I was reading an article<\/strong><\/a> about integrating Google Apps with WordPress\u00a0 and one was\u00a0 a plugin\u00a0 for Google Forms and decided to investigate it. When I went to install the plugin I came across Calculated Fields Form plugin<\/strong><\/a> for WordPress and decided to install that too. I’m glad I did, this is a great plugin.<\/p>\n

WordPress plugin\u00a0 for Google Forms (now being depreciated but still available)<\/h3>\n

On further research the WordPress plugin\u00a0 for Google Forms is being phased out and I must admit on testing it the results were a bit odd.<\/p>\n

The New Google Forms use the normal embed code, also you can give them a link to take you just to the form, rather than embedding it into a web page.<\/p>\n

An item that I thought was quite interesting was that I was playing with menu’s and saw that the WordPress plugin\u00a0 for Google Forms had a category of Google Forms for menu’s. I thought that was an interesting feature, you could use one as a contact form\u00a0 and link to a spreadsheet. Currently I’m using Cognito forms for that, I may switch to Google Forms for contact page info instead.<\/p>\n

Calculated Fields Form<\/h2>\n

This is a really handy tool. I have a use case for this. In my original Form setup for quotes I put costs per each item at the top of the form so a person could do a rough calculation for the cost of the service.<\/p>\n

The FREE version of the\u00a0 Calculated Fields Form plugin<\/strong><\/a> does not let you send emails but it does show all the fields on the page, so that people interested in the service can run the numbers to see what is cost effective, then fill out a form for a formal quote.<\/p>\n

The article below is quite descriptive. It takes you through the steps for setting up. I quite liked his comment to play with some of the existing examples, and once you do that you get an idea of how it works.<\/p>\n

The one thing I dont particularly like are the templates, I don’t really like any of them,\u00a0 and they don’t really fit in with what I have.<\/p>\n
