    Dear Jerry,

    Thank you for reaching out to us!

    As Connor mentioned, you can achieve what you want by using the Forminator API.

    I see my colleague has created a plugin for you in the past which seems to work by adding the entry id to the redirect URL specified in the form settings.

    However, you would need to process that ID on the target page to extract data from the submission and display it. Which means you will need further custom development as well.

    I added a shortcode to the script that does just that. You can see a basic working example here:

    https://jonjon.wpmudev.host/2020/03/06/redirect-form/

    So I am sharing the script I used below of how you could use the Forminator API get_entry element in a shortcode(see attached image) and execute it in your target page to display the entry data. Please note that you will need quite some work to show it exactly as you want, but that is how it goes.

    Here is the link to our documentation: (https://wpmudev.com/docs/api-plugin-development/forminator-api-docs/#method-get_entry)

}
 
// Output needs to be return
return $message;
} 
// register shortcode
add_shortcode('showFormResults', 'show_form_results');

    Hope that helps and please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks Jonjon!
    I changed this 

    private $form_id = 92;//enter form_id here
			private $redirect_url = 'https://jonjon.wpmudev.host/2020/03/06/redirect-forminator-results/';
			//enter your redirect url here, it must be match with the link you added on the form

    to this

    private $form_id = 1986;//enter form_id here
			private $redirect_url = 'http://nfk.jml.one/resultaat/';
			//enter your redirect url here, it must be match with the link you added on the form

    I changed this 

    $form_id = 92; //ADD YOUR FORM ID
$entry_id=28; //ADD YOUR DEFAULT ENTRY ID, USE $_GET TO EXTRACT VALUE FROM URL

    To this

    $form_id = 1986; //ADD YOUR FORM ID
$entry_id=$_GET; //ADD YOUR DEFAULT ENTRY ID, USE $_GET TO EXTRACT VALUE FROM URL

    And added [ShowFormResults] to the page.
    But I can’t seem to get it to work.

    The plugin file name is forminator-add-entry-id-to-redirect-url.php and it is in the mu-plugins directory

    In the form the redirect url is http://nfk.jml.one/resultaat/

    What am I doing wrong?

    Many thanks!

    Dear Jerry,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    I noticed that indeed your shortcode and entry_id in link was not working so I connected FTP and found out why. The problem was your folder was named mu-plugin and it should be mu-plugins for WP to recognize it. I changed that, and now it is picking up the shortcode and adding entry id to redirect URL of your forms. (Please see screenshot below)

    [attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

    I also went ahead and copied the result table and edited the values for you, to help you with the results table on target page. I changed the code for that as below:

    
 
$form_id = 1968; //ADD YOUR FORM ID
$entry_id=33; //ADD YOUR DEFAULT ENTRY ID, USE $_GET TO EXTRACT VALUE FROM URL

//IF URL  CONTAINS ENTRY_ID 
if(isset($_GET['entry_id']) && $_GET['entry_id'] >0) {$entry_id=$_GET['entry_id'];}
 
$entry = Forminator_API::get_entry( $form_id, $entry_id );

$array = json_decode(json_encode($entry), true);

$data=$array['meta_data'];

$result='<style>  
table {
	background-color:#174A5C !important;
}
table tr:nth-child(2n+1) {
   background-color:#174A5C !important;
}</style>
<table class="testResult" style="width: 80%;margin:15px;">
<tbody>

}

    Hope that helped and let me know if you have any further doubts.

    Many thanks Jonjon,
    And apologies for the typo! I tested it and it worked! It is outputting the data.
    This said I should change the entry Id with $_GET to get the variable value but that doesn’t work yet.
    $entry_id=33; //ADD YOUR DEFAULT ENTRY ID, USE $_GET TO EXTRACT VALUE FROM URL

    I changed it to this
    $entry_id=$_GET; //ADD YOUR DEFAULT ENTRY ID, USE $_GET TO EXTRACT VALUE FROM URL

    Anything I have to change or do differently?

    Many thanks,
    Jerry

    Hi Jerry,

    No need to change that line. The line below that is the one verifying if a $_GET[‘entry_id’ ] is set and putting that value in the correct variable, in this case $entry_id. That value 33 is just a default value of a submission we know exists. But you should handle the case when no entry_id is provided in URL as well. So you can leave those three lines just like this:

    $form_id = 1968; //ADD YOUR FORM ID
$entry_id=33; //ADD YOUR DEFAULT ENTRY ID IF you desire so.

//IF URL  CONTAINS ENTRY_ID 
if(isset($_GET['entry_id']) && $_GET['entry_id'] >0) {$entry_id=$_GET['entry_id'];}

    I went ahead and changed it back for you okay?

    Hope that helps.

    With Best Regards,
    Jonjon

    Hi, I wanted to ask if it is possible to get the description of a radio box. I can get the label with $data[‘radio-3’][‘value’] but not the description. How would I do it? I’ve tried also $data[‘radio-3’][‘value’] [‘description’] but this gives a value back “E” where it should give a percentage back (100%, 80%, etc)

    Thanks!!

    Hello Jerry !

    The default API when using Forminator_API::get_entry method doesn’t return the option names, only the selected value like this (output of the returned Forminator_Form_Entry_Model object from var_dump):

    ["radio-1"]=> array(2) { ["id"]=> string(1) "5" ["value"]=> string(3) "one" }

    However, you can get the descriptions by using another method, Forminator_API::get_form_field – https://wpmudev.com/docs/api-plugin-development/forminator-api-docs/#method-get_form_field :

    Calling: 

    $form_id = 123;
$field_id = 'radio-1';
$to_array = true;
$result = Forminator_API::get_form_field( $form_id, $field_id, $to_array );

    For my form this returned an array and I could print the field options by accessing following items in the array:

    foreach($result["options"] as $option) {
    echo $option["label"];
}

    The $result[“options”] array is int-indexed array of arrays that contain the following fields, each:

    $option[“label”] – name of the option displayed to visitors
    $option[“value”] – the actual value of the option when selected

    Hope this helps!
