I have been trying for two days to figure out how to get conditional logic to work with my new form. Then I finally discovered that conditional logic does not work with categories. Aaarrgh. This complicates thing. I was hoping to use this for a directory interface. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-to-draft-not-working-properly#post-12362 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 15:24:48 +0000 Alex Cancado 12362@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hamed,<br /> Unfortunately, this is not possible in the current version unless you use one of the hooks and change the post body via PHP. If using PHP is an option, I can send you a code snippet </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-to-draft-not-working-properly#post-12360 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 14:37:56 +0000 hamedf 12360@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Alex,</p> <p>thanks, but this is how i have done it already.<br /> I need to insert different text structure around the {Textarea_a:1}.<br /> Is there any way i can realize this?</p> <p>It would be so much better if you can use conditional logic in addition to the post body and even post title * and even post category.</p> <p>This way you can adjust everything.</p> <p>For example : I have a drop down menu where one can choose what kind of content the user is providing ( link, video, image or text ). Then, accordingly, i wanted to put it into differnt categories. Plus, the body content would change.</p> <p>Is there any way i could realize this? If not, i would really suggest you to fully integrate conditional logic with various post elements.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Hamed </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-to-draft-not-working-properly#post-12341 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 11:54:52 +0000 Alex Cancado 12341@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hamed,<br /> Version 1.5 won't allow you to have more than one post body or post title field.</p> <p>What you can do in your case is to add one post body to the form, mark it as admin only and set the Post Content Template to include other textarea fields in your form (i.e. {Textarea_a:1}{Textarea_b:2}). You will then add these two regular text area fields and configure the conditional logic to them (like you are doing now with the post body) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-to-draft-not-working-properly#post-12330 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 10:55:58 +0000 hamedf 12330@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>i have a similar issue.</p> <p>I am using different post bodys depending on conditional logic.</p> <p>So if the user chooses a specific variable, it will use that post body - otherwise i want to use another post body.</p> <p>Is this not possible?</p> <p>How would it be possible to use conditional logic for post body?<br /> Same problem by the way for the post title.</p> <p>Looking forward for your help.</p> <p>Hamed </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-to-draft-not-working-properly#post-12091 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 11:51:21 +0000 Carl Hancock 12091@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The issue is you have multiple Post Body fields on the form. Only one Post Body field is supposed to be used. </p> <p>You can't add multiple Post Body fields, if you do only the last one is actually stored because it doesn't know what to do with the others. In the upcoming 1.5 release there is validation in place to prevent you from adding multiple Post Body fields.</p> <p>Posts only have one Post Body. They don't have multiple. This is why only one is being stored.</p> <p>If you need to insert the value of multiple fields into the Post Body then you need to use the Post Content Template feature that is on the Post Body field. This allows you to insert the value of multiple fields in your Post Body to dynamically create it. If you turn this feature on then you need to use the Insert Form Fields dropdown to insert the field values you want to use in your Post Body, similar to how you create Notifications. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-to-draft-not-working-properly#post-12073 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 10:20:36 +0000 astahl11 12073@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Bump...any idea on when I can get this looked at?
