Great plugin! It would be super awesome if we could set conditional items - like for example: if item 1 is chosen, display step 2. Otherwise display step 3.

I just noticed that your plugin does not work if W3 Total Cache plugin minify options are enabled. Can you look into this, please? Thanks a lot.

I disabled the Minify option for now and it's working fine, but the popup opens just 1 time. When I close the popup and try to open it again, it doesn't open. Also, after I close the popup, it slighty increases my website width, creating a very small horizontal scroll. Can you look into that, please? This is my website: http://skfotografia.com/ The link to open the form it's below the text and button at the bottom bar, called "Teste".

And how can I change the way the popup window open? I would like ti to fade in just like it fades out when I close the popup. I prefer it fading in than growing in.

Here are some screenshots to help you understand: http://skfotografia.com/diversos/imagens/2014.06.13-wp_cost_estimation-bug-001.png http://skfotografia.com/diversos/imagens/2014.06.13-wp_cost_estimation-bug-002.png http://skfotografia.com/diversos/imagens/2014.06.13-wp_cost_estimation-bug-003.png

Thanks for the updates man! I found another issue though: - IF you set 2 different groups of items inside the same step and the items have quantity enabled, you can't set the quantity of the last checked item. Here is a screenshot to show you the issue: http://skfotografia.com/diversos/imagens/2014.06.13-wp_cost_estimation-bug-004.png

Also, it there a way to CHANGE the position of the currency? Here in Brazil where I live, the Currency symbol comes BEFORE the value, not after. Like this: R$ 300 Thanks a lot again man! You are awesome. ;)

Have you provided detailed support docs for using with Gravity Forms or WooCommerce?

I was going to come here to ask how to change the switch label from on and off to yes and no. The label is easily in the WP_Estimation_Form/assets/js/bootstrap-switch.js Edit at your own risk, always backup your files. This plugin is unique and amazing, sure to set me apart from the crowd. Can I use it on my home page without having the popup. I'm allergic to things that fly around on web pages...

Can you please just tell me how to call it by php? I can't figure out the code that gets tossed in the automatically generated page. I know it will mess with the styling because that page has it's own CSS header separate of the wordpress site. I'll worry about the styling and responsiveness.

ok, I was able to get it in an iframe but I figured there was a simpler way to call the form onto a page.

Thanks for all of your help. My suggestions to add to future versions are the option to have sliders for price, eg. Number of hours 0-12 with defined prices for each increment. Next would be the option to show savings, like a defined discount amount for a selection. I also like the idea for showing all the selected options at the end for review. Thanks for an awesome plugin, there is really nothing similar to this on the web. Great job!

Also, for the sake of visibility, I'm not sure that gray on gray is the best choice. I'd like the option to change the background and font colors from the admin panel. I'm sure I'll have no problem finding it in the CSS, but it would help future users.

you know what, I'm stumped. How can I darken the text above each checkbox and the stepbox title?

Ok, you win the award for most helpful and fastest to respond developer ever. Thanks. The plugin looks great on my site now.

Now that I'm playing with the images, the tooltip isnt working. It just shows up under the page in big bold font. I don't really need the tooltip, can I disable it? Or do I need to change something to make it work?

I pm'd you the address of the site

Can you do a custom for like this for open cart? And what is your hourly USD Rate? Thanks, Jay

Ok Thank you for your time. Please contact me if you are available for freelance at some point in time. And good luck with your sales I know you will do great. Thanks for the quick response as well.

Just saw that you have updated the plugin, since it's showing up june 11th in updated. What did you change? ;) I'm curious and anxious for multiple forms. LOL.

Man, you are awesome! Can't want to see conditional forms. I am sure soon enough this item is going to be featured by envato. You deserve it.

Ops, I can't wait*. LOL. Looking forward your next update.

Just upgraded to the latest version. Any time I try to make a new step and save it, it says it's saved but it's not in the list of steps. Also when using the imported data there are still no steps and just a blank page when I go to my estimator.

That worked.Thank you very much.

nice, but in final page not show a resume? 1 like a $1650 / 1 db, mobile, wordpress, flat 3 confirm or restart 3 after, show a form to put email and send. ps: the choises go inside email, correct? tks

Hello, Do you have a javascript version of this.? Thanks

Yes an xml configuration file would be appropriate. It would be easy to manage. It's a really good scripts and I know it's going to do well with the javascript version.

Thanks. Even if there isn't much people that are interested, what would be the price for a custom javascript version?

