Gravity Wiz Weekly #84

Greetings, wizards. 🙂

We’ll keep things short and sweet this week. We’re still hard at work planning the rest of our year… so many projects to pick from, so many perks to prioritize!

Our palatial plotting hasn’t stopped us from getting a wizard’s weight in wands done this week. Lots of free resources for your review along with a laundry list of updates to our Gravity Perks suite. Pay especial attention to the new Date Time Calculator Beta 4.0!

Alright, wizards. Until next week. ⚡️

Gravity Perks

Easy Passthrough (v1.4.13)

• Fixed issue where session was not correctly set when loading last entry submitted by user.
• Fixed notice generated when mapping non-field based entry values.

Date Time Calculator (v1.0-beta-4)

• Improved how GP Date Time Calculator handles mismatching calculations between what is submitted and what’s submitted after calculation.

After the entry is submitted, a warning note will be added to the entry and an e-mail containing the warning message will also be sent to the site’s admin e-mail.
• Added the following filters: gpdtc_warning_max_delta, gpdtc_send_delta_warning_admin_email, gpdtc_delta_warning_email_recipient, and gpdtc_add_delta_warning_entry_note.
• Fixed issue where dependent Time fields wouldn’t always trigger a calculation. This also fixes a compatibility issue with GP Nested Forms and Time fields in calculations.
• Deprecated the following filters: gpdtc_validation_max_delta, gpdtc_email_admin_on_rejected_calc, gpdtc_rejected_calc_email_to.

eCommerce Fields (v1.0.35)

Populate Anything (v1.0-beta-4.17)
