Where ever you would put the autofill value in HTML, you could put in a [cfdb-value] or [cfdb-html] short code that selects the value you want.
Sorry i meant autocomplete. i have looked on every forum but i can’t find it anywhere.
It looks like this but i i don’t want the options i want to get the values out of the database do you know how?
<input type="text" name="srch" id="srch" list="datalist1">
<datalist id="datalist1">
<option value="Canada">
<option value="China">
<option value="Mexico">
<option value="United Kingdom">
<option value="United States of America">
<option value="Uruguay">
</datalist>
I don’t know how to solve it. I hope you can.
Replace the options tags with a cfdb-html shortcode that generates those option tags.
can you give me an example please? i’m new with the plugin?
<input type=”text” name=”srch” id=”srch” list=”datalist1″>
<datalist id=”datalist1″>
[cfdb-html form=”formname”]
<option value=”${country}”>
[/cfdb-html]
</datalist>
Change formname and country
This is what it displays:

This is my database:
http://prntscr.com/96otwt
And this is my code:
Salesorder:
<input type="text" name="srch" id="srch" list="datalist1">
<datalist id="datalist1">
[cfdb-html form="Contact"]
<option value="${Salesorder}">
[/cfdb-html]
</datalist>
I don’t know what’s wrong with the code.
I find that works for me if I just copy-past and change the form and field name for something I have. It looks like WP is not parsing the short code correctly.
Try pasting the short code again. Be in “Text” mode in your WP editor. Also try putting all of the short code parts on one line with no line breaks.

It keeps displaying this:
http://prntscr.com/96otqk
and i don’t know why…
I hope that you can help me Michael! it would be great if it could work!
Try it with single quotes inside the short code content:
[cfdb-html form="Contact"]<option value='${Salesorder}'>[/cfdb-html]

Thanks Michael, it works now!
Hello have tried the code i am trying to autocomplete with answers previously submited from the same question
example
Food:
<input type=”text” name=”Food” id=”text” list=”datalist1″>
<datalist id=”datalist1″>
[cfdb-html form=”Shop”]<option value=’${Food}’>[/cfdb-html]
</datalist>
i think its because of this error
Error: [cfdb-html] tiene una plantilla vacía. No generará nada.(Opción específica del shortcode)
Empty template. Doesnt generate something
I don’t see the problem. It might be a problem with quotes. I suggest to create the shortcode again from the shortcode builder page, test it there, and paste it on your page.
