Custom Widget - Does external signature pad works with e-signature widget?

  • RogerYelvington01
    Asked on May 1, 2014 at 9:50 PM

    Do you know how I could find a programmer or company to create a widget I can
    use in my jotform to intergrate an external signature pad?

    I've attached the project posting to this message.


    Let me know, thank you!
    Kind regards,

    Hi Roger,

    Jotform form have an e-signature widget already. You can read more about it here

    It is not quite clear what it is you are looking for though.

    Do you need a customize e-signature?

    Can you share to us what customization it is you need. We may be able to provide you with better suggestions if you can provide more details about it.

    In any case, we can also submit a feature request ticket to our support developers if the feature request have merit.

    We look forward for your response.

    Thanks!

    The esignature options you have do not work with an external signature pad. Meaning that if you sign with a desktop computer, you have to use a mouse. This type of signature is not ideal. I'm referencing a topaz external signature pad, which is very popular for this solution. It plus into the desktop, and the client can sign with an electronic pen on the pad and the digital signature appears on the screen. I hope this clears up what I'm looking for thank you! Roger

    I'm not really sure if this works with an external signature pad but I'm sure this works well with Ipads, Iphone and Android phones and that would serve as your signature pad.

    Let me forward and ask our 2nd level about the model and make of the signature pad you have purchase as I'm not sure because I haven't tried any external pads.

    We'll notify you in this thread about this matter.

    We will check the documentation for topaz signature pad and try to implement this widget for you.

    We believe we can implement this widget. The only problem is that we do not have the hardware, so we will need your help with testing. If that's OK with you please hold on hiring someone on elance. 

    We will build the widget at no cost to you and it will be available to all users for free in our widgets gallery.

    I believe that assigned developer will get in touch with you once he has any prototype. We will keep you updated.

    Mike, thank you for your response.

    Is there any idea of a potential time frame to expect the first prototype?

    I only ask, because I am looking to actively use this at my business locations as soon as I can.
    Thank you again!

    Hello Roger,

    I can only tell you that there is already a developer assigned to this and it was prioritized as important, but I cannot give you a timeframe. 

    I can only say they will get in contact with you as soon as they have an update on this.

    Let us know if we can be of assistance.

    Thank you

    I've implemented a test widget, it's available on http://maciej.jotform.pro/sigPlus/ - please review it and let me know if it works correctly.

    It should allow you to make a sign after clicking "start", reset it with "clear" and stop signing with "finish" - then it should show an image with your sign below. If anything works different than expected, throws errors etc., please let me know (attach screenshots if possible).

    It is not working, the buttons show, but the box is just a blank white screen.

    What extensions or programs are needed to support this widget for use within the chrome browser?

     

    Thank you!

    Sorry, but I'm unable to help you with this issue - without the device I have no way to test this plugin. Please contact with Topaz Systems support, they should be able to solve the problem.

    Hey Guys!

     

    This is working on my office computer that I originally tested, and it did work at first at my other 2 business locations.  However, after set up, the next day - it will no longer respond within the form.

     

    I'm operating in google chrome with windows 7 on all devices.  I've also tested the Topaz hardware and demo software and it still works on all computers.  It is just not showing up within the jotform on the business locations (but still working fine at my home office).

     

    Any ideas what can be preventing this from working all the sudden, and not showing up within the form?

    Looks like the widget does not load at all - Google Chrome was recently updated - I suspect that this is what could be causing this.

    Please try Using Mozilla Firefox (as long as you have the sigplus browser plugin installed).

    We will run tests on our end and advice -

    Thanks for the quick response!

    I use this widget daily at the business locations within my forms.  My a few reasons, Google Chrome is the only browser I can use at the businesses.

    When Chrome comes out with future updates - how will I make sure the widget is up-to-date at all times, so I don't have any downtime on my forms?

    Thank you!
