This is something that’ll come in handy with forms creating timeline events. You can add a date field to the form and this will change the post date to match it. It might work the other way too, I didn’t try that. Take note of the notes below as this is setup for the date […]

Gravity Forms + Mermaid JS = Decision Flowcharts
I was building something in JSPlumb the other day1 and it prompted Tim to ask if we could build flowcharts based on survey responses so that respondents could see their choices in context. I thought we could and it led to this simple example2 that I think will have lots of interesting and broad applications […]

Gravity Forms Rich Text Editor Grayed Out Fix
This isn’t clean and I have no idea why this is behaving this way but . . . this is a way around it. Sometimes Gravity Forms won’t let me choose the “Use the Rich Text Editor” option but I really, really want to choose that option. It’s grayed out as you can see below. […]

Conditional Content Display in Gravity Forms Templates
I don’t know when the conditional shortcode was added or if it has always existed and I was just unaware . . . but the ability to use a shortcode wrapper to show/not show portions of content in blog posts created via Gravity Forms is all kinds of handy. As a quick example, the following […]

Gravity Forms – Regular URL for File Upload
I do a fair amount of Gravity Forms to posts. Many times those posts have files, mainly images, associated with them that I’d like to have embedded in the post. Gravity Forms did some changes a while back to prevent people from guessing where files are (which is good) but the secure URL change also […]
Set Default Gravity Forms From Email
On rampages we only have the ability to send out emails from rampages.us addresses. This caused a bit of confusion for me when our Gravity Forms email notifications stopped working.1 It seems like Gravity Forms now defaults to send emails from the form admin’s email address. In our case, that’s a vcu.edu domain . . […]
Password Protect Posts Created via Gravity Forms
A quick little plugin that sets the password for posts created via Gravity Forms. This came about as the result of a faculty request today. In this case it’ll grab the first form field and use that for the password. You could hardcode it into the plugin itself but I thought this gave a bit […]

Post Documents for Student Comments
Students writing short papers and posting them for comments from other students is a fairly common pattern among VCU faculty. It’s a nice entry point because it doesn’t require any radical rethinking but still starts to expand the audience for the work, has possibilities around peer review, and is a possible gateway to writing on […]
WordPress for Syllabus Submission
This post is specifically about addressing a syllabus submission problem but it’s worth thinking about more broadly. It should be pretty applicable to any structured data entry problem you have. These are often administrative chores (like this one) but could also be about cataloging grave markers or indexing resources or Collecting the syllabi for their […]
Gravity Forms + FacetWP = Gravatar People
Having just finished presenting1 at NMC. I said we all need to document more, to show examples and explain what we did. Making the notes for the presentation last night and being able to use the blog posts I’d already written really showed me the value of reflecting on little things in an ongoing way. […]
