GymGuyz Global Formidable & Laravel Sync

A comprehensive, enterprise-grade WordPress Multisite plugin designed to bridge Formidable Forms submissions across sub-sites with a centralized main site architecture and external Laravel backend API.

Features

• Cross-Site Form Rendering: Shortcode-driven global form embedding ([global_formidable]) with automated context switching (switch_to_blog) to process entries seamlessly on the main network site.
• Advanced Frontend Tracking: Injects a robust JavaScript tracker capturing Google Ads (gclid), session IDs, custom query parameters, and referrers, dynamically mapping them into hidden form fields.
• External Laravel REST API Integration: Intercepts form submissions (frm_after_create_entry), parses field values, dynamically maps additional fields, and transmits structured JSON payloads securely via Bearer token authorization.
• CleanTalk Bot Checker Integration: Protects submissions using CleanTalk's wrapper, safely extracting hidden event tokens utilizing PHP Reflection (ReflectionMethod) to bypass access restrictions.
• Dynamic Field Population: Fetches real-time form field options from the external Laravel API and caches responses using WordPress Transients with a Network Admin manual flush tool.
• Network Admin Monitoring Dashboard: Includes a dedicated menu page featuring global configuration settings and a real-time request/response monitor log.
