I was stating its definitely doesn't deserve the bragging as my friend stated. Not in my opinion. I am stating it doesn't do what I need it to do. I should have read more into it before I purchased it. Wordpress Form Manager as well as others give a front end view of the results. I have the site working using the plugin via the post...however, for this application, I have decided to scratch using wordpress completely. I am using Symfony2 for this application as it will be a much better suited platform to go with for what I need to develop.</p> <p>Take note that I did state to the ones on here thanking them for their persistent help. That wasn't sarcasm...that was sincere. Not every plugin or platform suits everyone or every application the same. For me...Gravity Forms doesn't cut it. It definitely does its job of inserting data into the tables via forms...but inability to show results front end should be a feature worth looking at. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/insert-form-modal-windows#post-79145 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:05:26 +0000 Carl Hancock 79145@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Before you go about bad mouthing and discounting Gravity Forms you need to completely understand the situation at hand.</p> <p>The issues you are encountering are not issues that users typically encounter. There isn't a problem with Gravity Forms. It's a problem with your site.</p> <p>There is something on your site that are causing the issues that you are describing. Typically it's a plugin or theme conflict caused by a poorly developed theme or plugin that prevents Gravity Forms from functioning properly. In some rare situations you can encounter issues caused by obscure server settings.</p> <p>Because this is a site specific issue and not a problem we can replicate locally the only real way for us to see what is going on is to access the site where the issue you are reporting is occurring. In order to do so we would need access to that site and step by step instructions on how to replicate the issue so we could take a look at it firsthand.</p> <p>If you'd like us to do so, we'd be glad to. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/insert-form-modal-windows#post-78997 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:25:17 +0000 jmonroe 78997@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I know it doesn't make sense but that's what happens. At least the post feature works. For my application, this will suit me. The only bad thing is that I was expecting more out of the plugin. My stupidity for not reading into it further. I was looking for a fast solution. Guess I will develop a table like layout to pull the data.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Edit: I wonder if I can sell this plugin to someone who might get some use out of it. I haven't even typed in the license for support number. I really don't see this plugin any better than Wordpress Form Manager, Ninja Forms, or some others I have used. The difference is that with Wordpress Form Manager, you can send the results out to a front end and style is as you need. Friend of mine told me that Gravity Forms was the next best thing to sliced bread...I beg to differ by a long shot.</p> <p>If you know of any way of reselling this plugin...let me know...otherwise, I can just delete it and just call the $39 bucks spent a loss. Thanks for all the persistent help though. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/insert-form-modal-windows#post-78975 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:07:11 +0000 David Peralty 78975@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So when you wrap text around the shortcode, does the text show and the shortcode get stripped out? It doesn't make any sense to me that it would work on a post instead of a page. </p> <p>Lastly, displaying the information is by default a back-end only thing. If you want to display it front-end, you will either have to develop something yourself, or use something like the Directory Add-on developed by a third party.</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-addons/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-addons/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/insert-form-modal-windows#post-78971 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:17:45 +0000 jmonroe 78971@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I tried that already and no it doesn't work. The plugin did work just now when I pasted the shortcode [gravityform id="1"] to a post versus a page. Wonder why that is happening. The other form plugins I have tried worked on pages when I was testing.</p> <p>Fortunately since its a restricted site...I can eliminate using a page and just use this on a post. There is no homepage so I will just let this be the homepage once the users login. This is strictly being used as a webapp.</p> <p>The main question I have is how do I get it to display the results in a tabular format (excel sheet like) onto a page so that the end user can view the listings? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/insert-form-modal-windows#post-78966 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 17:36:55 +0000 David Peralty 78966@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Okay, on the page you are inserting the shortcode on, can you put some text above and below the shortcode, just to confirm that other things are working correctly? </p> <p>So something like:</p> <p>This information *should* appear<br /> [gravityforms id='1']<br /> And so should this... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/insert-form-modal-windows#post-78964 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 17:25:03 +0000 jmonroe 78964@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have entered data into the preview screen and it successfully wrote to the database.

This site is being hosted on a hosting company for a client. Our company server is completely different than this wordpress install. We have customized wordpress extensively for our usage for our portal on our company servers...not the client. Unrelated to the task at hand. I was just stating that we have an extensive knowledge of wordpress but cannot figure out why this plugin isn't working. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/insert-form-modal-windows#post-78941 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:37:13 +0000 David Peralty 78941@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So when you say you have a highly customized version on your servers, what do you mean? The fact that it shows up in the preview is a good sign. So maybe something is stripping out the gravity forms shortcode... </p>
