Formidable Forms Integration in Arigato PRO

From version 3.1.9.5 the WordPress newsletter plugin Arigato PRO supports integration with Formidable Forms.

The integration lets you automatically subscribe respondents who fill your Formidable form to a selected mailing list in Arigato PRO.

If you have the Formidable Forms plugin installed and active you will see the integration link in the “Subscribe form” column for each mailing list in your Manage Mailing Lists page:

Clicking on it will take you to a page with a drop-down selector for your existing Formidable Forms. Note that your forms need to contain at least one email field to be integrated.

Select a form and then select which fields from the form match to the fields of your mailing list. You may want to specify that a checkbox field in the Formidable form will be used for confirmation. This means that only users who have selected the checkbox will be subscribed to your mailing list.

That’s it. Save and the integration is completed.

The integration has been added to the light version too.

Award Points for Actions (WatuPRO Play Plugin)

A new feature in the gamification plugin for WatuPRO allows you to award redeemable points for several actions performed on the site. These points then go to the user’s points balance similar to how they earn them through taking quizzes.

Points for logging in. The user will be able to get this award once per day.
Points for posting an approved comment. This action will assign the chosen number of points for every comment of the user.
Points for clicking on links. Users will be able to gain the points for each individual link once. This is useful to stimulate users to visit your partner sites, and so on.

With the continued addition of new possibilities the WatuPRO Play plugin becomes a very rich gamification engine for every learning portal.

Question Intros in WatuPRO

From version 6.6.0.5 the quiz plugin WatuPRO supports question intros. They are most useful when you want to include some introduction content which is not technically a part of the question. Usually you’d use it in non-randomized quizzes to explain one or more following questions.

Create your intro content at the beginning of the question:

Creating the question intro

Use the {{{split}}} tag to separate the intro from the question itself. When the question is shown in the front-end, the intro content will be displayed before it:

Intro on the front-end

What about randomized tests?

If you have to do this for quizzes that randomize questions you will need to ensure the group of questions stays together. To achieve this use question categories and place the groups in the same category. Enable the checkbox “Group questions by category” in Edit quiz -> General Settings tab.

Because in this case you don’t know which question will be first, use the category description for your introduction text instead of using the {{{split}}} tag explained above. The category description will be shown before the first question of that category similar to the question intro content.
