Gravity Wiz Weekly 257

Greetings, wizards!

It’s crunch time in the wizard tower. We’re in the last month of the quarter, which means we’ve got some big releases brewing. 😉

But while there is plenty of magic in the pipeline, it’s that time of the week where we share all the spells we have ready for you now. 🧙‍♂️

Preview Submission: Collapsible Sections

If you’ve ever had a big, multi-page form (think job applications, insurance claims, or speaker submissions), there’s a good chance you wanted to let your users review their submission before they submit the form.

But just dumping out all of their hard-entered data might be a bit overwhelming. What if it was grouped in collapsible sections instead? Then the user could collapse each section after they confirmed the details and move on to the next. Merlin’s beard, that just might work!

So how do we accomplish this?

1. GP Preview Submission: A perk that allows users to review their submission before they hit the final submit button.
2. GF All Fields Template: A free plugin that allows you to customize the output of the Gravity Forms {all_fields} merge tag — both the markup and which fields are included/excluded.
3. All Fields Template: Collapsible Sections: A brand new snippet that adds a “collapsible” template for the GF All Field Template plugin.

Secret Product: Bookings for Gravity Forms

There’s a really good story about how Clay and I became partners at Gravity Wiz—it began a long time ago with an idea for an incredibly flexible, wizardly robust bookings solution.

I’ll share the tale when we release our latest magical perk: GP Bookings.

GP Bookings is built to handle all types of bookings—appointments, rentals, reservations, events, tours—the sky’s the limit. And if you own airspace, well, you can book that too.

Right now, we’re looking for adventurous customers with real-world booking needs to help us put this powerhouse plugin through its paces. If that’s you, let’s make some magic.

New: Product Updates

Gravity Perks: We updated Gravity Perks’ plugin description for the first time since it was drafted 12 long years ago. Our perks haven’t been small in a long time. 😉

GP Limit Dates: By default, Limit Dates uses WordPress’ configured timezone when determining the current date. You can default to the user’s local time with this new filter.

GS Product Configurator: Forms are now sorted alphabetically by title when mapping a form to a WooCommerce product. This small quality-of-life improvement makes it even easier to create customizable WooCommerce products powered by Gravity Forms.

Make sure to peep the full change log below. 🐣

Advanced Merge Tags: Gravatar Support

We can’t stop adding new features to our free Advanced Merge Tags plugin. We really need to make this a perk at some point… 😅

So what did we add this time? Support for displaying a Gravatar for Email field merge tags! Usage is a breeze.

Display the default Gravatar image
{Email:1:gravatar}

Display the Gravatar image at 200px
{Email:1:gravatar,size[200]}

Return the URL of the Gravatar image
{Email:1:gravatar,format[url]

Ok, I couldn’t resist. One more video demo so you can see this in action too. 😄

Finale: Building Job Boards in Gravity Forms

Woah! Didn’t mean to make you wait so long for this one. We just kept packing our weeklies with so much content, this got bumped a few more times than it should have. 😆

Without further ado, enjoy the finale of our Building Job Boards in Gravity Forms video series where we teach you how to send those job applications to Notion or Google Sheets so you manage them more effectively.
