How to reset custom form fields values after submission?
Hi,
I learnt from following FAQ about how to create and implement custom forms –
https://anspress.io/resources/faq/anspress-form-and-validation-api/
I tested the demo form provided in the tutorial and it’s working as expected. However the form retains the fields values after the form is submitted. I am unable to figure out how to reset form fields values?
- Is there any way to reset the all fields values at once?
- What if I just want to reset any particular field value (for e.g. if I only want to reset Editor field in sample form of above FAQ). [I am particularly interested in this one.]
Edit 1-
As I have posted gist for inserting question programmatically –
https://gist.github.com/atultiwari/4bc9fd36c5fb2a18081762189fd6a347
In that only for testing purpose, I posted a sample custom form with the help of FAQ, I am still unable to figure out how to reset fields entries after submission. Please look into this?
Edit 2 –
I did try the answer posted by Rahul, but unfortunately it didn’t unset. Maybe I didn’t understand some part properly.
@rahul, can you please little bit elaborate. For e.g., my customized form name is – “at_question_form” (with two fields named “post_title” and “post_content”), so I used following code –
unset( anspress()->forms[’at_question_form’] );
Since it didn’t unset out of the box, I thought of all possible places where I could have used this code –
- In the end of function “at_custom_question_form_in_ap”
- In the end of function “at_submit_question_form”
- And soon after generating this form
But, neither of them could unset the form.
So please help me out with this.
Also is there anything like (unset only specific field)-
unset( anspress()->forms[’at_question_form’][’post_content’] );
Thanks.
Regards
Hello Dr. Atul,
Doing it is a piece of cake:
unset( anspress()->forms[’question’] );
Check source code hereĀ AnsPress::get_form().
Unfortunately it didn’t work for me. I have updated my question with the sample form name and field names. Please go through that again . Thanks.
