Gravity Wiz Weekly 208

Greetings, wizards! 

We’ve been working sorcerously hard on a brand new release that I’m super excited to share with you today. And if that’s not enough to get you fully amped for this newsletter, our weekly highlights and new resources will absolutely finish the job.

Without further ado…

GP Google Sheets 1.1 Is Here!

What do you do when you’ve got yourself a good product? You make it even better.

GP Google Sheets v1.1 is so packed with performance and quality-of-life improvements that you might actually shed a tear of joy. 🥲

Quick refresher: GP Google Sheets automatically sends and syncs Gravity Forms data with Google Sheets unlocking new possibilities for your data.

So what’s the big highlight in this new version? 

Bye bye tokens. Hello accounts!

You can now authorize as many Google accounts as you’d like. And you can manage all connected accounts directly on the settings page (including removing accounts). No more problematic “global” authorization. Each user authorizes their own accounts. 👌

With the new accounts system you can authorize new Google accounts and select previously connected accounts directly in your Google Sheets feed settings too!

This convenience extends to spreadsheets as well. In the old days (literally yesterday), you had to step through the Google authorization process even for sheets that were previously connected. Today, connected spreadsheets can be readily selected from a pre-populated list. 

Of course, you can still add new spreadsheets or connect a “new” existing spreadsheet with just a few clicks.

Under the hood

Everything is better, faster, stronger, but most importantly, more reliable. Connection issues are old news. 

In the rare cases where an issue does arise, the new Issues section (a bit on the nose, huh?) will reveal all mysteries and make it a cinch to fix up. 

Ok, that’s enough gushing from me. Go on and upgrade to the best version of GPGS yet!

Highlights of the Week

GS Product Configurator

Customizable WooCommerce products powered by Gravity Forms, deeply integrated with both ecosystems — it just works.

We’ve added support for Submit Button conditional logic. Configure the desired conditional logic for your Gravity Forms Submit Button in the form editor and Product Configurator will automatically show or hide the Add to Cart button and Quantity input accordingly.

We also added support for passing a meta key as the value for the {custom_price[META_KEY]} merge tag. This is helpful when you’re using the same GSPC feed for multiple products and are storing the display price in a custom field.

GP Page Transitions

Bring your forms to life with animated transitions between form pages and automatic page progression.

You can now disable auto-progression for a specific page by adding the new gppt-disable-auto-progress class to the Page field’s CSS Class Name setting. This is useful if you have multiple fields on a specific page and you’d like the user to have a bit more control over when they proceed. Page Transitions, ftw!

New Resources

GP Inventory | Day of the Week Inventory

Set specific inventory limits based on the day of the week. Only have a capacity of 5 for your weekday boot camps but can take up to 10 victims trainees on weekends? This snippet is preconfigured for this exact scenario but can be easily modified to check for any day of the week.

GP File Upload Pro | Flip Cropping Aspect Ratio Based on Dimensions

When a Pro customer requested the ability to flip the aspect ratio of their crop depending on whether the current image was landscape or portrait, I honestly wasn’t sure if it was possible. Then I remembered that with the power of our Chief Arcanum Officer (Clay), all things are possible. 🙏

Here’s an example where the default crop ratio is 2/3 but automatically switches to 3/2 for portrait images.
