Gravity Wiz Weekly 256

Greetings, wizards!

I’ve got a new favorite song. It’s called Easy Does It.

While the song is focused on romantic relationships, I’ve found that the healthiest relationships in my life are consistently the ones that felt the most organic, effortless, easy.

This got me thinking… we work hard to make our products super easy to use but I’m sure there’s room for improvement. So tell me…

How can we make our products easier for you?

Then read on for more magical ways we’re making Gravity Forms easier every day. 🧙‍♂️

Easy Highlights

GP Entry Blocks: You can now use the gpeb_skip_default_sorting filter to skip default sorting when toggling the sorting of a Entries Table column. 2ez.

GP File Upload Pro: The cropping UI is much tidier and easier to use on small screens (like mobile devices). Responsive styles, ftw!

GP Multi-page Navigation: The new gpmpn_bypass_validation_enabled filter allows you to bypass validation until the final submission, even when clicking the next button. Piece of cake!

GP Nested Forms: When viewing child entries, the new parent entry link on the Entry Details view for child entries makes it a breeze to get back to the parent entry.

GC OpenAI: When using a Gravity Flow Discussion field in an OpenAI Stream field, all previous discussions items will now be automatically pulled and used in the prompt.

Workshop Recap: Email Validator

We tried a new format and LOVED it.

Kickbox’s Hank Hoffmeier kicked things off with a seriously magical presentation on email marketing. Then, I followed up with a demo on how to put some of Hank’s magic to work with Email Validator. We ended with some open Q&A but we had great questions throughout.

How To: Set Up Dynamic Pricing in Gravity Forms

If you want to create a more dynamic, user-friendly, and conversion-optimized pricing experience in your Gravity Forms, this article is a must-read.

Learn how you can create incredibly flexible pricing using Advanced Calculations’ formula conditionals, all without touching a line of code.

Bonus tip: the spotlight below shows what this article covers in a real world use case. Start with the theory here, then see that theory applied below. ✅

Spotlight: Powering Up Cost Estimate Forms with Advanced Calculations

Those GP Advanced Calculations formula conditions make pricing so dynamic, a wild in-the-flesh use case appeared: a countertop cost estimator that lifts with ease the weight two forms were trying to hold before.

Picture having to calculate over 50 different customization possibilities across three different styles of countertops, each with custom widths and lengths, plus shipping—sounds insane, but Jessica Carter of Quadrants Development made it feel feathery light.
