Title: [Plugin: Slick Contact Forms] feature and usage question Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Slick Contact Forms] feature and usage question * Resolved [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/) * I love using cforms II and I’d like to continue doing but I am also looking to have a nice floating/slide out effect. * I was actually looking for such a widget when I found this one. do you maybe have a version where I can alternatively insert my own widget? i.e. you just offering the shell where I can insert any widget I like into? * oh and how about an option to show the text vertically/horizontally? i.e. if adding the form to the left or right it kind of intrudes into the page content…. so if turning by 90degrees this could be solved… * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slick-contact-forms/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slick-contact-forms/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [remix4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remix4/) * (@remix4) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138257) * Hi, * You can actually apply the slide out effect by using the jquery slick plugin. see full instructions on how to use at – [http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-slick-plugin/getting-started/](http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-slick-plugin/getting-started/) * For vertical text this is not possible using standard html. What you can do though is create an image of the vertical text and add it to the tab as a background image in CSS * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138260) * cool, it doesn’t have to be a wp plugin, I think I can use the page you linked to to create my own little thinggy 🙂 * one more question, would it be possible after using that tutorial to create my own widget that slides in containing my own widget, to have a link which would cause it to slide in/out when clicked? * Plugin Author [remix4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remix4/) * (@remix4) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138262) * Probably the easiest way would be to create a shortcode, which wraps the widget area with a div tag. * The slick plugin is pretty easy to use – just wrap the content in a div tag, give it an ID and then declare that ID in the jQuery initialisation code. The plugin then handles the rest * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138263) * I am not sure I explained to well what I was looking for, I’ll try again, or maybe, I didn’t understand your answer 🙂 * I would love to have something like this plugin: [http://www.designchemical.com/lab/demo-wordpress-jquery-slick-menu-plugin/](http://www.designchemical.com/lab/demo-wordpress-jquery-slick-menu-plugin/) but not be restricted to inserting a menu into it. I’d rather insert a widget into it. any widget I like. i.e. another contact form. * THEN, I’d like to call it via a link as you can with that plugin. * or, I could use [http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-slick-plugin/getting-started/](http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-slick-plugin/getting-started/) but that makes me hard-code the div I want to show which would be a manually included contact form or another sidebar but how do I make that one slide in via a link? I don’t see any mentioning of this feature? i.e. have a normal menu structure, one menu point called: contact which, if clicked, slides out a contact form instead of opening a page called contact? * Plugin Author [remix4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remix4/) * (@remix4) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138298) * Hi, * I have updated the slick plugin pages, which now contain the info on how to open using external links – basically just apply the class “slick-open” to any link * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138299) * just checked: the new description says: Toggle the tab open/closed via external links but then it doesn’t mention the class “slick-open” anywhere? we are talking about this page: [http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-slick-plugin/getting-started/](http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-slick-plugin/getting-started/) right? * anyway, thanks for mentioning hte info here 🙂 * Plugin Author [remix4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remix4/) * (@remix4) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138307) * The class can be set by changing the options – [http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-slick-plugin/options/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/?output_format=md#) * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138308) * I’m really sorry man, I didn’t notice the menu on the top right side where I can navigate to: options, examples, download 🙁 * now everything is clear 🙂 * Plugin Author [remix4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remix4/) * (@remix4) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138310) * no problem. hope you manage to get it working * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138311) * will give it a try this weekend, is this the right place to post if I’ve got further questions or shall I do so somewhere on your site? * Plugin Author [remix4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remix4/) * (@remix4) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138312) * On the site is best, in the comments section * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138341) * sorry but I can’t find the comment section on this link: [http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-slick-plugin/getting-started/](http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-slick-plugin/getting-started/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Slick Contact Forms] feature and usage question’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/slick-contact-forms.svg) * [Slick Contact Forms](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slick-contact-forms/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slick-contact-forms/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slick-contact-forms/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slick-contact-forms/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slick-contact-forms/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slick-contact-forms/reviews/) * 12 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * Last activity: [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-feature-and-usage-question/#post-2138341) * Status: resolved
