WordPress plugin

The Data Maker Forms plugin hosts forms on a WordPress site. Upload a signed .dmf, place a shortcode or block, and submissions are sealed in the browser and forwarded to the DataMaker API — the WP server never sees plaintext.

Requires WordPress ≥ 6.4 and PHP ≥ 8.1.

Use it

Install + activate the plugin.
Go to Data Maker Forms → Upload .dmf and upload a .dmf bundle. The plugin verifies the signature, stores the form, and lists it by id.
Place the form on a page:

Shortcode
```
[datamaker_form id="contact_form"]
```
The optional theme attribute (on / off) overrides theming per placement: [datamaker_form id="contact_form" theme="off"] renders structure-only so the active WP theme styles it.

Block — add the Data Maker Form block (datamaker/form) and pick a form.

That’s it — the form renders with full cascade (VisibleWhen / Calculated / validation run in the browser from the bundle’s compiled expressions), and submissions seal against the form’s recipient public key.

How submission works

The plugin ships the same JS renderer as the web embed. Values are sealed in the browser (libsodium) and posted to the DataMaker API at https://datamaker-api.fobo-tools.com/ (overridable via the DM_RENDERER_SYNC_API_URL constant). A built-in submit proxy + upload-slot flow handles file fields. An optional localStorage edit token lets submitters return and amend a prior submission.

Theming

Choose per form: use the form’s own DataMaker palette, or inherit the active WordPress theme (structure-only render).

Permissions

Admin screens are gated by the manage_datamaker_forms capability or manage_options — so site admins always have access. Grant the custom capability to give non-admin roles access:

get_role('editor')->add_cap('manage_datamaker_forms');

Scope (v1)

Supported: text, number, scale, date, choice, multi-choice, checkbox, list, geo, attachment, image, signature, initials, divider, spacer, group, rich-text, heading, button — and multi-step (wizard) forms.

Not yet: relation fields (placeholder only), charts, nested record entry.
