Real CodeCanyon questions and author answers

I just emailed you, but for the sake of the comments section (and for the sake of getting the quickest possible reply), does the plugin still only support 1 instance per install? I have a photographer that wants 2 - one to allow selecting complete a-la-cart pricing, and one to select packages in sequence (photo package 2, then video package 1, then enhancements package 5, etc).

Mi spiego meglio. Configurato tutto perfettamente, compilo il modulo e infine mi dice tutto ok. Poi controllo nell'account di posta MIA e del cliente che ha inviato e non arriva NIENTE ne a me e ne a lui. PER FAVORE DA RISOLVERE

Hello Loopus , Nice plugin but i want to know one thing that image of the item can be of any size and is there a way we can add quantity option too ????

Hello! I have just purchased the plugin but i can't find the purchase code. There is just a regular licence in my download section. Pls help me! Thanks Best regards !

Does the plugin have a feature for automatic updates to save having to download files from codecanyon on each update? Many good plugins on CC have this feature, might be something to consider for the future if not already implicated. Thanks, Paul

I can't seem to find the license code. I followed the instructions as mentioned when you activate the plugin and go into settings but I can't find the option in envato downloads for the text file. help?

Hello, I would like to buy this today. It is exactly as I want it right out of the box. Does this install with demo content like it shows in the demo, or do you provide instructions how to achieve this exact demo? This is perfect for what I am looking for. Thanks so much for creating it, I have waited years upon years for this.

Hey, great plugin! I think it would make more sense if icons were greyscale by default and then colour when selected - at the moment its quite hard to tell if an item is selected or not as people assume that if it is bolder and more vivid i.e coloured, then it must be selected. Thanks for keeping up the good work.

Wanted to express much gratitude to author's work and commitment. Got some troubles with making the plugin work on a customized WP yoo_venture theme, but, thanks to loopus, the matter was resolved. Thanks again for being responsive! Great plugin, great work!

Just a quick questions: will this be ever available for websites (static ones, self hosted) or is this unlikely to happen. If yes, when approx. will that be the case. I am planning on an upcoming project and this would save me reasonable time. Thanx a lot for a quick response and respect. really well done! Saludos!

Too bad, just my luck. I need exactely this for a normal html5 website! it is the best around and programming this will give me pure headaches :)! Would be awesome to make this available for a greater audience. Saludos!

Would it be hard to modify the scripts to get it going though if one has profound html+ css knowledge as well as VERY basic knowledge in php?

Hi I was just if there is a way to change the color of the selection when made. Right now, when you click it turns to gray. Is there a way to change the color say Red? when selected instead of grayscale? I'd like to start the selections with gray and when the user clicks then it turns to red. Thanks much!

Hello, What is "Color C" used for? It doesn't save whatever color I enter.

Good afternoon. I bought the plugin and when I try to activate using the verification code gives me error (the message continues to appear Purchase Code verification needed) How can I fix this? Thank you. P. D. I run a bit rushed: (

I do not understand what urls ask me: (

Maybe the url from where I requested the code? Thanks!

now is under constructio the web is www.produccionsmc.com I can send a mail with user and password to admin panel...

just send them the email. Thank you!

Hello, Enjoy using the plugin so far and look forward to more updates. I can see updates are released regularly which is great. I have an issue whereby when I make a change to am item it creates a duplicate in the list of items. How do I stop this from happening? Best Regards, Blkdoc

Hi, That's great. Can you add min quantity to the options available for an item?

Another suggestion, same set of options as Item TYPE picture for check box and specifying size size for image used in each item.

I love that you're updating this frequently. It makes me, as a user feel more comfortable buying more of your products knowing it will get attention and support. No complaints or questions, just thought I let you know that you're doing a great job. :)

Hey, Are you planning on integrating this plugin with WooThemes "booking and appointment extension"? Sincerely, Mika

Great, thanks a lot!

Hello, this plugin looks great, but I have to buy whether it is possible to send the budget to the client and the administrator at the same time? Thank you

Have time estimate? sorry, but I'm web designer and a client really wants to use your plugin, but without this field is impossible.

