eForm – WordPress Form Builder

eForm (Previously FSQM Pro) is an advanced and flexible form builder that can be integrated into your existing WordPress site. This is a complete form management solution, for quizzes, surveys, data collection, payment / cost estimation and user feedback of all kinds.

With the quick and easy drag and drop form builder, you can build unlimited forms and manage them from your admin dashboard. All submissions are stored in your eForm database, so you can view, track, analyze and act on the data you have captured. A user portal also allows registered users to review and track their submissions.

We have integrated eForm with the best in class e-mail newsletter providers and payment services, for even greater flexibility and security.

The mathematical tools will help you estimate cost and finalize payments. For quizzes you have a separate scoring system, so collect payment before you calculate and show the scoring certificate to users.

This robust and comprehensive form builder is the perfect combination of style and functionality: packed with all the elements you need, while clean and elegant to use.

Drag and Drop Form Builder

With the simple and intuitive drag and drop form builder, you don’t need any coding experience. (But if you know your way around CSS you can enter your custom code directly into the form settings.)

The builder has four sections to help you fully customize your form:

  • Form Settings: Use the tabs at the top to name your form, select a form type and customize the settings. We have included over 30 themes to get you started, and you can also play around with different fonts and sizes.
  • Form Elements: Over 35 awesome form elements are shown in a list on the right hand side. Simply add a container and drag the elements you want to include.
  • Form Layout: On the middle of the screen you can arrange the layout of your form. Add several containers and then drag and drop elements to build your preferred layout. The form builder will automatically save your layout at regular intervals, so you won’t lose any of your changes.
  • Element Settings: Once you click on an form element, the settings will open up on the left hand side of the screen. It can have, appearance, interface, items, validation and logic sections from where you can customize how the form element would work.

Material Inspired Theme

With version 3.5 we have completely reshaped all our form elements with over 38 material inspired themes, which includes both light and dark color schemes.

We even have a customizer from where you can pick your color and create your own theme.

All previous themes has been deprecated and removed. If your forms were using one, it will be upgraded automatically.

We plan to revamp Bootstrap theme and add more skins in future.

Repeatable Element

eForm v3.5 comes with a new form element, called Repeatable Element.

You can use this to give users option to add more “rows” to the form. Every repeatable element can have any number of elements from radio, checkboxes, dropdowns or texts.

Given the option, your users can repeat the grouped elements in any number they want.

Of course we have provided configuration for limiting repeats between a minimum and a maximum value.

Scoring and Ranking System

You can now assign scores and ranks to your users, based on their submissions (for example, for score-based quizzes). Adding score-able elements is quick and easy, and the system will automatically generate the total score for each user. For freetype answers, you can review and manually assign scores so that these can also be taken into account.

You can view the scores and rankings from your dashboard, and you may also choose to allow users to view the results from their portal. Based on the scores, you can automatically assign different designations to users (eg. “rookie” or “expert” etc.), and can configure your form so that a different message is displayed, depending on the user’s score breakdown. This can also be useful for tailoring user notification e-mails, or to send targeted e-mails to users of a certain ranking/designation.

Correct and incorrect answers can be highlighted in the user’s e-mail notification and trackback page, when they review their submission. You can even allow users to download a printable certificate, with the help of the Exporter addon.

WordPress Core Integration

With eForm v3.6 you can let your user login, register, update metadata and/or submit guest blogging from eForm. All of the elements would be themed properly and would look nice and seamless within your website.

The integration registration and guest blogging effectively allows you to let your users register and submit a guest blog at the same time. If the user is already registered and logged-in then eForm would not show the registration fields.

You can also add custom meta values from other eForm elements while doing a registration or simply update meta values for logged-in users. Read more about it here.

With the release of v3.6.2 it is completely possible to create and manage an user profile form which would:

  • Get and Prefill Freetype & MCQ Elements from User metadata.
  • Update User metadata on form submission.

Please read this article to learn more.

Multi-Criteria Conditional Logic

As you add elements in the form builder, you can set their initial state as “shown” or “hidden”. You can then configure your form to be responsive to each user, and new elements can be shown or hidden according to their previous answers.

Simply define each of your elements (eg. as a Multiple Choice Question or Feedback & Upload) and apply your own rules to any element or group. Multiple logics can be combined for more complex personalization.

Conditional logic and conditional validation rules ensure that your forms are smart, relevant and effective, saving you and your users time and collecting the data you really want.

Mathematical Evaluators

We have included a Mathematical Evaluator element, which allows you to calculate complex formulas instantly. You can drag this feature from the elements list in the form builder and add it to your form. Input your own formulas, and the mathematical evaluator will do the rest!

You can either assign numerical values to existing elements (eg. prices for items), or use numerical elements so that the user has to enter or choose a numerical value (eg. a rating).

Smart and Secure File Uploader

With eForm form builder, you can request that users upload files as part of their submission by simply dragging and dropping the file over the form. Every file upload generates a unique identification number, through which further actions can be taken.

