How to "connect" multiple forms?

    Hi there!

    Let's say that I create a post. And within this post, I want to embed 3 free text forms, that the user can write it's answers. On the end of the post, he submit his name, and email adress.

    How can I "connect" those 3 forms so he get the text he wrote in one email when he submit his email adress?

    I've found one solution, but it's not quite what I wanted. This solution is to have all 3 fields as one form, and place it at the end of the post. But I want the user to write in the fields within the post. The setup I'm looking for is this:

    [post text]
    [free text field]
    post text]
    [free text field]
    post text]
    [free text field]

    [Name, email]
    [submit]

    How can I do this?

    So you would want something like:

    HTML FIeld
    Textarea Field
    HTML Field
    Textarea Field
    HTML Field
    Textarea field

    Name Field
    E-mail Field

    Yes, this really leads me closer to the solution. Is there any posibility to format the html with the wordpress WYSIWYG editor?

    Not currently, no. You will have to create the HTML for it. You could create what you want using the WordPress post creator, switch to HTML view when you are ready, and copy and paste that code into the HTML field to make it look the way you want.

    Ah, great Idea. Thanks.

    One more question. Is it possible to include this html text in the notification mail the user gets?

    You would have to put it manually into the notifications because HTML fields are "front end only" fields to display content. So instead of using the merge tag for all fields, you would set it up one merge tag at a time, including the html text you want in it.
