Hook Examples

Link thumbnail to full size images with multiple uploads

If you are using the multiple file upload option, and want the thumbnail to link to the full-sized image, add this to your theme functions.php or a new plugin. Then, in your View, use [25 link_full=1] but replace 25 with the ID of your field.

Stop default templates

On some sites, you may decide the default templates aren't helpful to you or your clients. In this case, you can delete the templates from your forms list, and use this example to prevent them from being regenerated the next time Formidable is updated.

Dropdown dynamic user roles

I was presented with a task to create a dynamic dropdown that would pull users of a certain role from the wp_user table and be able to use their email address as a value.  This dropdown also had to use different values for the options.

I saw that the basic show_user_dropdown listed in the support pages just showcased the basic use where it would return as:

<option value = user>user</option>
<option value = user>user</option>

What I wanted it to display as:

<option value="">                    </option>
<option value="user@user.com">User</option>
<option value="user2@user.com">User 2 </option>
<option value ="1"> - not listed - </option>

With this code I was able to meet the requirements and have provided comments in the code if you would like to modify to suit your needs.

Autopopulating Dropdown Fields with Autocomplete Enabled

When autocomplete is enabled on a dropdown field, your standard code will not work to autopopulate it.

If you insert any kind of javascript that intends to alter a dropdown field which has . . . autocomplete enabled, the following code snippet has to be added in order for any changes to be reflected : $("select[name='item_meta[123]']").trigger("chosen:updated"); . where item meta[123] is the dropdown field which you are trying to alter.

That little snippet is required for not just conditionally selecting a default value, but also for conditionally hiding / showing certain dropdown options, etc.