Hello, can you please add a smart way to select a specific product? i have more than 2500 products and without a search is very hard http://prntscr.com/405lfs plus not all products are being listed

HI This the conditional logic we are trying to achieve with this plugin. http://radio.releasemyad.com/view_ad_rate.php Do you think it will be able to solve our purpose. Regards HardWorkPayz

Will it handle the multiplication?

Its very well designed. Feeling really bad it doesn't solve our problem. Any other recommendations that you can provide. Would be very helpful.

Is it possible to set a different image size for different forms? Instead of having one universal setting for all forms?

Great. But is it easy for me to customize now?

What's the latest version number of this plugin?

Never mind, I found it. But WP doesn't tell me when there's a newer version available.

Hi, Presale question - Your latest update says "License Verification System" - what is this exactly? Thanks so much

Hi, Is there anyway I can base my pricing on a number. For example I want my customers to specify a number and then multiplied by the base price to give a total price. Example 10 users x $10 = $100. Also, I know it is possible to display multiple items at a step but can I restrict the customer to select only one item? Best Regards.

Hi, Ok, thanks. Will try that.

Hi Loopus, That is working. Liking the solution. I found a few suggestions that might help make the tool more dynamic and interactive. 1. Add Description field to the step setup. 2. Ability to add Min quantity. As you can see from my screen short http://1drv.ms/TJKRDr, I have price bands and for example if the user wants 201 licenses the user will have click the + button 200 times just to get to 201. It might be a good idea to have a drop down box or a numerical field where the user can enter the number required. 3. Create groups then Drop-down list to select group to associate with an Item. 4. Ability to change the text description and Heading colours. Best Regards

I've seen this asked before but not answered (to my knowledge) Is there a way to allow the user to go back/revise previous steps/answers? I'm looking to use this for an estimation/quote form but did not see a way to go back (without a full restart) in the demo.

Hi, This looks great. A few questions please if I may. 1-Is it possible display multiple prices at the end of the wizard? For example I am looking to use this as a selection wizard for a software subscription but will to display prices for a subscription for 12, 24 and 36 months. Best Regards, Blkdoc

Hi, Yes, but I can't show a final price until all options have been selected then I will like to show the discounts that the customer will get based on the number of years they subscribe.

Ok, so is it possible to start on the first screen or second screen with for example 3 different main products each with different options/item depending on the product selected or do I have to create a wizard for each product with different options?

that's great. But can I start with 3 different products and user selects product 1 for example and gets different options. if the user selects product 2 he gets a completely different set of options from product 1?

Thank you very much Loopus for taking the time to answer my questions. I have now PURCHASED your plugin and will see how it works for me.

cheers :)

Hi can you add an info(?) button? So you can write the product information. That would be great. Thx

Hi How can I change the parameters link? http://mysite.com/estimation-form-my-estimation-form/

I notice that if we disable the plugin (as there was some other plugin conflicts and we needed to troubleshoot), the license key gets erased and we need to enter again. Could you do something about it? :)

Can't you make it like Woothemes' Helper (doesn't get erased when the plugin is disabled), or Yoast's extensions (just need to reactivate, instead of pasting again). I'm sure it's just a simple tweak :)

Btw, I kept getting this on debug. Kindly fix it :) [04-Jul-2014 09:44:20 UTC] PHP Strict Standards: Declaration of Items_List_Table::prepare_items() should be compatible with WP_List_Table::prepare_items() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/WP_Estimation_Form/estimation-form.php on line 35 [04-Jul-2014 09:44:20 UTC] PHP Strict Standards: Declaration of Steps_List_Table::prepare_items() should be compatible with WP_List_Table::prepare_items()

Thanks! Please kindly test the plugin with debug mode and also the Query Monitor plugin next time :) As NewRelic, the server program shows that with high error rate, the server performance is hindered :)

Awesome. Great job!

Hi there is a Problem, with the iPad Air are not seeing all the content and I can not scroll down. before I buy this plugin, can you solve this problem?

now works flawlessly. best thanks.

