Or do you have to have the lasso capabilities that that jQuery script has? I ask because what you want to do sounds like something that could be done with the Radio Button field (which accepts HTML in the option name) rather than going through the work of creating a custom field type. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-field#post-22353 Sun, 03 Apr 2011 14:17:08 +0000 kelsallsuits 22353@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I'm trying to create a new custom field type in my form, an image select (similar to <a href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/selectable/#display-grid" rel="nofollow">http://jqueryui.com/demos/selectable/#display-grid</a> but images displayed instead of text). Thinking the admin interface should be similar to what's available for something like the Checkboxes, user adds an array of image URLs that are "selectable" and can optionally add a value for this or just have it default to the index of the image.</p> <p>Unfortunately this is my first time using Gravity and I'm having difficulty knowing where to start. Started with a plugin that successfully added my new custom field button "Image Select" to the Advanced Settings, but honestly I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out next steps. It seems as though I should next add the field's settings via <code>gform_field_standard_settings</code> and <code>gform_tooltips</code>. After that, add formatting when this new element type is defined. But I'm not positive.</p> <p>I've tried searching, and I can't see any tutorials that walk someone through creating their own custom field type. If one exists, please point me to it.</p> <p>Best,<br /> Mike </p>
