Then employee's could just add their name to the form... This is not a bad idea -- thanks! I love creative solutions. If need be, though, I'll just add a blank field to the form, or call it "admin only" or something like that. Probably the easiest thing to do.

Then employee's could just add their name to the form url like this: <code><a href="http://yoursite.com/formurl/?completedby=Bill" rel="nofollow">http://yoursite.com/formurl/?completedby=Bill</a> Richards</code> Bare in mind, they would have to refresh the page after adding the url variable to ensure that the hidden field is able to receive the value and pre-populate it. Not the most elegant solution, but bare bones and simple.

If you are using different forms but each form has the same fields you want to target, you can add classes to the fields in the GF admin and target them with jQuery that way. I'm still not 100% sure what you're end goal is here. If you'd be willing to share a link to the form in question, I'm sure I could give you a much more helpful answer. You can send it to <a href="mailto:david@ounceoftalent.com">david@ounceoftalent.com</a>.

I just couldn't pinpoint what the culprit was. I disabled page caching initially, but it made no difference. So I activated it back again. I was afraid that the people filling out forms might slow the site down and that they might be disappointed. Anyway, I deactivated database caching. What about page caching? Will it have any effect? What about the counter? I erased already all entries; deactivated database caching; emptied all cached pages; but the counter still read All - 186 Unread-186 even if there are no more entries. Is this natural? Carl Hancock on "What would be the best way to do this?" http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-would-be-the-best-way-to-do-this#post-8012 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:49:40 +0000 Carl Hancock 8012@http://forum.gravityhelp.com/ Nope, fields are output before the submit button. If they appeared after the submit button they would be outside the form itself and wouldn't submit with it because the form closes right after the submit button. Is the person submitting the form going to be logged in? If so it would be possible to populate a hidden field with the username of the person filling out the form. But that would require a customization via PHP. Easy to do, but takes PHP knowledge to do so.

Carl Hancock on "Move Description Up a Tad ?" http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/move-description-up-a-tad#post-8009 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:13:07 +0000 Carl Hancock 8009@http://forum.gravityhelp.com/ As Kevin said above, add these styles to your THEME stylesheet... never edit the Gravity Forms forms.css file directly as plugin upgrades will overwrite your changes. Carl Hancock on "Older Entries being replaced by new ones" http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/older-entries-being-replaced-by-new-ones#post-8008 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:12:06 +0000 Carl Hancock 8008@http://forum.gravityhelp.com/ You are most likely running some sort of caching plugin that is doing database caching. Any plugin that does database caching that doesn't whitelist the Gravity Forms related tables can cause problems with entry submissions because it interferes with database interaction. I believe the latest (not older) version of W3 Total Cache's database caching is compatible with Gravity Forms as it should whitelist our database tables and never use cache for database interaction for forms. Check your plugins and see what caching plugins you are using. Kevin Flahaut on "Move Description Up a Tad ?" http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/move-description-up-a-tad#post-8007 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:00:54 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 8007@http://forum.gravityhelp.com/ If you want to change them all, you can adjust the top padding for all the description fields this way.. just append this to the end of your THEME style sheet. <code>.gform_wrapper .gfield_description {padding:4px 0 8px 0; }</code> If you want to change just one field, view the page source and get the field id, then do something like this - of course, changing the example id (#field_1_2) to the one in your form <code>li#field_1_2 .gfield_description {padding:4px 0 8px 0; }</code> SoundsGood on "Move Description Up a Tad ?" http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/move-description-up-a-tad#post-8006 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:50:10 +0000 SoundsGood 8006@http://forum.gravityhelp.com/ I think I found what needs to be changed: .gform_wrapper .gfield_description { font-style:italic; padding:10px 0 8px; } Looks like padding 10px needs to change to 1px But how do I make this change?

So, when there are about 10 people filling out forms and the gap in the time they submitted the form is very minimal, only 1 entry is reflected. The most irritating part is that the ALL counter on the upper left reflects the number of entries submitted even when you can see only one. The counter continuously adds up even after you have exported the entries and none can be seen anymore. The worst part is I discovered this only after going live. It was a nightmare as I kept on losing data that had been submitted already. I tested the form yes, but since I was the only one testing, everything was ok, until 5 or more people started filling out forms all at once. It seems that there has to be some gap in the submission in order for the entries to add up and to be reflected accurately. Please help. Am using the latest version. eCurtis on "Add a Class to the Redirect Link" http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-a-class-to-the-redirect-link#post-8003 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 01:57:45 +0000 eCurtis 8003@http://forum.gravityhelp.com/ I took a look at the code and I see that it is not a link but rather: return "<script>document.location.href='$url';</script>"; So I guess the odds are low of opening that in a lightbox.

But there is an API hook you can use to change the form action. Here is an example: <pre><code>add_filter("gform_form_tag", "form_tag", 10, 2); function form_tag($form_tag, $form){ $form_tag = preg_replace("|action='(.*?)'|", "action='custom_handler.php'", $form_tag); return $form_tag;</code></pre> But again, I don't recommend it unless you really know what you are doing.

We appreciate it. First of all, you might want to check this out if you haven't already. It's a visual guide that lays out the basic form structure with ids and classes <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/visual-css-guide/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/visual-css-guide/</a> You can refer back to this recent post on targeting the inputs for styling. In that particular instance, the member wanted to change the background color, but you can apply whatever properties you want. <a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-field-box-colour#post-7627" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-field-box-colour#post-7627</a> As far as the differences in the multi-line field, I simply can't tell you anything definitive without seeing it. Most likely there is some kind of line-height/size setting applied to the textarea element in your theme stylesheet that's causing the difference. When it comes to the select (drop down) fields, there's very little you can do to style them without using some combination of CSS and scripting. It's not a plugin limitation, it's limited by how the different browsers render the element. You can usually change the background color, and sometimes the font size, but it's not at all consistent across browsers. That said, if you want to target just the select fields for styling, here's how you do it. <code>.gform_wrapper select {background-color:#EEEEEE;}</code> Hope that helps out. laverne_web on "Populating Time Fields?" http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-time-fields#post-7990 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:09:21 +0000 laverne_web 7990@http://forum.gravityhelp.com/ I think I tried every possible combination, except for the space! :) Thanks so much for the tip.

I love Thesis and it rocks even more with Gravity Forms! I had a couple of questions that I hope you can provide a generic answer to since my website has a maintenance plugin running and I cannot link you to my site. I'm getting pretty good a css, but the Gravity Forms ID's and Classes are still a little confusing for me. 1. How do I change the font type and size within the input fields? 2. Why is the text smaller in the multi-lin paragraph field and how can I make it the same size as the other fields? 3. I tried and tried, but I can't adjust the background color or fonts of the drop-down menus. Thank you for the great plug-in.
