Function call is designed to be used when calling it via PHP. skiminvasion on "How to Put Form in a Widget?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-put-form-in-a-widget#post-8167 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 13:02:14 +0000 skiminvasion 8167@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Newport, Thanks for the tip, I've almost got it figured out using the Exec PHP plugin. The site is <a href="http://www.jonlash.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.jonlash.com</a> and the form's on the home page. When I just insert "<?php echo do_shortcode('[gravityform id=1]');?>" the form shows up, but won't display any information below it. What am I missing? (I've currently got it placed as the bottom widget so that the site can be functional for now) EDIT: figured out that the html widget doesn't seem to make a container for the contents unless there's a title typed out. Bizarre, but it's working for now wunderdojo on "How to Put Form in a Widget?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-put-form-in-a-widget#post-7873 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:51:08 +0000 wunderdojo 7873@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ David: Another easy way to do it is to use the Exec PHP plugin (<a href="http://bluesome.net/post/2005/08/18/50/" rel="nofollow">http://bluesome.net/post/2005/08/18/50/</a>) which lets you put code in your posts, pages and text and then use Wordpress's do_shortcode method like so: <?php echo do_shortcode('[gravityform id=9]');?> Carl Hancock on "How to Put Form in a Widget?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-put-form-in-a-widget#post-7863 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 12:31:26 +0000 Carl Hancock 7863@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ You can't copy-n-paste the form HTML, it won't submit properly. It has to be displayed using either the shortcode or function call for it to work properly. nicheplayer on "How to Put Form in a Widget?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-put-form-in-a-widget#post-7862 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 12:14:29 +0000 nicheplayer 7862@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks for the reply, Carl. What about just adding form HTML into an existing text/html widget? Carl Hancock on "How to Put Form in a Widget?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-put-form-in-a-widget#post-7861 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:49:25 +0000 Carl Hancock 7861@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Currently Gravity Forms does not have a built in widget but it is coming in the 1.3.14 version of Gravity Forms. We will be releasing a beta of 1.3.14 sometime in the next 1-2 weeks. Until then there is a 3rd party widget available from Joost de Valk at Yoast.com that acts as a Gravity Forms widget and allows you to place a Gravity Form in your sidebar. You can download it here: <a href="http://yoast.com/gravity-forms-widget-update/#gf-widget" rel="nofollow">http://yoast.com/gravity-forms-widget-update/#gf-widget</a> If you use Joost's widget you will need to add this code to your themes function.php file to enqueue the necessary JS and CSS which his widget doesn't do automatically: <pre><code>wp_enqueue_script("gforms_ui_datepicker", WP_PLUGIN_URL . "/gravityforms/js/jquery-ui/ui.datepicker.js", array("jquery"), "1.3.9", true); wp_enqueue_script("gforms_datepicker", WP_PLUGIN_URL . "/gravityforms/js/datepicker.js", array("gforms_ui_datepicker"), "1.3.9", true); wp_enqueue_script("gforms_conditional_logic_lib", WP_PLUGIN_URL . "/gravityforms/js/conditional_logic.js", array("gforms_ui_datepicker"), "1.3.9", true); wp_enqueue_style("gforms_css", WP_PLUGIN_URL . "/gravityforms/css/forms.css");</code></pre> nicheplayer on "How to Put Form in a Widget?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-put-form-in-a-widget#post-7857 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:32:13 +0000 nicheplayer 7857@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi Gravity Folks, How do I put a Gravity Form in a widget? (Similar to what we've done with aWeber HTML) I've tried both short form and php, neither work. I can't find HTML for my Gravity Form. Site is <a href="http://bigbearcabinrental.org/" rel="nofollow">http://bigbearcabinrental.org/</a> using StudioPress theme. (Let Us Help You is the form) Thanks. David
