Gravity Wiz Weekly 243

Greetings, wizards!

While we won’t completely abandon our usual whimsy in this week’s newsletter, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the devastation Hurricane Helene wrought upon many in our community, including one of our very own wizards.

Our hearts go out to those who were impacted by this catastrophic storm. If you’re looking for a way to help, here’s a list of opportunities to contribute to the relief efforts.

There’s a long road ahead but we hope our friendly newsletter will make even a small difference in your day.

New: Conditional Entry Blocks

Entry Blocks Beta 2 just dropped and it comes with a very cool new feature. You can now conditionally display blocks based on entry data!

Need some inspiration for how you can put conditional logic to work?

• Show an edit button only for administrators.
• Add a badge for premium listings.
• Use different templates for each team member based on their department.

And all it takes is a few clicks.

I’d say there are no strings attached, but with conditional logic, there are always a few conditions.

Highlights of the Week

There have been a variety of PHP 8.2+ compatibility improvements across our products and Snippet Library. See the full changelog for details there, but for now, here are a few of my favorite updates this week.

• The Notion connection now supports waiting until a delayed payment (e.g. Stripe Checkout, PayPal Checkout) has been collected before processing its feeds. This will be a standard feature in all future connections.
• The OpenAI Stream field now allows you to tweak a variety of advanced AI knobs (like max tokens, temperature, etc.) to dial your responses in even further. Look for these settings in the field settings’ “Advanced” panel.
• Multi-page Navigation and Page Transitions both received updates this week to improve their mutual compatibility, particularly when using Page Transitions’ Soft Validation feature. These two pals have some fairly nuanced interactions.

If any of these updates excite you, let us know in the comments!

Workshop Recap: The Notion Connection

We always have a rough plan of what we want to cover in these workshops but there’s always a few surprises that come along as we flesh out the actual content. In this workshop…

• We built a full fledged Job Application Tracker with Gravity Forms and Notion.
• We used AI to automatically assess applicants and summarize issue reports.
• We shared a sneak peek of how Populate Anything will soon allow you to sync Notion properties with your field choices.

Thanks for everyone who attended live. It really was a lot of fun! Catch the replay above and don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for fresh video content every week.

Sorcerous Resources

Community Highlight: GravityView Maps + GP Address Autocomplete

I’ve been meaning to share this for a while now but GravityKit added support for using Address Autocomplete’s geocoding with their Maps Layout. Thanks for the love, Floaty!

Snippet Update: “None of the Above” Option for Checkboxes

Originally, this snippet was written to disable the “None of the Above” checkbox if any other checkboxes were checked.

We had a Pro customer point out that it’d be more useful if the “None of the Above” checkbox was always selectable so the user could more easily change their mind (without having to go back and uncheck previously checked checkboxes).

We love to agree with our customers.

New Video: Register Multiple Users at Once

It’s the last video in our series about using Gravity Forms’ User Registration add-on and Better User Activation to improve the user experience of your WordPress user registration flows.

This week, we cover how you can register multiple users with a single form and allow each user to activate themselves independently.
