I mean two forms in one

I think that eventually with patience and work I could create a post form and request user information in generic form fields, and then send access credentials to the user in the publish_custom_post_type hook. But it's quite a bit of code and maybe there's a simpler and more integrated way

2- About uploading multiple files for disconnected users in forms. I understand that for connected users you can enable media library and they can upload multiple files. But in the project I have and that I'm thinking about for the future, it would generate a lot of value to upload multiple files while disconnected

I asked this question a while ago and you even showed me a success story using dropzone

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/adding-drag-drop-to-multiple-file-uploads-with-toolset-forms/

Here I am more complicated and I don't think I would know how to implement it (I think it's too advanced for me). Aren't there more success stories or an easier way?

The second thing I don't quite understand is why so few people request it, I feel it hurts anyone who wants to offer a form to people not connected with a gallery. Forcing the user to upload photo by photo is forcing the final gallery to be very small

Isn't there a plan to implement multiple uploads for disconected users in the short or medium term?

I like Toolset and I would like to continue using your plugins in future projects

Thanks greetings

Hi there,

1- There is no way to have two forms inside a form.

If there is no need for connection between two forms then you can create a form and set the submit page to redirect the user to a page that contains the other form.

If there is a need to add some sort of data, you need custom coding.

2- For now it is not possible to have multiple file upload with the simple HTML upload feature as it uses , well, simple HTML 🙂

You are welcome to ask for multiple file upload feature here:

If there are enough requests it will be upvoted by your entry in our internal reporting system.

There are no plans for such a feature at the moment.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks for the quick response and transparency

I have the information to evaluate the current project and to decide on the future
