You can close this topic. Thanks, Travis Travis on "Creating a New Field" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-a-new-field#post-44171 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:44:31 +0000 Travis 44171@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Now, when I test the Field Size, it is not resizing appropriately. Isn't this accurate? <pre><code>// Adds the input area to the external side add_action( "gform_field_input" , "wps_tos_field_input", 10, 5 ); function wps_tos_field_input ( $input, $field, $value, $lead_id, $form_id ){ //print_r($field); if ( $field["type"] == "tos" ) { $max_chars = ""; if(!IS_ADMIN && !empty($field["maxLength"]) && is_numeric($field["maxLength"])) $max_chars = self::get_counter_script($form_id, $field_id, $field["maxLength"]); $input_name = $form_id .'_' . $field["id"]; $tabindex = GFCommon::get_tabindex(); return sprintf("<div class='ginput_container'><textarea name='input_%s' id='%s' class='textarea %s' $tabindex rows='10' cols='50'>%s</textarea></div>{$max_chars}", $field["id"], 'tos-'.$field['id'] , $field["type"] . ' ' . esc_attr($field['cssClass']) , esc_html($value)); } return $input; }</code></pre> Alex Cancado on "Creating a New Field" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-a-new-field#post-44128 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 06:27:27 +0000 Alex Cancado 44128@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ You are close. In your code snippet above, replace: <pre><code>fieldSettings["textarea"] += ", .tos_setting";</code></pre> with <pre><code>//Add all textarea settings to the "TOS" field plus custom "tos_setting" fieldSettings["tos"] = fieldSettings["textarea"] + ", .tos_setting";</code></pre> Travis on "Creating a New Field" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-a-new-field#post-44116 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:16:16 +0000 Travis 44116@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks Alex. I've incorporated this; however, this adds a placement input area to OTHER fields, but not the newly created custom field, TOS. Here's the newly added code from the previous pastebin: <pre><code>add_action( "gform_editor_js", "my_gform_editor_js" ); function my_gform_editor_js(){ ?> <script type='text/javascript'> //adding setting to fields of type "text" fieldSettings["textarea"] += ", .tos_setting"; //binding to the load field settings event to initialize the checkbox jQuery(document).bind("gform_load_field_settings", function(event, field, form){ jQuery("#field_tos").val(field["tos"]); }); </script> <?php }</code></pre> New pastebin: <a href="http://pastebin.com/iDxYWPbY" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/iDxYWPbY</a> Is there a way to add a conditional. What I am trying to do is to create an advanced version of the Paragraph Text. And this is a big stumbling block for me. In essence I want to add an input text box to the Settings, but everything else should be the same.

In that example, note line 24: <pre><code>fieldSettings["text"] += ", .encrypt_setting";</code></pre> This line is assigning the new custom setting "encrypt_setting" to fields of type text. You will need to do something similar to your custom field, but replacing "text" with your custom field name. You can also assign any of the built-in settings such as label, default value, conditional logic, etc... I don't have a full list of all available settings, but if you look at the end of the gravityforms/js/forms.js file, you will see how the built-in settings are assigned to the existing fields. That should help you choose the settings you need for your field.

How do I 'enable' them? Here's my attempt so far: <a href="http://pastebin.com/Kgf195d2" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/Kgf195d2</a>
