Just a few weeks ago I saw a review by Pippin about Ninja Forms and I was immediately impressed. It is intuitive, well documented, & open source; all without a yearly fee. At the same time I was trying to get the most out of my contact forms and I was adding hidden fields that allow me to capture additional information (like geolocation, browser, operating system, etc) about the user without bothering them.
So, in the interest of getting the most out of every opportunity presented to me I took the plunge and developed User Analytics for Ninja Forms.
Extension Features
This extension allows you to automagically capture:
- Geolocation (country, state, zip, city)
- Hardware / software (browser, browser version, operating system)
- IP address
Extension Roadmap
This plugin isn't nearly done. In the near future I want to parse the information in the Google Analytics cookie and give admins even more information like:
- Number of pages visited
- Time on site
- Previous Visits
- SEM Campaign
- Referring page
And after all that is done I want to improve it even more by showing the admin the actual page path that was taken to get to the form.
So you can see there is still a bunch to do and the best part is that I use this myself. As I continually update this and expand upon it expect the plugin to change.
Conclusion
Ninja Forms is awesome. If you've tried Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, JotForm, or WuFoo in the past I encourage you to try Ninja Forms because it gives a lot of value without a yearly price tag.
This is my first paid extension that I'm releasing. I hope it goes well and if it does then I plan on releasing many more for Ninja Forms and other markets.
