Hi,
we have refactored the place holder feature with Visforms 3.11.2 release candidate. The installation/update is not yet distributed using the Joomla! Update manager because it's status is release candidate
You can download the installation/update from the downloads menu.
After you have installed the update, the former editor button "Visformsfields" will be renamed to "Visforms Placeholder". The placeholder list, which is displayed in a popup, if you click the "Visforms Placeholder" button, firstly provides placeholders for the overhead fields (Formtitle, Id, Created, Modified at and IP). Secondly for some field types, you can now select between different placeholder, which will effect the replace value (i.e. for file upload fields you can decide whether the placeholder is replaced with the origininal file name or the local path or the full path or a link to the uploaded file).
In order to achieve this, the placeholder string format has been changed completely, but placeholders in the old format will still be replaced properly just as with older Visforms versions.
We strongly recommend to test on a test website first. At least make sure, that you have a full backup of your website, before you install the update.
Regards,
Aicha
