Took a trip out of town this weekend, and was able to finish my long-awaited Webform Generator plugin on the plane (and on my friend's couch!). This plugin will allow you to collect user information from the app and send it off to a php script (or save it locally on the device). The php script can do whatever you create it to, such as email the results to someone or save it to a database. A few things to note: 1) You will need to write your own php script, and upload it to your own server. Buzztouch.com does not allow php scripts to be uploaded. Most low-cost hosting providers/servers allow php, so it shouldn't be hard to do. If you don't know how to write php, a sample script can be found at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/53j94mdpujjbchb/sampleWebformScript.php You will need to move this to your server and then link it to the plugin on the control panel page. Please don't bombard me with emails about how you can create your own script to do X, Y or Z. Post your questions about php on the forums so if I can't get to it right away, someone else can. 2) If you previously purchased my Webform Generator plugin, this is NOT backward-compatible. I totally redesigned this from the ground-up, giving greater flexibility over design/layout while reducing the footprint significantly. 3) This is for iOS 3.0 projects only. If enough people demand it, I'll consider making it for iOS 2.0 projects. Also, I'll eventually get to Android, but it will be a while. Not sure whether that will be part of this plugin, or a different one altogether. It depends on how similar I make it and whether it makes sense to be one big plugin or not.

This should be pretty popular. It's something a lot of folks have asked for. Nice Job! :) Cheers! -- Smug

I'm confused, what advantage does this plugin have over just using a local HTML page to display a webform that submits to a remote php file?

It's entirely native, allowing for a much better user experience.

Bought. Regarding the childItems section. What does your config_cp.txt look like. Is it a customInclude? Like this { "fileType": "customInclude", "fileName": "childItems.html" },

'custom' not 'customInclude'

And actually, if you're a plugin developer, this plugin is worth the $25 just to see how the child items are setup. If you notice, the child item properties page change based on the type of child item, dynamically adding certain properties. All done using JavaScript.

We heard about this in the early spring at the St. Louis Buzzcon. Nice to have it finally released -- congratulations! ;-) I wonder when will Stobe release his config file switcher plugin? Wasn't it called The Transformator? He had previewed it to us at the Buzzcon. Chris -- JavaScript -- In a native plugin? -- Niraj

It's totally native - the JavaScript is just for the control panel

About time @chris1! We been waiting on this one..great job! LA

"And actually, if you're a plugin developer, this plugin is worth the $25 just to see how the child items are setup. If you notice, the child item properties page change based on the type of child item, dynamically adding certain properties. All done using JavaScript." Yep, ran a diff on it this morning.

That's great news, thanks Chris. Farcat

Do you know what this part does? //reference to the form... var frm = document.forms[0]; //create the JSON string to pass to use in childItemAddJson form element... var newItemJson = "{"; newItemJson += "\"itemType\":\"BT_menuItem\", "; newItemJson += "\"fieldName\":\"" + frm.fieldName.value + "\", "; newItemJson += "\"fieldType\":\"" + frm.fieldType.value + "\""; newItemJson += "}";

When I put in new data on the form, I get this error and it will not save: {"result":"error", "errors":"nickname already in use, no duplicates allowed"} LA

@nadthevlad - that sets the initial values for the childitem @LA - not sure what's going on there. Had that happen once to me and thought it was a fluke. Change the nickname to something else and you should be fine

Thank you chris1, that worked! LA

Nice job. Hope to see it for Android soon - otherwise I guess in the meantime I can jump to a mobile friendly web page on my site where I have a form, eh?

Same as pdog I am interested on that king of plugin but i need it for both, iOS and Android. Regards

I've recently purchased this plugin and I'm slowly getting it configured in my first app. I have created several text fields and the keyboard pops up whenever I type into these fields. However, for the last couple of text fields the keyboard displays over the text fields I'm typing in, and there is no "done" key on the keyboard to close the keyboard after I've finished typing. Is there any way to get a "done" key on the keyboard or allow for a way to close the keyboard once I've finished typing in the text field? Thanks!

Does this plugin send the response back to the device? I can figure it out if not so no big deal,just wondering.