Ok no problem. I guess I'll wait.

Is it possible for us (as admins) to control the fade in rate of Steps and Items? If I turn on the feature "Add selected items to cart" for WooCommerce integration and then go through the estimation process the last step button says "Order My Website". When clicking this button it just loads the "Thanks" message and re-directs back to the "Get Started" screen. It doesn't forward the user to the WooCommerce cart where their items are being held. This process should auto re-direct the user to the cart where their items have been placed otherwise these users will have no idea where to go when they are done using the estimator; they'll end up thinking an order has been placed when it actually hasn't. Additionally when we create a new step or item it would be convenient to have a "Add New" button at the top of the page (beside "Edit a step" or "Edit a item") so that we don't have to go back to either the Steps or Items Lists just to add another step/item.

Is it possible to ask for their email first, something like "Where should be send your quote?". The reason is that when visitors are using the tool we will have their contact info just incase they dont follow through. Also, is it possible to save all the entries even if the visitor didnt submit the quote? If its NOT possible, please let me know what I would need to do so that I can buy the plugin and hire a developer. Great plugin! Thanks.

Can you create conditional fields...if User selected this option show form fields according to user's previous input/selection? This truly is looking very potential plug-in, good luck!

Looking forward to that. I think your plug-in will be the obvious choice. do you have an idea when although I will keep an eye here :) Another point not sure if anybody mentioned before but how about integrating with Google Analytics in order to be able to track conversions and ones that did not convert. Each step should be able to define as goal accordingly

That is the winning attitude, willingness to listen and consider feedback of users. I congratulate you and wish you good luck with this great plugin ! When it comes to building conditional forms where price changes accordingly...there is no straight forward solution/plugin (especially with gravity forms, not easy to setup conditional forms with price attached to fields). This feature should attract even more buyers. implementing Analytics will raise the bar even more with professionals therefore again increasing potential of getting even more buyers who are concern when it comes to conversions I trust many you find many valid reasons to consider implementing. I just hope that will happen sooner than later :)

I'm unable to add custom field. "error, try again later" & settings are not saved when I add the url on close button

OK thanks, theres a bug with the images url generated by the backup add double source of the image http://www.monsite.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-content/uploads/buy-64.png (all my files are in the uploads folder)

Hi, I use the template page to use your plugin. I if click on the cross to close the popup, i looping and stay on the popup! How can i change the close button to add a special link ? Thx

Oops! Sorry I had not seen! thank you

Hi This WP plugins support radio field of Gravity Forms? I have complex form with more conditional logic dropdown field , its' possible transform at once to radio field, but for making chekbox field you must rewrite all singly . Its very complex!

I want to use your plugin only if you have the graphic interface your plugin in ALL step of the forms with gravity forms. It's possible? Please, you publish a demo with gravity form to understand how it works?

2 issues: 1. I use Autoptimize. It optimizes CSS, among other things. Unfortunately, when set that way, your plugin won't work. All styles are gone. 2. Top right, once the estimate has begun, I can't click to exit the form. 3. I've asked this already, but I'll just combine everything here.... Can we have more than one estimator per website?? For example, I may want a simple website estimator... and perhaps one for something else entirely. This is important, because I'm not going to have all of my estimator forms looking different.

Hello After i created several items in the same group, i can only select one item at the time when i run the system in the front end. It`s impossible to select more than one item at a time. What can i do? Best regard Dany

Any clue why this would happen, its set as a page template. http://www.monumentlimited.com/cost-estimation-form/

Whoop whoop - GRAVITY FORMS!!! Thank you for listening! Can't wait!

LEGEND!

is it possible to add multiplying there? Fore example – I have extra charge for some percentage – let’s say 15%. Is it possible to add 15% automatically while estimation process. Can you tell me if you have any plans to add a field, say for example an area in metres or feet that would produce a result. I was thinking along the lines of a landscaping quotation where there is a price x sq. mtr (or feet, or something like that?) I would add to this that the calculated for my purposes would be a number field, which I can place a value to for adding or multiplying based on a selection of additional radio button fields. Example: I have three different options of delivery time: 5 days @$1.25 3 days @$2.50 1 day @$3.75 (that would be the radio buttons.) Then the numbers field would have an editable value on the backend of say 1 and on the frontend the customer could place a number in that field and the multiplication would give them the total price. So, I would have one step where the customer selects the time and inputs a number and they are multiplied giving the result that will be in the woocommerce order. I hope that is stated clearly. Great plugin.. I am really happy I purchased it. Thanks

Thank you.. The woocommerce addition is great. I hope you will add that and I will be pretty much set.. :) That has been the one missing key for me.

Never mind, I can use this one for another project. Great work though.

Having purchased it, I look forward to it having more flexibility. You are welcome.

Purchased after seeing that WooCommerce Integration had been added. I would say right now that WooCommerce and EDD (easy digital downloads) are the top two shopping cart systems for WordPress. +100 for Gravity Forms for the default contact form; or even an option for admins to set the plugin to use GF instead of the default forms. Gravity Forms gets installed on every client project that comes in the door (it's exceptional and very flexible) and myself and my clients love it.

Holy damn, this looks awesome! I just notice a bug when I was at the demo though: If you click the button that shows up the pop-up while scrolling down the main page, the modal window doesn't fill up the entire browser window. If the user scrolls the main page too fast, it even hides the CLOSE BUTTON and might even hide the title, making it "impossible" for the user to close the modal window, unless he reloads the page. Could you fix it please? Here is a screenshot of this minor bug: http://skfotografia.com/diversos/imagens/2014.06.07-wp_flat_cost_estimation_form_creator-bug-001.png Also, I have some suggestion so your plugin can skyrocket in sales: 1) Can you make it conditional enabled? 2) Could you create a toggle to show/hide the cost estimator bar, so it can show the cost only at the end of the quiz? I ask you this because I'm a photographer and I don't want my visitor to actually see the cost rising before they finish the quiz. Depending of what service my visitor is trying to estimate the cost for, they might close the quiz before finishing it, you know? The cost might scare them before completing it. Lol. 3) It would be AWESOME if you could implement some kind of quote ID generator at the end of quiz and if could show in admin panel also. Some of my visitors might want to note down this code for contacting me later on about the cost and with this ID I could easily find the quote. Man, this is by far the BEST cost estimator I have seen in envato, and the price is really fair. If you ever come with these suggestions I've made, I'm sure you are going to sell a unique cost estimator plugin in envato. Good luck with sales and great piece of work.

There is also a limitation here: I can only make 1 quiz. Since your plugin doesn't support conditional yet, it would be GREAT if you could enable MULTIPLE forms. This is extremely necessary for me (and I'm sure for other photographers too) because I want to separate some photography services like: wedding photography, social events photography, sports photography, pregnancy photography etc.

Congrats on a very nice plugin! Does it work with font icons or is it just image uploads at the moment. Obviously for retina devices font icons are a better choice.

Hi before I buy you can make the following adjustments? 1. fixend Clos Button 2. back and front arow navi Thx Edward

Hello, you can transform this model into an online questionnaire that style? If the plugin for easy modification and understanding I'll buy it.

Hi, Model questions and answers. Appears a question, and then answers user loads the next question, and so on. At the end of the quiz the user receives a message of thanks.

Thank you, my friend. I'll be making the purchase soon! Thank you. One more question, the answers of the quiz can be stored in the database?

Understood. Thank you.

This is magnificent! His willingness to help and solve problems is something encouraging. Thanks again and I ended up making my purchase. I wish you success!

I REALLY REALLY like the look of this plug-in. Can you tell me if you have any plans to add a field, say for example an area in metres or feet that would produce a result. I was thinking along the lines of a landscaping quotation where there is a price x sq. mtr (or feet, or something like that?) Added to favourites just in case, this is one of the most promising plug-ins I have seen for a while. Best of luck with it!

Hey Loopus, I know you have taken on board lots of ideas already, so here is one more ;) Using this in Woo mode as a gift creator - at the moment there are 3 items per screen shown. How about a carousel? or even better If the plugin could use Woo Commerce tags to pull in the relevant product items and then show a larger range that is filterable on the fly using this http://isotope.metafizzy.co/filtering.html method, well it would make the user experience really great?? Also regarding Gravity Forms, they released this really good article here http://www.stevenhenty.com/gravity-forms-platform-tutorial/ might be useful ;) Keep up the great work!

I see your point. :) so maybe for this to work well it could offer ability to set max products shown - and so then when adding products to Woo the site owner could be aware that say 20 would show only and so they should only tag products with the special Loopus tag to show in that category? just an idea. thanks for the reply!!!

Hi, how can we add one field to the end where is client's email asked? Would like to ask phone and name also..

Thanks for a quick reply. Rated 5 stars.

Awesome. Update by just overwrite files?

Is it possible to include textfields?

Well, besides previous question - is it possible to add multiplying there? Fore example - I have extra charge for some percentage - let's say 15%. Is it possible to add 15% automatically while estimation process. But anyway - man - you created revolutionary stuff. I believe, if you will add some more functionality and customization - you will become a star!!! This is something really new and fresh!!!!

Hi, 1) is it possible to add math to this form. Like - i have the price + commission + tax + shipping cost (related to the weight) and finally customer gets the final price. 2) Is it possible to change popup size? Thanks

Any plans to allow us to place our estimation form on a page via shortcode? I know I can modify the template to look like my theme but allowing us to display the estimation form inside our existing pages (keeping our headers/menu's/sidebars/footers etc.) would be ideal. :)

Hello, this looks promising :) One question about a previous answer: "Then, probably the final screen that summarizes the selection (and changes on the fly)." Is the choices displayed with images and price summit and is it possible to send/share it by email or by Facebook, Twitter...

Thanks for quick answer! Looking forward to follow the developing of this plugin, have good potential! Probably buying it soon :)

Text fields? Do you mean drop down options from a list that is predefined? If not, would this be possible? And if so could it also feature conditional logic fields that alter the next option/steps based upon what is selected? Oooooh I'm intrigued to know more.

Hi there, I really love this plugin!!! One issue, I installed the new update and now when I go to Add New Item, I see a blank page. Add New Step works fine, but that has a small issue as well. When I am editing a step, I see Add New Step but no button to click on. If we can get these bugs fixed, we're gold!

I will try that. Thanks for the quick response.

One more thing, when going through the steps on the front end, there is an X to cancel the process but since it is auto activated, you really can't X out of it. There should be an editable button option that can be linked to a desired page. Here is my page... http://evokegraffix.com/cost-estimation-form/

Awesomeness!!!

No go, I deactivated and reactivated but ADD ITEM still gives a blank page. All issues still the same.

will do

Sent the credentials via your profile. Email is from [email redacted]

Fantastic! thank you!

Thanks for WooCommerce support. Loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I have bought this plugin last weekend. I love the idea, however I can't get it to work. All I see is a blanc page! Any idea why this happens? The installation went ok and I even reinstalled and installed it again. the result stays the same.

Oeps that's a quick reply! Yes I have installed the latest version. I sent my details via your profile. Sender is [email redacted]

Any plans on having this work with easy digital downloads [EDD]?

EDD has its own shopping cart, similar to woocommerce is there a plan to add this shopping experience as well?

Also didn't mean to be so anxious with the questions...this is a extremely awesome software that is truly needed...great job

Really love this! Just trying to think about how I can get the most from this - I love the Woo integration. Gravity Forms is really great because of its conditional logic options and flexibility with custom fields too - I wonder if making this the default contact form option in your plugin would open us up to even more potential!! Passing data from your plugin to Gravity Forms would open up lots of possibilities - I especially like the Grav Forms admin which keeps a track of submissions as well as their range of add ons for other cool stuff - OMG I need to have a think of how these can play well together and what I could then do with the power of both ;)

+1 for Gravity Forms Integration! WOW this looks AWESOME!

Your design is amazing! Just a thought but if you added a widgetised area on the summary screen then people could use other plugins to share on Social, Offer signup to MailChimp etc. Having those part of the plugin though would also be magnificent!! So excited to see this gain momentum!

+1 for WooCommerce integration. Not sure if it's possible but integrating with Gravity Forms would also be neat. Got the product bookmarked and will keep watching updates. GLWS! :)

Hi Great plugin but one thing that I have noticed for example if you change CMS step to say Content management System (as not everyone will know what CMS stands for) The title goes onto 3 lines and overlaps the images. How can we adjust the titles so they stay on one line? Thanks

will do thanks

Bravo for woocommerce integration!

I have some problem. There's no any scroll bar on the side of popup. So, i can't scroll it down to see "next step" button(or previous step button) and by the same problem, can't fill the contact form on the last step, because i can't scroll down popup window to see a whole text area.

Thanks) I got it, re-install it , reactivate plugin and... nothing changed) I thought maybe some cache problems, i tried use 5 different browsers with 2pc's but the bug remain the same.

Helo Loopus, First,thank you for this wonderful tool, it's clean and all what I'm need... I've got question: When I write an apostrophe « ’ » an Backslash place before, for example When I'write « I’m well » in front this look like « I\’m well », How can I resolve that without write in unicode ? Thanks in advance for your answer.

