I own a Mac. I personally would love for someone to remote into my PC (I have Teamviewer installed) and show me how to set this up. </p> <p>The instruction isn't as EASY as I was TOLD. Please help me.<br /> If not, I'll be forced to ask for a refund (which I really don't want to do).</p> <p>Do you guys have a number I can call? Boy... Do I need some Tech Support!! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-exportingimporting-from-local-to-live-website#post-104619 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:34:39 +0000 seansean11 104619@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hopefully this will be easier in the future. Finding and replacing css on a several page custom form is not optimal, especially when the characters "_1" also appear in areas where they should not be changed. ie: example_1_16 . Find and replace all would then change this to: example_2_26, instead of: example_2_16. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-exportingimporting-from-local-to-live-website#post-104617 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:30:25 +0000 David Peralty 104617@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You should be able to quickly copy your custom CSS to notepad and do a find/replace. Beyond that, there isn't much else that can be done when you are using form specific CSS classes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-exportingimporting-from-local-to-live-website#post-104606 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:05:24 +0000 seansean11 104606@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Everyone,</p> <p>Maybe I'm missing something here, but I just wasted about a 1/2 hour publishing my form from my local development to the live site. </p> <p>I set up the form locally and had styled it with custom css based on id's and class's that included "1_" (which references the forms id #- which I didn't know). I wanted to put the form on the live site, so I exported the form XML and then imported it onto the live site. I then deleted the previous form and realized that I needed to reset the short tag on the page where the new form will be displayed, because the form now had an id = 2. I updated the short tag and went to view the form in action on the site. A lot of my css additions had disappeared and unbeknownst to me the id's and classes had changed their # prefix to "_2". In the end, I ended up exporting the local tables from PHP myadmin and overwriting what was on the live sites database. I looked into changing the id's of the forms in phpmyadmin, but couldn't figure it out. </p> <p>My point here is that there must be a better way to do this, that I don't know about. Can anybody lend me a hand?</p> <p>Thank You,<br /> Sean </p>