Hi there! Just wondering if the form can be included in a post as a smaller version of the flat cost estimator? If possible, can you have it via short code, like TablePress? It would help SEO and also sales of your plugin, as content writers would then be able to add multiple cost estimator forms on their posts.

Thanks, but how do we do it without having it take the entire page?

Awesome, means we can add it in our posts as well, and it won't be full screen? :) Will purchase if yes

Thanks! done!

Hi there, I just want to add a comment and say that a date picker option would be amazing with this plugin! If you are already adding this, when will it be available? :-) Sincerely, Mika

Hi there, Great, thanks a lot!! Sincerely Mika :-)

Hi again, Sorry I forgot to ask: Is it also possible to choose a time on the date picker?

Hi, this plugin looks great! I'm planning to buy that, but testing the live preview with ipad landscape mode, even if I remove the top themeforest black frame, I am not able to scroll down in step 2 (Design), I can see the "Retina support" text and i'm not able to scroll down. Can this issue be solved? Can the plugin work into a fixed width template page? Also, is it possible to add a radio button (or add the text under the icons, rather than having the hover tooltip?), it would be better for touch devices so the user doesn't have to click twice on a element. Thanks for your time! Cheers

Thanks Loopus, that's great! Please let me know if I can test a working preview (not the fullscreen preview hosted here).

Pre-sale question: I can assign a step or an item to multiple forms? I have 200 fields and most are repeated in the forms, do not want to write 1000 times. This is necessary to buy the plugin

Pre-sale question: Is there a way to use "conditionals" to show items and steps in another way? IE: " IF user select this item THEN a new step appears" Would be more dynamic. Btw, good job with this plugins, is fantastic.

I can't even begin to describe how excited I am to use this plugin! Beautifully executed! I have a few feature requests . . . 1. Ability to duplicate items, steps, etc. 2. Ability to modify form slug/url 3. When selecting an image item, the grey version of the image is very low resolution. Looks bad on mobile devices (not too noticeable on desktop). Thanks!

Hi! First of all thank you for that plugin! It looks and works awesome! Thank you very much! I have a small question and I hope you can help me out: Right now if I choose "Textfield" in the admin panel it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/j5ZH9F4.png What I need is a "real" textarea instead of just a textfield. The user should have the opportunity to write in more than one line. It should look like this: http://i.imgur.com/ll4NtDN.png Can you let me know what code I have to edit? Also do you plan the option to include an "upload function". For example so that a user can upload a .pdf file or something like that? Please let me know! Regards, Chris

Hello again... Small bug: When I make a change to an item and save, it creates a duplicate of the item.

Hello, My apologies if this has already been asked... Is there a way to show a textfield when a certain image is selected? Example: If "other" is clicked, the visitor will see a textfield to enter specific info.

Hello! Can I use the product with Woocommerce Variable Products? So that the customer can select variations in the steps. For example: Subscription product with variations (weight, color etc). The user selects his choices and the right subscription variation is added to cart based on his choices in the estimation form.

Hi, i need a pre purchase information. It is possible to change at final step Customer Clicks Order Now the action and create in some way a variable with a price for make a checkout? I need something like ?level=1 or 2 depending of the final price results of course

Hi, is it possible to export the generated result into a pdf file?

Hi again, I noticed a while back someone asked about Easy Digital Downloads being added. That would be very helpful if you would add EDD to this plugin. Woocommerce is difficult to configure sometimes and EDD is a better solution for certain applications. So, if you consider EDD that would sure help. You have done a great job with this plugin. You are much more receptive than a lot of other developers. Thanks :)

Thanks :)

Hi, if I import the demo-file I get this error-message: Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /www/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/WP_Estimation_Form/includes/wpe-admin-menu.php on line 1896 Warning: chmod(): No such file or directory in /www/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/WP_Estimation_Form/includes/wpe-admin-menu.php on line 1897 An error occurred during the transfer Please help!

