Gravity Wiz Weekly 232

Caio, wizards!

Lots to catch up on this week, so forgive me this abbreviated intro and I’ll jump right into explaining why…

WordCamp Europe ✅

Clay and I returned this week from an absolutely epic WCEU in Turin (aka Torino), Italy.

I honestly wish we had taken more pictures. It’s hard to remember to whip out the phone when you’re meeting so many awesome people and having so many engaging conversations.

We bumped into quite a few Gravity Wiz customers and got to spend some quality time with the folks behind many of the other businesses in our little Gravity Forms niche. What a rewarding adventure!

Highlights of the Week

While Clay and I were away, our band of merry wizards continued our quest to build the most robust suite of Gravity Forms products in all the land. Here are some highlights!

File Upload Pro: Rotate Your Photos

A professional file and image uploader that feels like magic.

GP File Upload Pro launched with support for automatically rotating images to their correct orientation based on the images’ meta data. This works great but in some cases, that meta data isn’t available, and it can be quite useful for the user to manually rotate images as needed.

With v1.4, File Upload Pro now supports manual rotation!

Rotation is enabled automatically when cropping is enabled. To disable, use the gpfup_cropper_options JavaScript filter hook.

Are you ready to spin your images right round, baby, right round?

Populate Anything: Default Sorting

Dynamically filter and populate field choices and values with posts, users, taxonomies, terms, Gravity Forms entries, and databases. Pretty much anything!

Populate Anything provides a number of ways to sort the results returned by its flexible filters but in some cases, you don’t actually want to sort the results. Or, to be more specific, you want to use whatever the default sorting is for the given object type.

For example, you may have manually sorted your Google Sheet and want to populate choices form your spreadsheet in that order.

This week, we added support for a “Default” sort option that will simply return the results in their default order.

Feed Forge + Conditional Logic

Bulk process feeds for existing Gravity Forms entries with support for most feed-based add-ons. Unlock your existing data!

Feed Forge will now honor your feeds’ configured conditional logic by default. This means that if a given entry doesn’t match the conditional logic configured for the feed, that feed will be skipped for that entry.

If you want to ignore conditional logic when processing feeds with Feed Forge, use the new gfff_feed_condition_met filter to override feed conditional logic globally, per form, or per feed.

New Resources

Generate Static Maps with the Map Field

We’ve been wanting to explore generating static maps for GP Address Autocomplete’s Map field for a long time. This week, a customer request provided the impetus for us to dig in!

Specify the desired size and zoom and this snippet will handle the rest. Use the generated static maps in confirmations, notifications, or even PDFs!

Clear Duplicate Selections

We have a very popular snippet for preventing duplicate selections. This week, a customer wanted a slightly different take on this functionality. Instead of disabling the a value in other fields in the group when it was selected in one field, they wanted to simply clear that selection in any other field.

Inline Datepickers with Gravity Forms
