jfb-settings-tab

To add a custom settings tab to JetFormBuilder, you create a PHP Base_Handler subclass and register it using the jet-form-builder/register-tabs-handlers hook. This enforces slug consistency and integrates your plugin's configuration UI directly into the JFB Settings page.

The Vue component integration works by registering a JavaScript handler alongside the PHP Base_Handler subclass. You must ensure JFB admin assets are enqueued so the Vue-based UI renders correctly within the custom settings tab.

To securely save settings from a custom JetFormBuilder tab, the flow uses the jet_fb_save_tab AJAX endpoint with nonce protection. This ensures per-tab persistence is handled safely without exposing your configuration to unauthorized requests.

Yes, you need a Base_Handler subclass to expose API keys or debug flags in JetFormBuilder settings. Extending this class provides the standardized per-tab persistence mechanism required to store and manage your plugin's configuration securely.

The best way to configure third-party integrations inside JetFormBuilder is by creating a custom settings tab. This approach reduces boilerplate by enforcing a PHP Base_Handler extension and Vue UI registration, providing a standardized configuration interface.

If your custom JetFormBuilder settings tab is not loading, you likely failed to enqueue JFB admin assets. You must ensure the JavaScript tab registration with jet-form-builder/register-tabs-handlers is properly executed so the tab renders and saves correctly.