Awesome plugin! Good job done. I have a feature requiest - it will be great if there can be a DISCOUNT section in the plugin, where, if a user selects a particular combination of items in every step, then he/she will get a particular discount, either by percentage or price. For example, if user selects Wordpress (1st step)+Responsive (2nd step) then he will get a discount of 100$. If user selects only Wordpress or only Responsive then there will be no discount. This will be a great addition to the plugin!

Hi! Firsteval, congratulations :) it's a great plugin, very easy to set up. I have a little question : the url on close is not called after the submission. The first page come back. You can see it by yourself : http://www.aureliendebord.com/estimation-de-votre-projet-internet/ See you

Absolutely. I have filled the field : "Call an url on close"

Yes, it works perfectly fine now. Thanks

Is it possible to use conditional logic? Suppose at 1st step there are two options, Web Design and Graphic Design. If user chooses Web Design then a 2nd step comes up and if he chooses Graphic Design then a different 2nd step comes up. If user chooses both then again another different 2nd step appears. Is it possible?.

And I must say, hats off to your effort! Really great plugin with a lot of prospect and possibilities in future. Already it is so very powerful yet simple to use!

Hey Loopus, just wanted to drop in and say you really should be proud of this awesome plugin. Seeing it evolve so much in so little time is a credit to you. I also watch your other one http://codecanyon.net/item/wp-flat-visual-assistant-creator/7981938?WT.ac=portfolio_thumb&WT.z_author=loopus and wondered how well these 2 work together? So for example using the assistant to guide users through the Estimation form? Keep up the amazing work!

Hello, I think there's a bug with the page generated by the form & the form asks me to assign the form (allready assigned) to the page after I have modified the form settings. The generated page title disappear (I think is the source of the bug). (conflict with yoast plugin?) The second bug that I have notice, is when I add a new field et set him to filled required, the fields are not displayed. When the field is set to "none" - fields are back. I'll by happy to have a stable version of the form, 'cause my website is ready to launch ;)

Thank you loopus, seems working now ;) Where can I remove the blog page title added by the form in the beginning of the wordpress title page ?

No, I mean the form generate a page with a blog title and page title like this : Myblog | Estimation form - Myblog, when I edit the page name Myblog | is still there Sry for this detail, but SEO concerned :)

HI Loopus, same as what brianoberg is encountering. I also having trouble to add "Final Fields" in the Forms > Last Step section. Everything is running smoothly except when you add a field (any field), the page on the frond-end will disappear after when you click on the "GET STARTED" button in the Introduction PAGE

ok let me try the update first, thank Loopus

just updated, still the same error. i have sent the login info to you via email, thanks!

i found the error: if I set the field to "Must be filled", then it'll cause the form to disappear after “GET STARTED”. if the field is set to no validation then the form will be running ok, kindly adjust accordingly, thank you.

Yey to Loopus, thank you for your effort :)

Hey, I have problems with the last step where i have the contact form. Nothing else except the button and the text under is showing. I have also tried using gravity form and i have deactivate and activated the plugin several times but the fields are still not showing.

Did you get my URL?

http://digitalsverige.se/rakna-pris/

Did you get my mail?

Yes i sent it to your hotmail. Yes i still have the bug, do you mean the last update that came 2014-06-18 ?

Hi, do you have any 'Sample' estimates that can be imported and then changed on our end to just get familiar with the way it works? Like a ThemeForest theme has dummy data .xml. Just wondering if you have any we can import? Thanks Nick

Few suggestions: Be able to go back, to change things, after getting the final price. When you go back to an option for which you have selected a quantity, the little quantity up/down buttons do not pop up until you remove and re-add. On the last page, when you can add input sections, a calendar date picker would be nice to have available so that clients can easily choose a date. Great plugin, thanks!

Ohhh - also, when you have conditionals on, it messes up a bit when you go back from the page that uses them. Thanks!

Great, thanks!

Is it possible to have something dependent on any one of multiple items? For example, if any of the selections were chosen on the 1st page, then the second page would show up.

Have a small issue, modifying provided imported form. http://reddisite.com/estimation-form-my-estimation-form/ It starts with a $150 initial price...when it should be zero ($0) Thx!