The file uploader is fully secure and will not accept any potentially harmful or risky files. When a user uploads a file it is stored in your wp-content/upload directory, and not in our plugin directory, so it is automatically protected by your own security settings.

Cost Estimation & Payment

With the help of eForm mathematical evaluators and numeric elements, you can easily create complex and also simple cost estimator forms. Take numeric values from MCQs and sum it up or enter your own arithmetic formula to estimate cost.

Once estimation is complete, use the eForm Payment System or Built-in WooCommerce integration to collect payment.

Check our demo for a range of cost estimators & payment forms.

Complete Submission Management

All user submissions are stored in your database, so you have complete access through your admin dashboard and can view, sort and/or edit the data any time you want. You can also choose to give registered users the ability to browse and edit their own submission through a portal page.

All forms are submitted securely, and spam bots will always be ignored, so you can be sure that you are capturing genuine feedback/data from your users. For added security, you can add a captcha element from the form builder.

Reports and Analysis

From your admin page, you can view and configure detailed statistics, charts, graphs and graphics to interpret your captured data. Browse submissions in detail, view summaries, and run in-depth reports and analysis using survey analytic tools. You can also export the reports or CSV using the Exporter Addon.

If you just want a CSV of submissions, then with eForm v3.4 you do not need to get the exporter add-on. You can just get this functionality built-in.

Automated Notification E-mails

Our beautiful and responsive notification e-mails are clean and minimalist in design, so you can personalize them to suit your own branding style. Easily change the logo, form header image and e-mail accent color from your admin dashboard.

You can then fully customize the notification message – for example, you may want to thank users for taking your quiz or survey, and let them know how to log in, view their submission, or take another quiz.

You can also set up admin notification e-mails and configure your settings from the dashboard.

eForm is fully integrated with the best e-mail marketing tools: Campaign Monitor, Get Response, Aweber and MailChimp. E-mail addresses are saved in your eForm database, so it’s easy to send targeted marketing to particular groups of users.

It is also possible to hide notification email and show a payment retry link for incomplete or unpaid submissions. This is great for creating paid and certified quizzes.

PayPal and Stripe Payment Options

We have also integrated our form builder with both PayPal and Stripe, so that you can take fast and secure payments. Use the simple toggle on your admin dashboard to enable one or more payment systems, enter a mathematical formula for calculating the total, and set the currency code.

Customize product names, numbers and invoice IDs, and the form builder also allows for custom coupon codes for discounts.

WooCommerce Integration

eForm v3.4 has taken the payment option a step further by integration with the very popular WooCommerce plugin.

With eForm you can modify the price of any existing WooCommerce product on the go (depending on any mathematical element) and automatically add product attributes to the order. The attributes are generated from the variables you have used on the mathematical formula.

Once the form is submitted, the user is taken to the cart or checkout page for completing payment.

Check our knowledgebase to learn how to easily setup WooCommerce integration.

Custom URL Submission

eForm v3.5 now has the ability to send data to custom URLs. You can choose any elements from your form and send its data through a custom parameter of your choice. You can even change the HTTP method to GET or POST. This works good for SSL too.

Default & URL/Meta Based Prefill

Many form elements can now have default values set. These include, single options, multiple options, thumbnails, dropdowns & freetype elements.

Moreover freetype elements can have their state as readonly. You can read more about it here.

Free and Fast Support

We understand that reading through heaps of documentation can be tedious and time-consuming, so you’ll see a help icon beside every element in the form builder to guide you through the features you want to use.

Video tutorials and full support documentation are also available, giving you step-by-step instructions and screen shots, so that you can get the most out of your eForm WordPress form builder.

Requirements

Before purchasing, please make sure your server meets the following minimum requirements:

  • WordPress version: 4.4+
  • PHP version: 5.4+ (Required for eForm v3.3+. PHP 5.2 and 5.3 would not work anymore.). Recommended PHP 7.2.
  • Recommend PHP Memory Limit: 128M or more. But also should work on 64M depending on number of plugins.
  • MySQL version: 5+
  • PHP GD with FreeType font support. (Common for most of webhosts)

Compatibility

Since version 2.x, the pro plugin can work in parallel with the free plugin. However, the pro plugin will not import any data from the free plugin, so if you wish to, you must do so manually. It is recommended that you delete the free plugin before installing the pro, as you will no longer need it.

It is not possible for us to make the plugin compatible with every theme on the market. If your theme has followed the WordPress standard of coding, then this plugin will definitely work.

Some reasons why the plugin might not work with certain themes:

  • Your theme or any other plugin has changed the WordPress default jQuery file.
  • Your theme or any other plugin has changed the WordPress default jQuery UI files.
  • Your theme or any other plugin is including a different copy of jQuery or jQuery UI from its own resource.

Whatever the reason, it is not a standard way to change any of the default inbuilt WordPress files. If the form does not seem to work with your theme, please open a thread in our Support Forum. We will assist you with contacting the developer of your incompatible theme/plugin to fix the problem. We have also published a series of troubleshooters, which may come in handy.
