Although i'm not sure any of them currently add a custom field to the form editor. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/google-maps-2#post-33406 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 09:27:53 +0000 chucks 33406@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your responses. I gave it a little more thought and realized that for what I want it to do (geocode, etc.) it will probably require writing an add-on. Do you have add-on documentation? I could reverse engineer an add-on but it would certainly make things easier if you had docs. Again, Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/google-maps-2#post-33343 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:32:25 +0000 Carl Hancock 33343@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms does not currently have a Google Maps related field. </p> <p>It is possible to create a custom field type, however it is a more advanced customization. There is a hook used to do this but we don't currently have a tutorial on how to create a custom field from start to finish. </p> <p>This is the documentation for the hook you would use:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_add_field_buttons" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_add_field_buttons</a></p> <p>You won't be able to access it unless you own a license key. However, that is the hook that would be used... along with others i'm sure. It's a fairly advanced customization to implement your own custom field so you'd have to get familiar with how Gravity Forms works first before doing so. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/google-maps-2#post-33339 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:20:23 +0000 Chris Hajer 33339@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There is a ton of documentation and a hook called "gform_field_input" which can be used "to create custom field types." This documentation page shows its use with Google Maps specifically</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_input" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_input</a></p> <p>There are a couple other forum posts where people have implemented Google Maps as well. Only members who have purchased the plugin have access to those forums.</p> <p>So, depending on what you want to do with the map exactly, I would have to say that yes, you can integrate Google Maps and Gravity Forms. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/google-maps-2#post-33312 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:52:31 +0000 chucks 33312@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would like to use a Google Map in a form. Does Gravity Forms have this capability or would I have to create a field type myself, and if so do you have an API and/or documentation on creating a field type? Or is there a better way? </p>
