Formidable Select OptGroup

Description

This plugin will allow you to create optgroup’s in your select forms. This was created because Formidable does not give the capability to add optgroups, which is just silly.

Future ToDos

  1. If there is interest, I can add the ** flag into the database.
  1. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install from the repository
  2. Activate the plugin from the Plugin menu in WordPress
  3. In your Formidable form, add/edit a Dropdown select box
  4. To create an optgroup, add two ‘s around the name, for example to create an optgroup of Ford, do **Ford
  1. <strong>Admin View</strong> - Quick Edit

  2. <strong>Admin View</strong> - Bulk Edit

  3. <strong>Frontend View</strong> - In action

  4. <strong>Code Output</strong> - Outputted code

    Code Output - Outputted code

  1. What if I want to use something besides two **’s? If you do, just edit the code to fit your needs. I kept this out of the database for speed, but I can add it in the future if people want it.

Fantastic

The plugin is fantastic. It's hard to believe that Formidable doesn't include this natively. Unfortunately, with the latest update of Formidable, the plugin has stopped working. I hope they can update it soon to make it compatible.

Great idea, poor execution

This is an awesome idea, executed improperly. Optgroups are meant to surround the options for which they apply, not to float above as their own option.

Revised after more information given.

Simple, easy and works great

This is a simple plugin that extends the functionality of Formidable by adding the basic element of optgroups. This should be standard in Formidable!

  1. 1.2 Updated for latest Formidable changes
  2. 1.0 Initial Development
