DataTables jQuery Plugin   DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library. It is a highly flexible tool, built upon the foundations of progressive enhancement, that adds a tonn of advanced features to any HTML table.   It works really well with Formidable Views but is better suited for Intermediate / Advanced users with some jQuery experience.   Website: https://datatables.net/

Chart.js   Chart js is an open source chart library for creating interactive, dynamic charts and graphs. Works well with Formidable views, frm-stats and frm-math shortcodes.   Website: https://www.chartjs.org/

Hi!
I've been trying to make charts based on the value of a field. I haven't found a way to use shortcodes like
[frm-field-value field_id=x user_id=current]. Is there another way to do it?

Luis, please repost your question in the forum under either the General, How To, or Code help topic. I just happened to stumble across your comment above because I was looking for the chartjs URL. When you post in comments, the moderators do not receive an alert that a question has been asked.

Good evening all, I have a plug-in that works with Formidable. It’s a way to serve files via a directory from your web sever.  It lists the files and presents them for download, with access control and auditing.  It’s a paid plug-in, but I put a lot into its development. You could use your FF upload directory as the folder served by the plugin.  It’s called Document Explorer.  Check it out below! https://docexplorer.net

Formidable Form/Field Keys Easy Display/Edit Shortcode
This is the one tool every Formidable Developer needs!
How many times have you wished you could list a form and all of its fields in order in a tabular format? Or, how often have you dreamed that there was an easier way to edit form/field keys in a bulk edit mode without going through the form builder?
Well..., now you can!

Yep. I *love* this plugin. It's now in my must-haves. I'm thinking of a way to use it in a utility form where I can dynamically choose the form that the Field Key Display matrix references. Currently, I'm thinking of multiple html fields each with its shortcode tied to a specific form, toggled by conditional display logic tied to checkboxes so I can reference multiple related forms in a project. There may be an even more elegant way, but .. baby steps.. standalone, this plugin *rocks*.

I really like the E2PDF plugin. Documentation isn't the bees knees, but it's still a really powerful plugin. https://e2pdf.com
Matt CluteMatt Clute replied 2 years ago

I was about to add this too, without it I couldn't have used formidable to complete my project. Curious if you have found a way to subdivide a multi-page pdf generated using e2pdf? thanks.

Michael ClarkMichael Clark replied 2 years ago

Hi Matt. Not sure if this is useful for you, but I have a project where custom sections, subdivided data, and pagination were required. I created an empty doc, designed the sections, divisions, and the pagination I needed, converted that to a PDF, uploaded it into a new E2PDF template, and then mapped Formidable fields to it.

Another *really* powerful plugin is Loops and Logic. It's got an entire templating language that's kinda like extending HTML syntax with shortcodes. You can loop through *any* content type in WP, and there's very robust conditional logic in there, too.

Cloud Upload Field for Formidable Forms This addon plugin is currently available FF.  It adds a new field to the native builder that allows for the uploading of files to an S3-compatible service (Amazon S3, DO Spaces, Wasabi, etc.). Great for keeping files off of your webserver.  Only $15 for a year. This plugin will eventually be moved to the Formidable Masterminds Site, but currently is available on my developer page.

I have a few tools that would likely end up on any site I'm working with. Those are:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/ - Control who gets to see what in your nav menu's.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/ - Control who goes where and what they see when they login.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/ - Control access to content and add in custom roles that might be used in Formidable accessibility designs.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/ - Some bonus CSS features not included in certain themes (helps with not having to code custom styling).
https://wordpress.org/plugins/stream/ - Audit logging tool
Many of the WMPU Dev Plugins - https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpmudev/#content-plugins (Particularly Smush, Hummingbird, and Defender) - Optimization and security. Probably some of the best free tools.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/ - Backups. Need I say more.
Each of these have premium versions, but the free stuff won't hurt you a bit and tend to get everything I need in a design done.
