Gravity Wiz Weekly #95

Greetings, wizards!

We’re still wizarding away on our Gravity Forms 2.5 optimizations for Gravity Perks. The new settings design introduced in GF 2.5 really help our perks shine even brighter! Here’s a little sneak peek of what Live Preview looks like in 2.5.

In other news, we’ve made a couple new hires whom I hope to introduce to you in a future update. I’ve never been more excited about the team of wizards we’re building here at Gravity Wiz!

Farewell for now and for all your regularly scheduled updates, read on. 📖

Combining the power of Populate Anything and Nested Forms
This is an epic new snippet we’ve written that allows you to populate child entries submitted in a Nested Form field into any choice field on your form as they are submitted! Watch the instructional video for an overview.

Gravity Perks

GP Date Time Calculator (v1.0-beta-4.4)

• Updated docs URL to point to GP Date Time Calculator docs rather than the Gravity Wiz homepage.

GP Nested Forms (v 1.0-beta-8.63)

• Fixed a race condition when LMTs are used alongside GPPA in a nested form.
• Fixed an issue where users lookup by role was not specific enough.
• Fixed issue where Live Merge Tags would not work on the GravityView edit screen in some cases.
• Fixed an issue where filtered entries would fail to display if selector is a single character.
• Fixed an issue where empty dropdowns would not display the default message set by gppa_missing_filter_text on page load.
• Fixed issue where the {count} merge tag would return 1 instead of 0 if no results were found.
• Fixed issue where Live Merge Tags would not work in textareas in some situations such as multi-page forms or Nested Forms.
• Fixed issue where Live Merge Tags would not be properly coupled when editing nested entries with GF Nested Forms.
• Fixed potential PHP notice.
