wpDataTables integration for Forminator Forms

wpDataTables integration for Forminator Forms is an add-on that connects the best WordPress table plugin wpDataTables and easy-to-use WordPress form builder Forminator.

A powerful tool that adds “Forminator Form” as a new table type in wpDataTables and allows you to create responsive, sortable tables & charts based on Forminator Forms submissions from your site frontend using intuitive wpDataTables table and chart wizard.

You will need to install wpDataTables and Forminator plugins to be able to use this integration.
This great integration is compatible with wpDataTables Premium version and Forminator PRO and their advanced features. You can use any combination of these two plugins. Isn’t that awesome?

When the form/quiz/poll is created and entries are ready, you can begin creating a wpDataTable based on it. First, go to wpDataTables -> Create a Table, choose “Create a table linked to an existing data source” option, and click “Next”.

Then choose “Forminator Form” as the Input data source type. After you choose “Forminator Form” as a table type, a new select-box “Choose a Forminator Form” will appear. With this select-box, you can choose a form, quiz or poll, that will provide entries as data for your new table.

After this step you will see a select-box “Choose fields to show as columns” that allows you to choose the form/quiz/poll fields that you will use as columns. Using this select-box, you can choose form fields that will be used in the table.

Furthermore, you can choose which form fields will be shown in the table.

Here is the list of the supported form fields:

• NEW! Slider Field (Single and Range)
• NEW! Group Field
• Name (Single and Multiple)
• Email
• Phone
• Address
• Website
• Input
• Textarea
• Number
• Radio
• Checkbox
• Calculations
• Select (Single and Multiple)
• Datepicker (Calendar, Dropdowns, and Text input)
• Timepicker ( Dropdowns and Number input)
• File Upload (Single and Multiple)
• Post Data
• Hidden Field
• Currency
• PayPal
• Stripe
• E-Signature (only available in Forminator PRO)

Please note that fields like reCaptcha, HTML, Page break, Section, and GDPR Approval are excluded from tables.

Important: For all form types that you want to create tables (form, quiz, or poll) you will need to have submission data for those form types in the database. That means that you need to turn off the option “Disable store submissions in my database” on Data Storage settings in the Forminator plugin. You will be able to save submissions in the database and then create a table in wpDataTables.

Forms

When you create a table from Regular form, in table column headers will be used names of your fields, and each row will be shown as a separate submission. Common fields such as Entry data, Entry ID, and User IP are available for each form.

Fields like “Name (Multiple)” and “Address” will be formatted like on the Forminator forms Submissions page.
If you want to show those data in one line with space between without formatting, you can use hooks for “Name(Multiple)” like in the following example:

// Remove formatting from Name (Multiple) fields
// $removeForminatorFormatting- false by default - bool
// $formID - Id of the form - int
function remove_style_from_name_multiply_fields($removeForminatorFormatting, $formID){
   // Example for the form with id 1
   if ($formID == 1){
    // Provide true to remove formatting
       $removeForminatorFormatting= true;
   }
   return $removeForminatorFormatting;
}
add_filter('wdt_forminator_remove_style_from_name_multiply_fields', 'remove_style_from_name_multiply_fields', 10, 2);

and for the “Address” fields as well you can show the data in one line separated with a comma using this hook:
