This tutorial will show you how to create a custom ID or number for a Formidable Form<\/strong> and then update it with a custom field.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this function will be to generate an ID number for your ticket such as PO number, business number, reference number, etc…<\/p>\n

First of all, we will need to create a shortcode and include within it a PHP generator: the mt_rand()<\/a>. This generates a random value via the Mersenne Twister. <\/p>\n

Donc nous allons dans notre functions.php de notre WordPress et nous allons construire notre shortcode qui sera [idrand]. Dans cette fonction shortcode on lui demande de g\u00e9n\u00e9rer un nombre. On peut v\u00e9rifier sur le site, mais vous pouvez personnaliser ou argumenter votre mt_rand()<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ex: Generate a number between 5 and 2000, you’d do this: mt_rand(5, 2000);<\/strong>.
\n In this case, we could simply ask the generator to generate a number without arguments so it could generate 87459612 for example.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

\/\/ Add Shortcode\nfunction mafunction_number_entreprise_shortcode() {\n   return mt_rand() . "\\n";\n}\nadd_shortcode( 'idrand', 'mafunction_number_entreprise_shortcode' );<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Once you’ve inserted the shortcode, we will add a hidden field in the form where you will add the shortcode as its default value. <\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\"\"<\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Afterwards, we need to test the shortcode with the form to make sure it generates a number and that it’s not visible to users when they fill out the form. <\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\"\"<\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Vous pouvez bien sur avec votre formulaire Formidable form, g\u00e9n\u00e9rer une action qui va permettre d’ajouter toutes les valeurs de votre formulaire dans un post type et ses champs personnalis\u00e9s.
