Progressive profiling fields above required fields?

Is it possible to have a required field below the progressive profile fields? For example, I want to display name and email (required fields always displayed) and then phone number and zip code as progressive profile fields with an email opt in field (required) at the very bottom. Maybe this takes two forms, but then how can there be only one submit button? Perhaps there is a different way to handle the opt in field. Appreciate any help.

It's there in the page source: standard JS methods to find and move the form element. There are a number of ways to find the element. For simplicity in the demo, I used the CSS + combinator to find the 3rd input (ProgPro1) and move it up top. (I used + to ensure backward compatibility; :nth-child would work too, but it's not in IE 8.)

Hey @Sanford Whiteman‌,

I'm hoping you can help?  I've just added your code from here: 

https://codepen.io/figureone/pen/ZoVeRy/ 

To my landing page template for this landing page: 

eBook | Automation Integration Drives Customer Experience 

And the order of the fields doesn't seem to be changing at all.

I'm not sure if I've put all the code in the correct places?

Thanks

Julz

Hi @Sanford Whiteman‌ 

I've implemented your script on a non-Marketo landing page (Unbounce) to reorder the tickbox to always be at the bottom of the form while using progressive profiling and it's not working :/ I am getting the following error message:

When I open up that error message, it is referencing this part of the script:

This is what's been embedded in the html of the landing page (I've edited some of the sensitive values for privacy purposes):

<script id="teknklFormsPlus-tag-0.2.2" src="https://www.company.com/blog/ReorderingJS1.js"></script>
<script id="teknklFormsPlus-reorder-0.2.3" src="https://www.company.com/blog/ReorderingJS2.js"></script>
<script src="//app-lon05.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script>
<div class= "enquiryFormWrapper">
<form id="mktoForm_2086"></form>
<script> MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-lon05.marketo.com", "555-ZZZ-555", 2086);
</script> 
<script> MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.mktoButton').text("Inscribir") }); 
form.vals({"bizLPproducttarget":"ATS"});
form.onSuccess(function(values,followUpUrl){ 
location.href = "https://hello.company.com/demo-solicitada/ats"; 
return false; 
}); 
var formEl = form.getFormElem()[0],
submitButtonRow = formEl.querySelector(".mktoButtonRow");

var fieldOrder = [
"companyOptIn",
"companyRGPD", 
submitButtonRow
];
FormsPlus.reorderFields(form, fieldOrder);

});</script>
</div>

Any idea why?

Thanks in advance!

Can you please highlight that code using the Advanced Editor's syntax highlighter? I can't read it otherwise.

In any case custom form behaviors use Marketo's MktoForms2 global object. So behavior JS must load after the forms2.min.js library, which creates that object.

Thank you Sanford, your JS script is working like a charm. I keep bumping into your answers a lot, you're helping so many people with your awesome solutions.

I'm using visibility rules on the form and with that the field reordering was not working as the script is using .whenReady(), which only fires once when rendering the page.

I changed .whenReady() to .onFormRender() so the script loads every time the form is altered by the visibility rules.

Just wanted to add this in case anyone is using this script with visibility rules.

Marketo writes more on this on their API reference page: http://developers.marketo.com/javascript-api/forms/api-reference/

The demo page doesn't use whenReady, it uses whenRendered.

whenRendered fires on every re-render. (In fact, the demo page has a Visibility Rule on Website -- it only shows if the first Webinar Date radio is selected.)

You actually don't want to use onFormRender, you want whenRendered. onFormRender will not fire for the initial form load if the event binds after the form is in the page. whenRendered will fire every time including the first time.

Thank you for your answer! I was referring to the whenReady on the right-side JS script here: MktoForms2 :: Demo :: Override Field Order 1.0.2

@Sanford Whiteman​ I'm having a problem with this as well. A few years ago you shared this code with me (see below) and I put it on my landing page as an HTML element (I use free form landing pages). It worked for the past few years, but now is no longer working. Here's a link to my landing page: Lessons Learned: The Growth of a Pediatric Telehealth Platform

Any recommendations? Maybe the code no longer works after a few years of Chrome / Firefox updates (it's doing this in both). Your help is much appreciated, especially from someone who does not know much CSS!

<script>

function moveMktoFieldsToBottom(fieldNames) {

  for ( i = 0; i < fieldNames.length; i++ ){

    var elementToMove = $('[for="' + fieldNames[i] + '"]').parents(".mktoFormRow");

    try {

      elementToMove.insertBefore(".mktoButtonRow");

    } catch(err) {

      console.log("Error: " + err.message);

    }

  }

}

</script>

<script src="//app-ab11.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script>

<script>

MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){

    moveMktoFieldsToBottom(['globalOptIn']);

});

</script>

Actually I'm pretty sure that isn't my code, but rather Justin C. (Marketo's) take on the same thing. Or maybe I've changed my coding style a lot since then but it doesn't look like the way I structure things now.

In any case I have a brand new, sleek method (prompted by Kevin Delgado's awesome work with CSS flexbox) that I recommend instead. Demo/code here: MktoForms2 :: Override Field Order v2.0.0 - via Flexbox (h/t Kevin Delgado)

Has anyone tried just including a rich text field inside the progressive profiling? If it is not referencing a particular data point but just displaying text, will it display for every visitor?

Yes, it will continue to display (and will take up one of the ProgPro slots), but that doesn't change the order of Always-On fields → ProgPro fields.

Hello @Sanford Whiteman,

Thanks for all the instruction you gave above.

I've implemented your script (MktoForms2 :: Override Field Order 1.0.0 ) and it works like a charm. I've managed to reorder and mix Progressive Profiling fields with required fields as needed.

The only problem with it that this script won't let you include Rich text in this reordering, and it will always be placed at the very top of the form.


I'm not very good at JS, but as I understood from your code tagging script works based on "data-wrapper-for" property, and Rich Text do not have one of those.

Do you have any idea how can I include Rich text into this whole reordering process?

Hi all. Is there anywhere there is a step-by-step for this process? My level of proficiency with JS and CSS are quite low so to me this thread is super confusing.

This is an awesome workaround, as I'm trying to do the same thing, but for some reason, I can't get it to work on my end. Is it only the one snippet of code in the rawHTML section that needs to be added?

Yes, although that's a really old method and now I'd do it like this:

Thanks, Sanford! For some reason, this still isn't working for me. Does it matter if you have hidden fields (for URL parameters) or the max number of ProgPro fields you have?

Thanks @Sanford. It gives me plenty to chew on to get forms the way we'd like them. Too bad the tool doesn't have the flexibility to allow more variation of forms.

Here's another way with just CSS: http://pages.vaneck.com/ProgPro-Sample-2.html

But I think the JS way is more elegant and manageable (works for any existing theme CSS).

This is exactly what I am trying to do! But I am so confused. Can someone send a sample of the code that needs to be edited? And where to access the code in the form? I am very new to Marketo.

Very basic question here Sanford... where is this code to edit? We currently use a CMS, rather than Marketo landing pages. Is it in the CMS that these code edits need to happen or somewhere in the marketo form itself?

The Forms 2.0 JS enhancement <script> sits outside of (i.e. in addition to) the standard embed code.
