They do have an iframe option and their website has some examples that should help you get yours setup.</p> <p>The idea is to create a "blank" page template (without header and footer), and include your Gravity Forms to a page assigned to that page template.</p> <p>Then use the URL to that page template when setting up your iframe popup. When you do that, your form will feel like an AJAX form, but it will actually do a full refresh and it will get around the limitation with the shortcode in the confirmation. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/bug-with-ajax-and-shortcode-confirmation#post-148834 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 00:23:52 +0000 Chris Hajer 148834@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll let Alex know you're looking for help with this one. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/bug-with-ajax-and-shortcode-confirmation#post-147046 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:24:28 +0000 ghalleb 147046@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Do you have some code I could use for the iframe solution?

I understand this is important to you, but it is not considered a critical bug. The only thing I can tell you is that it is in the list as a bug, so it will eventually be worked on.</p> <p>As I am not sure this will be ready for your current project, I would suggest that you think of a different approach to this problem. If you do need to use the shortcode in the confirmation, you will need to disable AJAX for that form. Maybe use an iframe to achieve the AJAX feel? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/bug-with-ajax-and-shortcode-confirmation#post-146424 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:46:09 +0000 Chris Hajer 146424@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll bring this back to Alex's attention for an update. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/bug-with-ajax-and-shortcode-confirmation#post-146110 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:22:42 +0000 ghalleb 146110@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Any news?</p> <p>Perhaps a estimate date for the correction.<br /> It begins to be urgent for me.... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/bug-with-ajax-and-shortcode-confirmation#post-121907 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:23:28 +0000 Chris Hajer 121907@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll send this back to Alex.

It is not the case right now as it is filled with the data from the previous form. The pre-render data are overwritten with the previous data, and it's a big problem for me.</p> <p>If you need help, feel free to ask me. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/bug-with-ajax-and-shortcode-confirmation#post-117832 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:41:34 +0000 Alex Cancado 117832@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@ghalleb,<br /> It does look like you hit a limitation of Gravity Forms. Including another form in a confirmation of an AJAX form won't work. The solution seems simple at first, but it quickly starts getting messy. I agree this is a disappointing limitation, but I have added it to our todo list as a bug and we will work on getting it resolved. I am not sure when it will be done, but we will get there. </p>
