I fixed the multisite error in 1.6.16. Also I added nicknames to all field types.

I couldn’t get the same problem to happen on my end. What I did was add an option to the ‘Advanced Settings’ page to use the PHP mailer directly rather than the WordPress mailer. The admin’s e-mail is the first to be sent out, so the fact that the users are getting theirs but not the admin is strange.

There isn’t an easy way to do this, but you mentioned in the other post about actions, and this is something I have been meaning to do but have not. What exactly do you need to tie into?

I’m putting an option to change the e-mail title and subject without using the fully customized e-mails in the next update.

For grabbing the post title, follow these steps:

1. Make a text field in your form
2. Go to the ‘form extra’ and give it a nickname, something like ‘post-title’
3. Make a note field in your form, remove the label, and click the ‘HTML’ checkbox below the note.
4. Put the following in the note:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var txt = fm_get_form_item('post-title');
txt.value = document.title;
});
</script>

If that doesn’t work, (since there might be no jQuery) try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function(){
var txt = fm_get_form_item('post-title');
txt.value = document.title;
}
</script>

Now you will see a text field that has the current page title as the default value.

5. Go to ‘conditions’, and make a new condition. For the three dropdown boxes, select ‘Only show elements’, ‘Never’, and then ‘post-title’.

If you are handy with JavaScript you can try to grab the actual post title rather than the browser title, but since that is theme dependent, there isn’t a surefire way to grab it.

I’ll add nicknames for the rest of the field types.

FYI I noticed you put the CSS into the syle.css file for the form manager plugin. If you ever update, you will have to redo the changes. I would imagine your theme has a way of adding custom CSS that won’t get lost after an update.

I think I only halfway understand you. If you want to have a ‘blank’ label but still have something show up in the conditions editor, you can give the item a ‘nickname’ under form extra. Nicknames are only visible in the back end. This has come up before and I realize this setup is confusing. So that’s one issue.

The labels are stored in the wp_fm_items table, just as a piece of text. The form display template decides what to do with that text, so nothing other than the label itself is stored in the database.

If you want the labels to be positioned differently, by using CSS, you should change the ‘display position’ from ‘left’ to ‘top’. The reason is, the form is always a ‘ul’, but the left labelled version uses tables, where the other way just uses ‘label’ tags and then the input/select/whatever, so this gives you the freedom to put labels on the left, right, etc., same with the content. You can also put HTML in the Label fields in the form editor, and the ‘note’ item type, and use nicknames so you don’t have to see it on the data / conditions page.
