Good day! Such a task. The customer wants to upload document forms to the site (there is a wordpress) so that users can fill them in and send them with their data to the server.

The difficulty is that the customer forms are always different, that is, I can not display them all by means of html. He needs to download them. Is it even possible? As an option I considered google docs, but there is a joint editing of the document, but you just need to fill in the fields. Do you know any solutions to this problem?

  • There is a dilemma - either to accustom the customer to create "forms" in the VP, or give them to download. Or write a parser of "different" forms in an unknown format. Although Google has seemingly settings that allow you to edit only certain fields. In the Excel analogue, in any case, it should be - SeVlad
  • Thanks) in Google, as I understood, it is impossible to make so that editing of documents was saved only for a specific user. Maybe some plugins ... I learn. I already think that they themselves create forms. Many problems would be solved - www
  • I did not work with Google, but I think you can. In fact, it’s like an analogue of the MS office (and mn), only online. And if allowed, anyone can save a modified document in their account. Another thing is whether it will be convenient for users. I, for example, would hardly use such. - SeVlad
  • And about the VP - there are lots of plugins for making forms. But it is unlikely to be convenient for the client. And to offer more convenient options - you need to see what kind of forms, what fields and so on. In the general case, it may be sufficient to create a custom post type with arbitrary fields. Alternatively, insert fields with variable codes by shortcodes, displaying form elements (such as constructor in CF7, but only easier in work and as an analogue post) - SeVlad
  • It is necessary in Google to dynamically create a new document from the form and give the user access only to his version of the document. - KAGG Design
