Displaying it is possibly a different matter but this would still be a very useful and time saving feature for any form geek </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-picker-not-showing#post-360794 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 22:01:58 +0000 soupdigital 360794@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>The date picker is not showing on this form here (on this site I have updated to the latest GF: 1.7.6): <a href="http://www.prepit.co.nz/quick-quote/" rel="nofollow">http://www.prepit.co.nz/quick-quote/</a><br /> On my other site with a similar form it's working fine on the GF version: 1.6.12.</p> <p>Both sites have the latest download of Wordpress as well. </p> <p>I have searched the forum for similar issues but nothing really worked specific to this case from what I can see. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/cant-create-new-form-5#post-342567 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 17:38:59 +0000 Bajakits 342567@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi guys ...

I'd like to hide certain form fields from being sent/displayed in the email notification - without having to do that.<br /> Is there any other way I can somehow group certain fields (credit card details in this case) &amp; have a display:none !important (ok, perhaps not exactly like that) but somehow keep those form fields from being sent/displayed whilst retaining the {all_fields} option?<br /> You see it seems that if I do that (keep the {all_fields} option) then the fields that aren't filled in by the user aren't displayed in the email (the desired result), but if I start manually adding each individual form field/merge tag to the email notification - then all fields are displayed regardless of whether or not the user has filled in those form fields - making the email notification somewhat harrowing to trawl through for the client.<br /> See my dilema?<br /> Granted - I am probably missing something here, hence my question.<br /> Thanks for listening :)<br /> Jas </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/whats-up-with-add-form#post-320166 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 04:49:12 +0000 jeremy.s 320166@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I cannot create any more forms...?</p> <p><a href="http://snag.gy/tvtyC.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://snag.gy/tvtyC.jpg</a> </p>
