Does anyone know of any Kanban solution/plugin/etc. that might play nicely with Formidable Forms? Thx.

Note that I have found several Kanban solutions that can call up the user from the WP user db, what I can't find, which would be awesome, is a Kanban solution whose user assignment could come from a Formidable Form entry table.

This would make an interesting use case for Formidable. I never heard of anyone doing a KanBan integration but it may be possible with an HTML5 canvas drawing tool and jQuery. I don't know if ChartJS can do it, but it is an interesting concept. Please let us know what you find out.

Thanks Victor. There is actually a company that is doing this: Fluent. They have, among others, two apps that play together nicely, Fluent Forms and Fluent Boards (a new Kanban app). I've looked at it but I'm kinda married to Formidable on dozens of sites and don't want to add another forms app to the ecosystem. Basically, in their case, the Forms app serves to inform/populate the Kanban. To be frank, their forms app is a lightweight compared to FF, but they recognize the value of tying the two together.

I just figured out how to do this with Sortable.js

Hi Tony. How, pray tell.... :star:

The html and css is pretty straighforward, so the main challene is that you have to update the entry status using an AJAX Handler when you drag via Sortable.js

That's a nice find Tony! Where did you create your Kanban tiles? I could see this working in a view and doing the updates as you suggested with Ajax.

<p>Yes, I added the columns to the view of the header (that is typically used for tables).  And the cards to the body so it can repeat</p>
