Answered One FormIT call with multiple TPL

Hello everyone.

I have a [[formit call on the top of my pages to manage 3 different forms with different fields.
it's working well but I need a tpl for every form.

I was thinking include a <input type="hidden" name="tpl" value="tpl.contactEmail" />

then call it into the snippet: &emailTpl=`[[+tpl]]`

so it should replace the placeholder with the name of the tpl on every form, but obviously is not working.

any ideas?

thank you

Have you considered using property sets?

You could store your tpls in a property set and load your sets "dynamically". I haven't tested this, but it should technically work:

[[!FormIt@Form[[*id]]]]

By appending the id of your form pages to the names of your property sets, you'd end up with unique names.

Why not using three different FormIt calls? To address the correct FormIt snippet with the corresponding form just add the following parameter

+1 for DonQuicky's solution, assuming that you only want to respond to the particular form that was submitted. FormIt will be called three times, but when the submitVar doesn't match, it shouldn't do anything. You will need three Tpl chunks, but you need them anyway to display the three forms (if I'm understanding your question).

Hello Bob, Yes the idea is use only one formit call to manage and submit any of the 3 forms in the page, for example:

Contact Form: name, email, comment

Quick Form: product name, name, email, comment

Order Form: product name, quantity, colour, name, email, comment

- As you can see the 3 forms share some fields like name, email and comment, my idea at the beginning was using the output modifiers into the tpl, eg:

TPL:


So, doing this in my magic world I can use one TPL for all the forms... but didn't work
and I'm not very clear with the treigh's answer about the property sets.

Do you have any other idea Bob?
Thank you very much! [ed. note: Ysanmiguel last edited this post 7 years, 2 months ago.]

Any help please?

why can't you put three FormIt - calls on the page with different submitVars, like DonQuicky and Bob allready suggested?

Another way could be, to create a wrapper-snippet, which runs Formit with different properties, depending of some form-field(-value)s.

Sorry my post wasn't more clear. I meant to say that FormIt will be called three times, but two of those times it won't do anything.
