The Gravity Forms {all_fields} merge tag provides a super simple way to output all of the submitted form data but it’s notoriously difficult to customize.

This simple Gravity Forms plugin provides templating support for the {all_fields} merge tag. Huh? It means you can replace the markup generated by the merge tag with the contents of a file. This tutorial offers a solid starter template file too!

Getting Started

This tutorial assumes you’re running a recent version of Gravity Forms, that you already have the {all_fields} merge tag implemented wherever you want, and that you ♥ Gravity Wiz.

	Download, install, and activate the plugin.
	Download the sample template directory/file. Add the folder to your active theme’s root directory: /wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/
	Customize the template as desired.

Template and Merge Tag Options

This plugin provides a few handy modifiers for controlling which template will be used to render the {all_fields} merge tag.

Note: All template paths are relative to your theme’s root directory.

Default Templates

Form-specific Template

Providing a form-specific template requires no changes to the merge tag. Simply append the targeted form ID to your template’s name. This template will now only be used when the merge tag is used in the context of the specified form.

Custom Template

You may want to create a custom template that should only be applied to specific instances of the merge tag. The “template” modifier allows you to specify a custom template suffix.

No Template

You may want to create a generic template that applies to all instances of the merge tag by default and then disable that template to use the default Gravity Forms merge tag output in a few specific instances.

Hide Pricing Fields

Hide pricing fields (i.e. order summary) from the {all_fields} output.

Field Filtering Modifier

These modifiers allow you to control which fields are output in the {all_fields} merge tag without having to touch any code.

Please note: you only need the plugin installed to use these modifiers. You do not need to install the template files in your theme.

GF Nested Forms Support

To filter which fields from a child form display in your {all_fields} merge tag you can use the :filter modifier and the [Nested Form Field ID].[Child Field ID] format (e.g., 4.3; where 4 is the Nested Form field ID and 3 is the child field ID from the child form).

You can use the :include, :exclude, :filter, and :index modifiers on the Nested Form field to filter which child fields should be displayed.

Excluding Specific Inputs Within a Field

Fields that contain multiple inputs, such as the Name field, can be excluded per-input by specifying the input ID. For example, to exclude the First Name, add .3 to the Field ID (e.g., 5.3; where 5 is the Name field).

This works for any field that contains multiple inputs, such as Name, Address, and Product. You can find the specific input IDs in Gravity Forms Documentation for Name and Address fields.

Filter and Exclude Via Custom Function

Custom functions can be used to identify fields for filtering. Using a custom modifier, the function should return an array of field IDs. For example, if you want to exclude fields with personal information from some instances of the {all_fields} merge tag, you could specify a custom modifier value like so:

{all_fields:exclude[persInfoFields]}

And then create a custom function to identify the IDs of those fields.

add_filter( 'gwaft_modifier_value_persInfoFields', function() {
    return array( 1, 2, 3 );
} );

This is useful in circumstances when you need to use the {all_fields} merge tag in multiple places and want to exclude the same fields in several contexts. Instead of having to copy the same string of field IDs to every place you’ve inserted the {all_fields} merge tag, you can specify the custom function once and use the custom filter wherever you need it. If you want change or add to the excluded fields in the future, you simply update the custom filter and it will be applied everywhere the filter is used.

Customizing the Template

Ok, don’t let this section intimidate you. Here’s the TLDR; Loop through $items, use $item['label'] for the field label, and $item['value'] for the field value. Here’s the simplest template you could have:

<ul>

	<?php foreach( $items as $item ): ?>

	<li>
		<strong><?php echo $item['label']; ?><strong><br>
		<?php echo $item['value']; ?>
	</li>

	<?php endforeach; ?>

</ul>

You’ll most likely want to use the sample template above as a starting point though as it takes care of a requirements to better align the template with Gravity Forms default All Fields functionality.

Digging Deeper

The {all_fields} template works like any other WordPress template with one exception. There is a special $items array available to you.

Each $item contains a label, value, and field property. The label and value are the exact label and value that the default {all_fields} merge tag would output. The field is the input-type-specific GF_Field object for the current field. This is useful when you want to alter the way a field is displayed depending on the field you’re working with.

Lastly, you have access to the current entry via the $entry variable and the current form via the $form variable. For more details on these variables, see the parameters section below.

Parameters

• $items array

  An array of items, each item containing the Gravity-Forms-formatted field label, field value and field object for the given field. The field label and field value are the same values that Gravity Forms outputs in the default {all_fields} merge tag.

  • label string

    The label of the current item/field.

  • value string

    The display value of the current item/field.

  • field GF_Field

    The input-type-specific GF_Field object for the current item/field.

• $entry Entry Object

  The current Gravity Forms Entry object.

• $form Form Object

  The current Gravity Forms Form object.

Doing more with Gravity Forms

Okay, so with this plugin you can easily handle {all_fields} data. But what if you just don’t feel you’ve got enough different fields in your Gravity Forms? What if you want to export more fields? That’s where Gravity Perks comes in. Gravity Perks is an essential bundle of 34+ WordPress plugins that add new features for Gravity Forms. Plugins such as…

GP eCommerce Fields

With the GF eCommerce Fields plugin you can easily add eCommerce field types to your Gravity Forms. The new pricing fields include Discount, Tax, and Subtotal. This plugin also improves upon the functionality of Gravity Forms’ Coupons and Shipping fields.

GF eCommerce also adds support for special merge tags for including the subtotal, coupon and conditional-logic-based discount amounts in calculation-enabled fields along with a handy merge tag for displaying the order summary in your confirmations and notifications.

It’s great for helping your users better understand their orders by showing the subtotal before shipping, coupons and taxes have been applied – avoiding any nasty surprises at checkout!

GP Easy Passthrough

Easy Passthrough simplifies transferring entry data from one Gravity Forms form to another. Instead of spending time setting up dynamic parameter names and customizing confirmation query strings, you can passthrough data by setting up an Easy Passthrough configuration.

Entry data is transferred across multiple sessions using the special Easy Passthrough token. This token is a secret key, unique to each entry, preventing random users from guessing at the token and passing through entries they should not have access to.

GP Post Content Merge Tags

This plugin allows you to include Gravity Forms merge tags in WordPress post content, allowing you to, for example

• Implement persistent confirmation pages. For example, you could send the user an email including the confirmation page URL to their form submission, which they could save for future reference.
• Reuse the same confirmation page for multiple forms. For instance, you might have 25 forms on your site but would like to redirect users from all of those forms to a single, personalized “Thank You” page on submission.
• Reclaim complete control over the styling of the redirect page while maintaining the ability to use Gravity Forms merge tags in the content of the page.

These are just 3 of the 34+ plugins in the Gravity Perks collection. Check out the full set of plugins and see what Gravity Perks can do for you today!
