I am developing a model and talent recruiting website and I need to create a contact button on each portfolio. I would like the model's name to be part of the subject of the message being sent. Can I send the value to a formidable Form? If so – could you possibly give me some guidelines?

 

Thanks

This is only built-in to the pro version. It includes an autoresponder option and a fully customizable email notification. Sorry.

Why Sorry? :-) Thanks for the answer, I just wanted to know that it was possible first. I will give the Pro version a shot.

Steph, I've got the pro version activated on the site now, but I think I am stuck :-) The page I am working on is http://www.maxedmanagement.com…..ls/sandra/

When you click on the Booking info button, you will see the form display. There are still a couple of hickups to solve, but I think I am slowly but surely getting there. For now I am sending the page url as subject with the message, which is okay for now, but I would prefer to be able to send the value of a custom field as subject. My basic questions are :

1) How do I get rid of the background colour behind the submit button? If I remove the BG color value on the settings page, it completely removes the background image as well?

2) How do I send a custom value with the form?

 

I am currently using the "[FORMIDABLE ID="6"]" way of inserting the post on the page, is there a better way which will give me more control?

Thanks so much for all your help!

1. Maybe for the submit button, try setting the background color to #242424 (the same color as the box).

2. For setting a default value, check out this post for an example of the code to use in a new plugin or your theme functions.php:
