# Generic simple-turnstile shortcode?

 * Hello Elliot,
 * I recently ‘discovered’ your Simple CAPTCHA Alternative with Cloudflare Turnstile
   plugin, did some tests, and I really like it! I think I even found a “hidden 
   feature”: Most of my forms have been made with wpcf7 and I configured the plugin
   with “Enable on all CF7 Forms”. Fine. However, on some forms the Turnstile widget
   should be at a different position than where your plugin puts it (above the submit
   button). I found that I can add an additional shortcode `[cf7-simple-turnstile]`
   at the desired position in such forms. The “automatic” widget is than left out
   on that form and is still shown on the other wpcf7 forms. Wonderful!
 * My question:
   I also have a few other forms that I made myself (not with wpcf7
   or another form plugin) and I wondered if I could somehow use your plugin for
   these forms as well. So I looked into the source code, where I found, in addition
   to shortcodes like `cf7-simple-turnstile`, `mc4wp-simple-turnstile`, `gravity-
   simple-turnstile` a definition for a shortcode simply called `simple-turnstile`.
 * It seems that neither that shortcode nor the function `cfturnstile_shortcode`
   it is replaced by, is used anywhere in the plugin. I also did not find anything
   about it in the documentation. However, I tried it on one of my forms and it 
   seems to produce the right Turnstile code on the website page and to be working
   all right. Can I indeed use that as a plugin feature, or is it part of a still-
   in-progress development, or so?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello Elliot,
 * I am sorry, I should have looked a little further before sending you my question,
   above, about a shortcode [simple-turnstile]. That shortcode and the script it
   generates are more like a starting point for new integrations than a generic 
   integration itself. There is clearly more involved than just adding this shortcode
   to my forms!
 * If it would be possible to provide an instruction of a few steps how to add support
   for a custom form (like: “build a custom version of the function `cfturnstile_shortcode`
   with custom data filled in for the `cfturnstile_field_show` function parameters”,
   etc., that would be nice. However, I can very well understand if, from a maintainability
   and support point of view, you do not want to head into that direction.
 * Best regards,
   Henk
