Wordpress Plugin: GK Form Contact Saver
Today I present to you another wordpress plugin - GK Form Contact saver, which allows any wordpress solution to obtain the capability to save the data from front end forms via AJAX script.
Purpose of the plugin
The plugin can be used as an alternative means for standard POST and GET form submissions, through using AJAX to send over the form data values to be stored into wordpress posts / Contacts. The plugin can also be using as a sure way to save filled data if the visitor also decides to leave without submission, post cofirmation.
Data will be stored within a custom post type that we created for this purpose, called contacts (wordpress internal name would be gk_unload_contacts)
Coding the plugin
As a standard wordpress plugin, again the language used was PHP. The front end functionality relies on the custom form data as provided by your custom form, but needs to adhere to the form values supported by the plugin.
Storing database values is also via standard wordpress interfacing functionalities. Standard functionalities used for data storage include wp_insert_post for creating the initial entry, but also add_post_meta to insert individual custom values into the post.
Utilizing the plugin
The plugin's functionality is hidden in the back end, and relies on the form created by the user as highlighted above. Yet the outcome of all the data being saved is visible under the contacts custom post type which is accessible via the left menu tab
The screen for the actual data would have the following header
Further details will be shed on the plugin in the official documentation once released.
Downloading the plugin
The plugin can be obtained from the official GitHub repository
Being the sole contributor (and creator) of the plugin, there are currently no branches/forks/gists/pull requests, and all the code is openly accessible via above link.
Feel free to check it out, and let me know should you have any questions :)
