🎉 Phase 3 Complete: Signup Form Shortcode
✅ Phase 3 Implementation Complete!
The signup form shortcode [tenant_referral_signup_form] is now fully functional with all features from the original template.
📋 Testing Instructions
1. Basic Shortcode Test
Add this shortcode to any WordPress page or post:
[tenant_referral_signup_form]
This will display the complete signup form with default settings.
2. Customized Shortcode Test
Test with custom attributes:
[tenant_referral_signup_form title="Join Our Community" show_title="yes"]
Or hide the title:
[tenant_referral_signup_form show_title="no"]
3. Referral Code Testing
Test referral code functionality by visiting the page with these URL parameters:
?ref_code=TEST123 - Should auto-populate referral code
?ref_code=WORDPRESS_PLUGIN - Should track landing page visit
The form should show: "Referral code TEST123 will be applied."
4. Manual Referral Code Entry
When no referral code is detected, the form should show a manual entry area where users can:
- Enter a referral code manually
- Click "Apply" to set the code
- See confirmation that the code was applied
5. Form Submission Testing
Test the complete form submission process:
- Validation Testing: Try submitting with missing required fields
