About Dynamic Input For WPForms

From the official readme · v1.0.0

Description

Dynamic Input For WPForms is an addon that allows users to add dynamic and hidden fields to their WPForms.
This addon provides powerful options for pre-filling fields, passing dynamic data, and customizing input values on the fly.
Ideal for developers and marketers who need to personalize form interactions without manual input.

Features:
– Add hidden fields with dynamic values.
– Pass URL parameters into form fields.
– Auto-populate fields with post data, user data, or other custom values.
– Enhance WPForms functionality with minimal effort.
– Simple and lightweight, with no unnecessary bloat.

Included Shortcodes:

Add Dynamic Text or Dynamic Hidden input field.
Then edit field options > Advanced > Default Value.
Finally, add correct shortcode.

  1. [dfxa_get_url]
    Retrieves a current URL.
    Usage: [dfxa_get_url]

  2. [dfxa_bloginfo]
    Retrieves WordPress site information, like site title or description.
    Usage: [dfxa_bloginfo key="name"]
    Example: Outputs the blog’s name based on the provided key.

  3. [dfxa_referrer]
    Displays the referrer URL (the page the user came from).
    Usage: [dfxa_referrer]

  4. [dfxa_post_var]
    For pages that use a WP_POST object, this acts as an alias for dfxa_post_var so those attributes work here as well.
    Usage: [dfxa_post_var key="title"]
    Example: Get the page title

  5. [dfxa_post_meta]
    Fetches custom post meta for a given post ID.
    Usage: [dfxa_post_meta post_id="123" key="custom_field"]
    Example: Retrieves the meta value stored under custom_field for post ID 123.

  6. [dfxa_GET]
    Retrieves GET parameter values directly from the URL.
    Usage: [dfxa_GET param="id"]
    Example: If the URL is https://example.com?id=42, the shortcode will output 42.
