Doing that allows 3rd party support to form around your solution which is extremely valuable from a marketing and usefulness perspective. Plus adding an API keeps you from chasing so many feature requests and lets us do it "self-serve" and "peer-to-peer" in many (most?) cases.</p> <p>Venture capitalist Fred Wilson from avc.com says "Do one thing, do it extremely well, and then add an API to let others extend what you offer." (I'm paraphrasing, of course.) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/apiset-of-hooks-for-defining-new-form-field-types#post-3410 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 20:17:59 +0000 Carl Hancock 3410@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It's really difficult to say. We work on things based on need and priority. We have a laundry list of features we plan on adding to the plugin that based on user feedback rank as a higher priority. It will be this year, but it's hard to tell you an exact release version or date at this time. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/apiset-of-hooks-for-defining-new-form-field-types#post-3404 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:43:26 +0000 Anonymous 3404@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Cool! </p> <p>I know you hate these kind of questions, but... when? :) Approximate is fine.</p> <p>Next week?<br /> Next month?<br /> Next quarter?<br /> Next year? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/apiset-of-hooks-for-defining-new-form-field-types#post-3394 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 11:29:28 +0000 Carl Hancock 3394@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Currently there is not an API hook for adding custom field types. We do plan on adding this in the future. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/apiset-of-hooks-for-defining-new-form-field-types#post-3373 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 02:46:12 +0000 Anonymous 3373@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>While you've got lots of field types and that's a great thing about Gravity Forms you can never meet everyone's specialized needs so I assumed you'd have an API/set of hooks to allow a developer to define a new field type but I've looked all over your website and even in the code and best I can tell there isn't one.</p> <p>If I missed it can you please point me to the docs and if it isn't there any chance you could add this sooner than later? Much thanks in advance. </p>