I found my mistake! this is a wonderful plugin!!!

Hi, any plans to add dropdowns and date pickers in a near future? I'd love to use it on a booking website I'm planning. Thanks in advanced!

Awesome plugin! I'm trying to use the textfield to allow visitors to input a specific number. For our concrete business, this would be square feet. The number usually varies from 250 to 15,000. I'm using the textfield with (x) as the operator. When I try to use the form, I am able to input a number (1,000 for testing purposes), but it doesn't multiply the number when I click "Next." Am I doing something wrong?

When a visitor inputs a number for square footage, it appears that the price is required to be a whole number (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) How can I have a per item price of $3.25 per square foot? I see there is a way to increase the number by 1, but it may take a client awhile to get to 15,000.

It is possible to image type, you have the option required? Thanks

yes, Type picture, Image, checkbox or textfield ?

the Type field has the option checkbox Is required? picture the Type field, you may have the option Is also required

how can I integrate it with 2checkout.com does it support? I mean when at final step Customer Clicks Order Now, how will 2checkout generate that value invoice or bill? is it possible?

Hi Loopus, very neatly done! After installing the plugin. I noticed 2 errors. 1) After creating a form + creating an "Estimation Form Page" page with a shortcut assigned [estimation_form form="2349" height="1000" /]. The front-end page displays nothing. It seems the page couldn't refer to the correct form? 2) When after I created a new Form, the top will appear the setup info. However when I click away into Introduction or Last Step tab, the top info quickly turns into "Please assign this form template to a page" regardless of below message has already been shown.. This form page is : xxxxxxx To use this form as popup, use the css class "open-estimation-form form-2" on a link. Example : Launch the popup To launch popup in JS, use method : popup_estimation(2); To use in a page, use this shortcode : [estimation_form form="2349"/] . There are all parameters of the shortcode : [estimation_form form="2349" height="1000" /] Kindly advise where I may have missed, thank you.

Just for further info, 1) is an issue referred to the front-end, where 2) is an issue in the wp-admin

ok sent!

Hi, this is a wonderful piece from the look on the demo. Could you possibly tell me if we could have 2 or more estimations running on a single Wordpress? Also as pr3drag suggested on the conditional item, when do you expect to release that version? I look forward to hear your inputs, thanks!

acheté!

Hello loopus, I too would be very interested if WPML is supported like @pnvmedia asked; if you do add support, perhaps it can be done for your "Assistant" plug-in as well? Also, does "WP Flat Cost Estimation Form Creator" support FontAwesome icons instead as an alternative option to images? Thank You in advance!

Hello loopus, thank you for the quick reply and information - much appreciated! Would you kindly let me know when WPML is integrated?

Hello loopus, thank you! I'll be looking forward to it.

Hello, great plugin, but problem with steps : When I want to display a step depending on item, I choose item, I click on "save" button, but it doesn't work. The menu of "depending item" stays on "None". Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer, but no, it doesn't work : The final cost is displaying instead of my second step. I'm waiting for the update, thanks.

Many thanks. But... The problem is not solved :( The final cost is always displayed instead of the second step. I've deactivate the plugin and reactivate it. I had to write new steps and news items. Doesn't work, sorry...

1) - Is there a way to embed this WITHIN a page so they do not lose the top navigation of the website ? 2) - And there does not seem to be a way for the visitor to get back to the site. Is there ?

When will a shortcode be added ?

Please keep us informed via email. And please send a link so we can see the shortcode in action. Thanks.

I took a look at the demo again and noticed that the animation of the "ball" at the right of the bar s moving in a jerk-ish manner instead of smooth. Did you change the animation settings?

3) - I noticed that the $ sign is at the right of the prices. When it is in USD, it needs to be on the left side. 4) - The closing " X " should allow us to just close the pop-up window, without us having to insert a custom URL that takes the visitor away from the page they were on. I bring this up because we would have the link from a dropdown menu, which means the visitor might access the cost estimator from whatever page they are on, and we would want them to be able to see that same page when they close the cost estimator. Of course if the estimator is going to have a shortcode that embeds it right into the page then I guess this will not matter.

