  • cforms version: 7.4
  • Your Wordpress version: 2.3.2

[desc]:

I have several forms throughout my site, and it would be nice if each form could be tracked separately, i.e., each form assigns its own set of ID numbers instead of just using the next available ID number for all of the forms.

Do you think it's workable?


Thanks for all your great work!

I'll put it on the wishlist.

I'm not sure if I understand this request, however I really believe that the forms should be sticking to a fixed unique database ID rather than just a query row number. Currently, it is impossible to delete a form because it will complete throw off every form that is created after it. This is very poor design in my opinion. Deleting a form should not effect the placement of any other form. This really ought to be a high priority. Do you have development open to others to be able to contribute? I do a lot of PHP development in my normal work and I've done a bit of my own WordPress development. Thanks.

That's an area, I haven't looked at in a while and always assumed that people would clean up form tracking before they deleted a form. Despite your priority assumption, this is the first time it has been mentioned.

Deleting a form should not effect the placement of any other form.

Not sure what this has to do with form "placement" though, enlighten me.

Generally: Can you be a bit more specific, so I can attempt to replicate what issues you might see...

I don't know if this is what he means, but if I have 4 forms, and they're being called in various places around my website, what happens if I delete form #2? Will forms 3 & 4 become forms 2 & 3? Will my function calls continue to call the correct forms, or will they be off by one?


I've never tried it, so I don't know what would happen, but that's the scenario that came to mind when reading Tim's comment.

Got it, thanks for clarifying, wasn't sure in which direction you were going with this.

And yes, that may result in an issue where you have lots and lots of form and need to manually double check the other form tags. I'll look into making this more intuitive.
