Feel free to correct me on this if you have a method that works.</p> <p>In regards to the print_form_scripts() function, you can do this a couple ways. </p> <p>1) Print the scripts inline with the Gravity Form wherever the shortcode is found.<br /> 2) Similarly to your own idea, set a flag if the scripts need to be loaded, then add a hook in the footer to user the print_form_scripts() function that checks the flag and if true, prints the scripts in the footer. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/enqueuing-scripts-for-custom-content-area#post-34086 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 17:43:30 +0000 Steve.Taylor 34086@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Why can't you have a filter on <code>the_content</code> which would then enqueue with the <code>$in_footer</code> parameter set to <code>true</code>? Then, if some content with a Gform shortcode is placed somewhere after the header has rendered, the scripts would go in the footer.</p> <p>Regarding <code>GFFormDisplay::print_form_scripts</code> (line 1175?), do you mean to print the scripts inside the <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> when <code>the_content</code> filter is run? Or to set a flag in <code>the_content</code>, and then print scripts in the footer if the flag is set? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/enqueuing-scripts-for-custom-content-area#post-34064 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 16:26:54 +0000 David Smith 34064@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Steve,</p> <p>The problem is "the_content" fires way too late for enqueueing scripts/styles. Enqueueing styles needs to happen before the header is rendered.</p> <p>What you can do is print the scripts using the GFFormDisplay::print_form_scripts($form, $ajax); function. For more details, take a look form_display.php circa line 700. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/enqueuing-scripts-for-custom-content-area#post-34046 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:34:42 +0000 Steve.Taylor 34046@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using some custom meta boxes with TinyMCE fields to let the client edit separate tabs on a page. When they embed a Gravity Form in one of these fields, the necessary scripts don't get enqueued.</p> <p>It looks like this is because <code>GFFormDisplay::enqueue_scripts</code> looks through the current WP query content for forms. I'm wondering, might it be possible for Gravity Forms to scan for forms using the <code>the_content</code> filter? I output all my custom TinyMCE fields with this filter, so presumably the forms would be detected, and the scripts would go in the footer.</p> <p>Meantime, could you help me with a hack? I've tried this in my theme's functions.php:</p> <pre><code>add_filter( &#39;the_content&#39;, &#39;slt_enqueue_gforms_scripts&#39; ); function slt_enqueue_gforms_scripts( $content ) { $forms = GFFormDisplay::get_embedded_forms( $content, $ajax ); foreach( $forms as $form) GFFormDisplay::enqueue_form_scripts( $form, $ajax ); return $content; }</code></pre> <p>However, it seems that <code>enqueue_scripts</code> can't call <code>get_embedded_forms</code>, because the latter is a private method. Any way to do this? </p>