Concerning #4... I bring this up because we would have the link from a dropdown menu, which means the visitor might access the cost estimator from whatever page they are on, and we would want them to be able to see whatever ORIGINAL page that they were on when they close the cost estimator.

Of course if the estimator is going to have a shortcode that embeds it right into the page then I guess this will not matter.

Hi, Can the estimator be integrated on a page, rather than showing a popup? Thanks.

Ok I understand there is no default options. But with coding expertise, Can it be done?

Interesting plugin. Will it work with multiple languages when using WPML? And can I use fortawesome for the images? Thanks

Hey man, just saw that you updated with conditional enabled. I'm going to update it right now to check it out. But I found some few bugs while importing when I updated the plugin after you implemented multiple forms: I had uploaded some icons in my server but in a different location (not in the default "uploads" folder from WordPress). I can export without any errors but when I try to import, it gives me a bunch of errors related to the images from the other folder (the one I created to store my icons). The plugin then change the URL of the images, trying to relink then to the default WordPress "uploads" folder. Can you just put it to save the current URL after exporting and importing? Thanks a bunch!!!

Man, I tried to apply the FADE IN effect when I click the link to open the popup, but didn't work as expected. You told me to change the frontend.css like this: #wpe_frame { top: 0; left:0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }. I did it, but it INSTANTLY fills the screen in white instead of smoothly fading in. I would like it to go from opacity 0 to 1, like the pop up does when you close it (going from opacity 1 to 0). How can I achieve that? Thanks a lot again. ;)

LOL. No. It worked. Damn, I'm feeling like an idiot. I'm feeling like jumping from the bridge right now, lol. Thanks a lot again man!!! My cost estimation page is almost done thanks to you, and it looks GREAT. ;)

Love the potential of this plugin. Very important pre-purchase questions. 1. Does the plugin supports multiple Estimation Forms? 2. Having a step 1 » step 2 » step 3, instead of Price slider could also bring a lot of possibilities/potential to this plugin.

Is this work with drupal? checking via mobile so didn't read it description. Thanks

Oh Okay..don't worry I'll buy this for sure...let me change the cms of my website :) really like this very much...!!! I read that you sent the update to CodeCanyon...so is this updated version now ? Thanks

Great...I hope I'll also change cms of my website till then :)

I think I'm 3rd to say this so now you should add this :) at the final cost screen I would like to have a list of everything in my shopping card based on my choices… and a modify/edit button in case they changed their mind… instead of having to start all over again… Is it possible to add monthly pricing? i.e. Hosting, SSL… If not now, in the future? please add these things and let me know via mail here : [email redacted] Thanks and 101% pre-purchase question as I explained you in my last comments that I'm busy with to change my CMS as I was on Drupal before.

Thanks for add this feature :) just drop me a mail when you add this and available here so I can buy it....meanwhile I'll finish with changing CMS for my website.

any update about these options Sir.... at the final cost screen I would like to have a list of everything in my shopping card based on my choices… and a modify/edit button in case they changed their mind… instead of having to start all over again… Thanks

Great plugin! Love it. How close are you to releasing an update with conditional options (if this, then that)? Also, it would be wonderful if it were possible to add permanently visible brief descriptions under the images. Thanks for a great plugin!

Also - apparently the default text in the forms on the final page (email address, etc), aren't visible on Internet Explorer.

Hi looks like a great plugin but can't seem to use it i tryed to import examples but shows this error: Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/WP_Estimation_Form/includes/wpe-admin-menu.php on line 1706 Also if you look at http://www.directweb.co.uk/take-away-order-form/ and click on Launch the popup it try's but doesn't load. Any idea why this is Thank you

Hi looks nice, does this support shortcode? like to add to a page? I see its pop up, but dont sure if its support shortcode ? I want this to be able to add inside my website , so keeping the side bar.. is that possible?

yes, pop up is good, but I want to keep my menu and header of the page, so it load inside a page, right now its like a page
