Data Store<\/strong><\/a> created with the <\/em><\/strong>JetEngine<\/em> plugin is a handy and practical tool to organize convenient and good-looking pages like \u201cFavorites\u201d or \u201cWishlist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating Data Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Go to the admin control panel, open JetEngine > JetEngine dashboard > Data Stores<\/em>,<\/strong> and hit the \u201cNew Store<\/strong>\u201d button. Choose the name, store type, and other options. When you are done, hit the \u201cSave<\/strong>\u201d button. Please note that this tutorial works only if the Store type<\/strong> is \u201cUser Metadata<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"jetengine\n\n\n\n

After choosing this Store type<\/strong>, you can see the new meta field in the _usermeta table if the item goes to the Data Store<\/strong>. The meta in this field is stored as an array of items. You do not need to go to the database to change something. The meta key<\/strong> is formed from two parts: je_data_store_ + [your_data_store_name]. Example: Our Store Name is \u201cFavorites,\u201d and the meta key is je_data_store_favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"data\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Log into your website\u2019s WordPress dashboard and go to JetFormBuilder > Add New.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click the \u201cAdd block<\/strong>\u201d button with a plus-shaped icon in the left upper corner of the window and scroll the list of blocks to the Jet Form Fields<\/strong> section. You can add any fields that you need. For our case, we just add one Text field for the email – the address we want to send the email to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then add a new Checkbox Field<\/strong> with the Source <\/strong>\u201cPosts\u201d and select the Post Type<\/strong> you use for the Data Store<\/strong>. By default, the list of options will be formed from the IDs of the posts of the chosen Post Type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"checkbox\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Setting up the Preset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Go to the General <\/strong>section of the Checkbox field<\/strong>. Define the default value, which will be pre-chosen from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"checkbox\n\n\n\n

For our case, these values from the Data Store<\/strong> allow having the posts prechecked – precisely the ones already in the Data Store<\/strong>. Values are stored in the database, as in the screenshot we showed you at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"checkbox\n\n\n\n

Note, if you want to hide the checkbox field from the form, here is what you should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Place the Checkbox Field<\/strong> in a separate column<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\"checkbox\n\n\n\n

    2. Specify the CSS class for the column<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"additional\n\n\n\n

    3. Then you need to add the following CSS code in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    .datastore_hiddenf\n{\n\tdisplay: none;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n\"css\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Setting up the Post Submit Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    When the form fields are ready, go to the Post Submit Actions <\/strong>settings section, press \u201cNew Action,<\/strong>\u201d and choose the \u201cSend Email\u201d option. Then press the pencil-shaped button to edit the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"jetformbuilder\n\n\n\n
    Insert the text or HTML code into the text area Content <\/strong>field. Use this macro post_titles_by_ids<\/strong> to get the name of posts; it will take data from the field that contains several posts. For example, the %favorites|post_titles_by_ids% <\/strong> where favorites<\/strong> is the name of the form field you want to pull the data from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"send\n\n\n\n
    Don\u2019t forget to click the \u201cUpdate<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cPublish<\/strong>\u201d buttons when you finish editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Place the form on any page, fill it in, and hit the \u201cSubmit<\/strong>\u201d button. Check out your mailbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"email\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
