Developer Documentation
Customizing Quote Request Form fields
How to Add Fields to the Quote Request Form?
QuoteUp provides a hook ‘quoteup_fields_<id>’ which you will need to use, to add/insert fields in the quote request form. The plugin supports the following fields
- Text
- Textarea
- Radio Buttons
- Drop-Down List
- Checkbox
- Multiple Select
For each field, you can set the field name, set a custom class, add label and a placeholder, mark as required, add a validation with a custom validation message, and a default value. You can specify, if the field value has to be included in the admin or customer email as well. To add a field above or below a particular field, you need to know the field id. The default quote request form has fields for name (custname), email (txtemail), telephone number (txtphone), subject (txtsubject) and message (txtmsg). We have to then create fields, and hook them to the form, by using the filter hook quoteup_fields_<field_id>
Quick Guide: Add a Field to the Quote Request Form
Copy paste the below code in a custom plugin or functions.php of your theme
function quoteup_add_new_field($qr_fields) { $new_field = array( /* the id of each field should be unique, do not include spaces or special characters except _ */ 'id' => '', /* you can specify a class, to style the element, there are two classes provided wdm-modal_text, wdm-modal_textarea, wdm-modal_radio To specify multiple classes, add classes separated by a space */ 'class' => '', /* specify the type of the field: text, textarea, radio, select, checkbox, multiple*/ 'type' => '', /* add a placeholder for a customer making the request */ 'placeholder' => '', /* specify if the field is required ‘yes’ or ‘no’ */ 'required' => '', /* add a message which has to be displayed, if the required field is not filled */ 'required_message' => '', /* specify a regular expression (excluding the leading and trailing /), to validate the field */ 'validation' => '', /* add a message which has to be displayed, if there is an error in validation */ 'validation_message' => '', /* if the value has to be added to the admin email sent, specify ‘yes’ else ‘no’ */ 'include_in_admin_mail' => '', /* if the value has to be added to the email sent to the customer, specify ‘yes’ else ‘no’ */ 'include_in_customer_mail' => '', /* add a label for the field, which will be used to save the field in the database */ 'label' => '', /* add a default value for text field or textarea */ 'value' => '', /* for radio buttons, checkbox, multiple select, dropdown, and select field, specify an array of options */ 'options' => '' ); // ****** IMPORTANT******** // the order of the fields specified will be decide the order in which fields will be displayed $qr_fields = array( $qr_fields, $new_field ); return $qr_fields; } /* replace <field_id> with custname, txtemail, txtphone, txtsubject, txtmsg */ add_filter( 'quoteup_fields_<field_id>' , 'quoteup_add_new_field' , 10, 1 );
Use Case 1: Add a Field Below an Existing Field
Let’s try adding a ‘Last Name’ field to the form, below the ‘Name’. The id of the name field, is ‘custname’.
- We will add a function, ‘quoteup_add_last_name’.
- The field id of the ‘Last Name’ field should be unique, so let’s set it as ‘lname’.
- We have to then hook this function to the filter, ‘quoteup_fields_custname’, so that the last name field is displayed next to the name field.
function quoteup_add_last_name($qr_fields){ $last_name = array( 'id' => 'lname', 'class' => 'wdm-modal_text', 'type' => 'text', 'placeholder' => 'Last Name', 'required' => 'no', 'required_message' => '', 'validation' => '', 'validation_message' => '', 'include_in_admin_mail' => 'yes', 'include_in_customer_mail' => 'no', 'label' => 'Last Name', 'value' => '' ); // ****** IMPORTANT******** // placing the field after $qr_fields, will place the last name, below the name field $qr_fields = array( $qr_fields, $last_name ); return $qr_fields; } /* since we will be adding this field next to the name field, hook the function on quoteup_fields_custname */ add_filter( 'quoteup_fields_custname', 'quoteup_add_last_name', 10, 1 );
Use Case 2: Add a Field Above an Existing Field
Let’s try adding a Radio Button field, for favorite color, above the ‘Subject’ field. The id of the Subject field is txtsubject.
function quoteup_add_favorite_color_options($qr_fields) { $favorite_color = array( 'id'=>'fav_color', 'class'=>'wdm-modal_radio', 'type'=>'radio', 'placeholder'=>'', 'required'=>'no', 'required_message' => '', 'validation' => '', 'validation_message' => '', 'include_in_admin_mail'=>'yes', 'include_in_customer_mail'=>'no', 'label' => 'Favorite Color', 'options' => array( 'one'=> 'Blue', 'two' => 'Red', 'three' => 'Yellow', 'four' => 'Green' ) ); // ****** IMPORTANT******** // adding the field before $qr_fields, will place the favorite color field, above the subject field $qr_fields = array($favorite_color, $qr_fields); return $qr_fields; } /* since we will be adding this field next to the subject field, hook the function on quoteup_fields_txtsubject */ add_filter( 'quoteup_fields_txtsubject', 'quoteup_add_favorite_color_options', 10, 1 );
Use Case 3: Adding a Simple Anti-Spam Field
You can add a simple anti-spam field, by asking a question, which would have an expected answer. E.g., you could ask, ‘2+2?’, and set the validation to 4.
function quoteup_add_anti_spam($qr_fields){ $anti_spam = array( 'id'=>'anti_spam', 'class'=>'wdm-modal_text', 'type'=>'text', 'placeholder'=>'2+2?', 'required'=>'yes', 'required_message' => 'Prove that you are human', 'validation' => '^4$', 'validation_message' => 'The answer should be 4', 'include_in_admin_mail'=>'no', 'include_in_customer_mail'=>'no', 'label' => 'Spam' ); $qr_fields = array( $qr_fields, $anti_spam); return $qr_fields; } add_filter( 'quoteup_fields_txtmsg' , 'quoteup_add_anti_spam' , 10, 1 );
How to Change Existing Fields in the Quote Request Form?
To change an existing field in the form, add a function on the hook of the field you want to change. For example, say you want to make the telephone field required, then you have to do the following:
function quoteup_update_telephone_field ($qr_fields) { $qr_fields['required'] = 'yes'; $qr_fields['required_message'] = 'Please enter a Telephone Number'; return $qr_fields; } /* hook the function on quoteup_fields_txtphone, since we are changing the telephone number field */ add_filter( 'quoteup_fields_txtphone' , 'quoteup_update_telephone_field' , 10, 1 );
How to Remove a Field from the Quote Request Form?
To remove a field, just add a function on the quoteup_fields_<id> hook, and return an empty array.
Note: Do not remove the name, and email fields.
function quoteup_remove_txtsubject_field( $qr_fields ) { return array(); } /* hook the function on quoteup_fields_txtsubject, since we want to remove the subject field */ add_filter( 'quoteup_fields_txtsubject' , 'quoteup_remove_txtsubject_field' , 10, 1 );
