Gravity Wiz Weekly #87

Greetings, wizards. 🙂

Natalie the New

Natalie, our newest support wizard, started on Monday. She’ll be helping us provide magical support, write new content, and, what I’m most excited about, produce new videos! Say hi to Natalie if you see her around. 🤗

New Perk Incoming

We have a new perk in the works! We haven’t settled on a name but the working title is GF Advanced File Uploader. Give your File Upload fields a delicious makeover and improve the user experience. Uploading images? See a preview of the uploaded file. Need to crop the image to a specific size or aspect ratio? We got you. Already have tons of File Upload fields? You can enable these benefits on existing fields. Stay tuned!

Regularly Scheduled Updates

We have an awesome new free resource below (use shortcodes as merge tags!) and we’ve made a host of updates to our Gravity Perks suite with an emphasis on Populate Anything, the perk that keeps on perkin’. Full details below.

Alright, wizards. Until next week. ⚡️

Resources

Shortcodes as Merge Tags
We had an interesting use-case come up in support the other day. A customer wanted to use the [gravityforms action="remaining"] shortcode (powered by our Better Inventory snippet) in combination with the Gravity Forms Conditional Shortcode to show a message and create some urgency when the inventory fell below a certain threshold.

This snippet allowed the customer to write the remaining shortcode as a merge tag so it could be included as a parameter in the conditional shortcode. This works with any shortcode!
