GWW 315: Resourcerous

Greetings, wizards!

Just another edition of your founder-led, magic-infused weekly Gravity Wiz newsletter. Well, obviously, it’s not just another edition. There’s always something new and exciting to share in our little wizarding world of WordPress. And this week is no different.

In fact, let’s start with the headliner…

New: Product Configurator 1.0

I haven’t been this happy about a 1.0 since, like, three weeks ago. But, for real, this 1.0 has been a long time coming.

Quick refresher: Product Configurator connects Gravity Forms and WooCommerce so you can sell fully customizable products powered by Gravity Forms. If Gravity Forms can do it, your products can too. 💪

What’s new in 1.0?

• Assign forms to multiple WooCommerce products at once—by category, tag, or product selection. Configure everything from the Product Configurator feed instead of editing products one by one.
• WooCommerce order merge tags—use order data in Gravity Forms notifications, confirmations, and feeds for follow-up emails, abandoned cart workflows, Google Sheets, and more.

Top Picks: Product Updates

GP Sliders
✦ Add interactive, calculation-ready range sliders to Gravity Forms.

You can now use Gravity Forms’ ever-handy dynamic population with Slider fields! Set values based on query parameters, pass dynamic defaults based on the embed page, or use hooks to set values programmatically. The world is your very dynamic oyster. 🦪

GP Bookings
✦ Turn Gravity Forms into your complete WordPress booking platform.

If you’re using multiple Booking fields on the same form, you’ll be pleased to note that the {gpb_booking} merge tag will now display all bookings for a submitted entry.

Spellbook
✦ Install, update, and discover your entire Gravity Wiz toolkit from one magical dashboard.

Remember last week when I invited you to talk to us? I was so serious. Not only is our support form open to all users, you can now also contact us directly from your Spellbook. Go on. Slide into our DMs. 😘

Resourcerous: Edit Entry Order Details

If you’ve ever wanted to edit an entry’s order details (think product quantities, payment details, etc), this snippet (that can also be installed as a plugin) is for you.

We recently updated this resource to support removing Single Product fields from existing entries, even when the product’s quantity is fixed. Previously, these products couldn’t be removed because there was no way to set their quantity to zero.

P.S. The original version of this snippet was written in 2014. 🤯
