FormFork Connect

ማብራሪያ

FormFork Connect adds a top-level FormFork studio menu to WordPress Admin pre-configured for https://formfork.io:

  1. Top-Level FormFork Menu & Guided 3-Step Onboarding Wizard:
    • 60-Second Setup Wizard: Connect your ff_live_... API key in one click, launch a ready-made form from 4 Starter Templates (Contact & Inquiry, Lead Capture & Project Quote, Customer Experience Survey, Client Intake & Digital Sign-Off), and auto-generate a draft WordPress page with the form pre-embedded.
    • All Forms: View all synced workspace forms with 1-Click Copy buttons for both Native and Hosted Iframe shortcodes, Edit Authority Lock badges (Editable Everywhere, Locked: WordPress Only, Locked: Dashboard Only), a Sync Now cache refresh button, and + Create New Form. (Form deletion is safely restricted to the FormFork Web Dashboard).
    • Form Builder: Full-featured visual Form Builder with Multi-Step Wizard support, 15 field types (including Digital Signature Pad, Evaluation Matrix, and File Upload with size & format limits), Edit Authority Lock selector, half/full column widths, dropdown/radio/checkbox options, conditional visibility logic (Show when Field X equals Y), 7 visual theme presets, and a side-by-side Live Interactive Form Preview.
    • Settings: Pre-configured with https://formfork.io as the default Platform URL, live Test API Connection diagnostics, and automatic Scoped Key detection (displaying project group and allowed domain restrictions).
  2. Gutenberg Block, Elementor Widget & Classic Editor Form Picker:
    • Elementor Page Builder: Drag and drop the native FormFork Form widget (eicon-form-horizontal), choose any synced form from the Elementor sidebar dropdown, pick from 7 visual themes, and preview it live inside the Elementor canvas.
    • Block Editor (Gutenberg): Search for FormFork Form (formfork/form-embed) to select any synced form from a dropdown and customize render mode or theme in the block sidebar.
    • Classic Editor: Click the Add FormFork Form button next to Add Media to pick a form and insert the shortcode automatically.
  3. Server-Side WordPress AJAX Proxy & Transient Caching:
    • Routes schema fetches and form submissions (including binary multipart/form-data file attachments) through WordPress admin-ajax.php so your ff_live_... API key stays private on the server and cross-origin CORS issues are eliminated.
    • Caches synced workspace forms and form schemas for 60 seconds using WordPress Transients for fast admin and frontend performance.

Shortcode Usage

  • Standard Native Embed: [formfork id="your-form-id"]
  • Override Theme / Button Label: [formfork id="your-form-id" theme="frosted-crystal" button_text="Get Started"]
  • Hosted Iframe Embed: [formfork id="your-form-id" mode="iframe" height="620"]

External Services

This plugin connects your WordPress site to the FormFork form backend and visual form platform (https://formfork.io).

  • Service Provider: FormFork (https://formfork.io)
  • When & What Data is Sent:
    1. Workspace Sync & Form Builder (WP Admin): No external requests are made until an administrator configures a FormFork API key (ff_live_...). Once configured, the plugin sends your API key (X-API-Key), your site’s hostname (X-Site-Domain), and form schema configurations to https://formfork.io/api/v1/forms when viewing synced forms, testing the connection, or saving a form in the Form Builder.
    2. Frontend Form Rendering & Visitor Submissions: When a visitor views a page containing a [formfork] shortcode, Gutenberg block, or Elementor widget, WordPress fetches the form schema from https://formfork.io/api/v1/forms/{id} (cached for 60 seconds via WordPress Transients). When a visitor submits a form, the submitted field values, any uploaded files, and standard request headers (Origin, Referer, User-Agent, X-Forwarded-For) are transmitted to https://formfork.io/f/{id} (or /api/v1/submit). In iframe mode, the browser loads the hosted form from https://formfork.io/share/{id}.

የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች

Do I need a FormFork account to use this plugin?

Yes. You can connect a free or paid FormFork workspace (https://formfork.io) using either a full Workspace Server API Key or an Agency Domain-Scoped API Key (ff_live_...).

Can I restrict whether a form is edited in WordPress or on the FormFork Web Dashboard?

Yes. Each form includes an Edit Authority Lock setting (Editable Everywhere, Locked to WordPress Only, or Locked to FormFork Dashboard Only). Form deletion is restricted to the FormFork Web Dashboard to prevent accidental removal from client sites.
