Question answered here: https://github.com/BusProject/SalsaPress/issues/46

Ok to answer your questions the best I can:

• Redirection if you’ve got a redirect set up on that Salsa form – SalsaPress will automatically redirect the user after successfully completing the form. There could be better documention but folks wanted the ability to use a redirect – just remove the redirect and it’ll show you the after submit html
• Validation SalsaPress uses Salsa’s validation, which does verify if an email is an email. This appears to work even with the redirect.
• Overriding CSS I would strong advise against modifying the plugin’s CSS (it’s in wp-content/plugins/salsa-press/utils/SalsaPress.css). Every time the plugin upgrades – it’ll overwrite your changes. Just override it with styles that are included in your own theme files.

Finally finally finally (And this is less for you mi327 and more for anyone else who may read this) PLEASE add questions / issues to Github.

WordPress does not email me when your post and it can be months or weeks or maybe even years before I check this forum. It’s tragic.

Be less tragic: use github issues. I even have the same thumbnail for my comments – it’ll feel just like home.

Actually it’ll be v 2.0. Going back through to address some of these other issues – if you’re finding stuff GitHub is a much better place to post issues.

Thanks folks – will start debugging this today.

Ok to answer a few of your questions:

1. Custom Fields: These do not work well on SalsaPress. It’s a bug. I’ll hopefully address it in the future.

There is actually a way to hack SalsaPress to get it to render Custom Fields correctly, there are two arrays ( $diff_fields and $diff_labels) that can override the rendering of fields based on their name.

Check out the code. You could add elements to these arrays with the correct HTML for the form element you want to render. For example adding:

'MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME' => '<select name="MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME" id="MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME" ><option>First</option><option>Second</option></select>'

after line 54 would cause your custom field MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME to render as a select box instead of a simple text input box.

2. Referring Info / Redirect: The forms are set to use AJAX submissions by default and do not redirect – nor do I handle referring information well. I’ve added a bug for referring and redirect.

Sorry Salsa Press doesn’t fulfill these needs for you right now – should be able to add the additional features after the election.

Well I haven’t heard anything from Perna so going to mark as resolved.

Perna,

Sorry I didn’t see this earlier – I don’t get any sort of notification when someone posts here (here’s a better place to post).

First off – Both Jalapeno and SalsaPress are free and don’t (I believe) break each other. So no reason not to use both!

Second – Jalapeno is built (I believe) to work with Salsa’s actions – allowing you to embed information about Actions and Actions into Pages / Posts. SalsaPress is mostly geared towards Sign Up Forms and Events – allowing you to embed embed the forms in widgets and posts.

Third – I think Jalapeno is no longer being actively supported (and I’ve heard from some folks may not be working currently). I try to support SalsaPress off and on – as well as add new features (post Nov 2012). Here’s the list of things I’d like to do with it.

Let me know if this helps!
