Integrated form for talk proposals #1

Open miklb opened 6 years ago

miklb commented 6 years ago

reference current form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeeIc0Rd3tvvXAl0TUPekBOeaRN4ZV0P7lCyH62MAM_MT52Xw/viewform

Could look at still using Google as backend to store the info, just have an integrated form on site along with general contact.

If Chris and I can knock something out with the sign-in app using node.js and mongoDB we could modify the code for this current form. I've been watching videos on both and I think with Chris' help I can do it. He didn't like the google forms idea, I didn't press him as to why since I bow to him when it comes to technology.

I'd like to change healthcare on the form to public health - more collaborations happen with public health than with individual health care. I'm going to get involved in the food insecurity project - this would fall under public health.

@meggerc it can be tricky trying to integrate two disparate languages (node vs php) into the website. The form for meeting attendance wouldn't be a problem as it would be a stand alone app.

megcomins commented 6 years ago

I appreciate your feedback... how about I create a form with php? That's more on my level and I don't think Chris is interested in holding my hand while I figure out node.js. if you don't agree, please point me in the right direction.

I guess I'm trying to figure out what you are trying to accomplish. I thought you wanted to work on a sign-in app that was stand alone from the website.

With site being WordPress, there are simpler ways to create the project form and handle validation than writing pure PHP and dropping it in. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of free time right now to walk through the how if you're not familiar with WordPress. I was planning on using Gravity Forms or a front end form using https://github.com/CMB2/CMB2

Thanks for your patience. I don't expect you to hold my hand through this either. :) I've used WordPress and I'll be glad to create either a gravity or front-end form. If it isn't live by the next meeting, we can use a google form until then. Does that sound good?

@meggerc here's some CMB2 code that might help https://github.com/code-for-tb/wp-c4tb/blob/master/metaboxes/project.php Their docs are great https://github.com/CMB2/CMB2

I thought I had a license for Gravityforms but can't find it, don't think it's necessary to buy one, at least IMO.

That plugin is probably the best place for the form code too. That way it is decoupled from the theme if we switch in the future.