The new version is SO EXCELLENT ! Thx!

thanks maybe you can just reply to this request the demo so I can try, unfortunately lately (not with you), but without buying plugin demo area I took a lot of problems

Admin area demo possibile?

Then, probably the final screen that summarizes the selection (and changes on the fly). +1 ;)

Hi loopus, please consider adding a function so that we can define a specific item as mandatory within a step (in our case not group-items) before the user can go to the next step. Thanks! ;)

Does this have the ability to 1 time fee and recurring fees?

Sounds to good to be true ;-)

I'm sorry if I missed this somewhere else: But does this have the ability to pass values to another form? In other words, once they choose 5 items and a price of $2000, can we pass the five items and the amount to anything else that will allow the transaction to continue?

What a great paradigm shift! I love the concept, but how are choices captured - your screen captures do not enlarge? Can you make your screen captures pop-up of larger?

Question #2 - "The user gets an accurate estimate of its request. The final estimation will be sent by email." I read this under description - can the quote be customized? Seems some important aspects of this plugin are missing from the description. Again some larger screen captures might be helpful.

How to add any image as background, replace default "white" bg color for "introduction" popup?? thanks

Hello loopus, or should I say Bonjour :) Your plugin arrives in time and fits my needs, can I suggest Google Fonts, shortcode to embed in a page instead of the template ? Beau boulot ;)

Nice, but what will be nice to, is to have steps related to user choices. I mean if a user pick one item, the next step will be related of that item. Dunno if that is clear what I mean :)

Can I add on the idea box some stuffs ? like: OnClick attribute for buttons (helps tracking with Google Analytics), Font Awesome, sharing the result on social networks, sending a copy of the results email to the user...

Hi, I don't see 'Estimation Popup' in the admin bar. How is it possible?

ok. now I can see the plugin (there was another plugin that conflicts with it), but anytime I try to save i get an error. I can send you access can I use an email please?

+1 for Integration with Woocommerce. Very good for that. I would purchase. I might anyway, but would definitely if you do.

That will be great.. I don't think you will be sorry you did.

I'm trying to change the text on the settings page, but none of my changes are being saved despite getting the "Settings saved." message. How can I fix this?

Hi! I just purchased and tried out the plugin, but I have a few questions: Is there a way to add a quantity selection to each item, or do I have to manually add x number of items? Do you plan on adding a quantity feature if it's not already implemented? How do I select the plugin as a template? I do not see it in my template list.

This is a seriously awesome piece of work. :chuckle: Congratulations! +1 for multiple forms on a website! +1 for quantities! Can't wait to see where you take this plugin.

Yes, looks very sexy! ;) +1 to use this form as a page template

Awesome, please include it in your demo so we check it out before buying it afterwards, thanks! ;)

Thanks! :) While using the page template we would want to immediately start with the features visible so that the user do not have to click the "Get Started" button first. Can we achieve this via the backend of the plugin?

Thanks, added 5*s! ;)

Hi. Nice work. Is your plugin have translation file .po (Its is translation ready?)

Hey i just purchased this, I really like it. But I do have a question. Im looking around in the css. and i would like to know how can i adjest the size of the pop. As now it pops up full screen. I would like to to be half the size. Also if you can have have option to use any size images. Im not a fan of small icon images and would mush rather like to set my own images and size. I was able to change my image in the CSS but i think this should be a preset option and the back-end.

humm i added the code but didnt not work, im still getting full screen

Hi, Would this be for one type of service or product, could it be used for multiple types. Could this be used for home improvement quotes, estimates, etc.? Thanks for your help

Okay, I see. Thanks

Do you offer customization?

+1 Multiple forms!

Integration with Woocommerce?

Nice work really! GWLS :)

Great! Could we see a little bit more of the admin screens and what could be customized. Thanks, Bernhard

Thanks! Is it possible to have a negative price input, thereby reducing the calculated cost?

You are really listening to potential customers wishes. Will purchase soon!

Awesome! Question - Can I import the demo settings or can you provide anything to do so. And also is there an export settings option, like default Wordpress export?

Great and thanks! Look forward to the update!

I have this suggestion. Can you you add "Previous Step" next to "Next Step". In case someone is seeing the price and wants to adjust a previous choice. Thoughts?

Great! This is a really good looking plugin!

Awesome!!!!!!!!! Message sent. Thanks!

Is it possible to add monthly pricing? i.e. Hosting, SSL... If not now, in the future?

That sounds great! One more thing... is recurring billing built in for monthly charges?

Got it! Thanks for the quick replies!
