Problem: I am unable to update Toolset plugins. I see an error PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT.
Solution: Download Types 3.2.7 from https://toolset.com/account/downloads and install from scratch. Automatic update should be available shortly, but the manual update process is available right now.
Problem: When I submit a CRED form I'm redirected to a 404 page. I also see a notices on my CRED form:
Notice: Undefined index: required in /path/to/wp-content/plugins/cred-frontend-editor/application/models/field/generic.php on line 62
Notice: Undefined index: required in /path/to/wp-content/plugins/cred-frontend-editor/application/models/field/generic.php on line 63
Solution: Add the required attribute to all generic fields in this CRED form, and set it to 0 if the field is not required.
I would like to collect Data with CRED, and when the Form is submitted, send this data to another, external 3rd party application, that does not reside on the Wordpress Install or is by another Plugin/Theme.
Can you help me with this?
Solution
The success of this depends mainly on 2 things:
- What WordPress can do,
- what PHP can do.
If you know how to send data with PHP from WordPress installs to populate 3rd Party Databases, then those same methods will work perfectly fine within CRED as well.
The CRED API will allow you to hook your custom code whenever you need it.
Most likely you would use a late hook, so to make sure all data is in the database already, and you can grab it safely.
How to send the data out of WordPress to a completely different system, or populating 3rd Party databases, is something we cannot assist with in the Forum.
Problem:
How to create a lead capture form that first captures the email before the rest of the content is submitted?
Solution:
I would have the visitors create just a single post.
You have a CRED form to publish an initial post and this form contains only a field for the email.
The user enters their email address and submits the form.
On completion you redirect to a CRED Edit form which edits the post you just created, and which includes the other fields you want the users to complete (and displays the collected email address without being able to edit it).
When this form is submitted you just have all the info in a single post.
