This is a limitation with the way our fields are named and we don't have any plans to changing that.<br /> As far as passing form_meta information via the shortcode, what I would suggest is adding a hidden field to the form, and prepopulating it via the shortcode using the field_values properties. See the following doc page:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Allow_field_to_be_populated_dynamically" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Allow_field_to_be_populated_dynamically</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/message-with-maximum-numbers-of-characters-is-shown-multiple-times#post-59306 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:28:54 +0000 cohen 59306@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>By the way. It would be quite cool to extend the shortcode [gravityform id=# name=TEXT title=boolean description=boolean ajax=boolean] with a paramter ID, that is saved within a member of the form-object.<br /> This can the be used for simple prepopulating the data with the gform_pre_render-filter.<br /> Do you think something like that will be possible in one of the next updates? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/message-with-maximum-numbers-of-characters-is-shown-multiple-times#post-59303 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:18:10 +0000 cohen 59303@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here is the short piece of code how I add the forms to the page:<br /> foreach($allPosts as $aPost){<br /> $BE_ID=$aPost-&gt;ID;<br /> if($BE_ACTION!=$BE_ID){<br /> $del_Link=add_query_arg(array('be_action' =&gt; $aPost-&gt;ID));<br /> $content_string='[gravityform id="'.$form_id.'" name="Kontakt" title="false" description="false"]';<br /> $content_string.='[button link="'.$del_Link.'" type="icon" icon="warning"]löschen[/button]';<br /> echo do_shortcode($content_string);<br /> }<br /> else<br /> deleteBEPost($BE_ID,$post_type);<br /> }</p> <p>$BE_ID is a global variable, I save the current post ID in.</p> <p>As you see I iterate through all posts of a certain type and add the corresponding form to the page.<br /> Via "add_filter('gform_pre_render', 'populate_data');" I populate the data to each form, using $BE_ID to set the data from the correct post for each form. It really works very goods. So far no problem.<br /> The only problem I recognized until now, is the problem with the counter message. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/message-with-maximum-numbers-of-characters-is-shown-multiple-times#post-59300 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:50:57 +0000 Rob Harrell 59300@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I noticed that all 3 of your forms have the same ID (gform_wrapper_10). How exactly are you inter-linking these forms? Are you using custom code, do they have any relation to each other? I've never seen more than 1 of the same form ID work on a single page before. So this could be related. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/message-with-maximum-numbers-of-characters-is-shown-multiple-times#post-59297 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:39:01 +0000 cohen 59297@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No, the repeated messages are not shown in the formbuilder preview. They just appear if there are more than one form on the page.<br /> In the example (see link above):<br /> If I delete the users entries, so that there is just one form on the page, the messages are shown one time only, too.<br /> The error just happens if there are more than one form on the page.<br /> Perhaps one necessary information.<br /> I set the form via shortcode ([gravityform id=# name=TEXT title=boolean description=boolean ajax=boolean]) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/message-with-maximum-numbers-of-characters-is-shown-multiple-times#post-59263 Thu, 17 May 2012 10:04:27 +0000 Rob Harrell 59263@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Edwin, when you preview that form from within the formbuilder preview do you see the repeated messages? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/message-with-maximum-numbers-of-characters-is-shown-multiple-times#post-59238 Thu, 17 May 2012 07:18:10 +0000 cohen 59238@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>On my page I use the same gravity forms via shortcode multiple times.<br /> With the top form the user is able to add an entry.<br /> Below this form the user can change previous entries with prepopulated forms.</p> <p>Theres is the problem, that the message showing the maximum number of characters for a text field is shown multiple times.<br /> I know that this bug was reported and should have been fixed with version v1.6.3.2.<br /> Today I updated to v1.6.4.2.1 and the problem is still there.<br /> See <a href="http://yellowcapp.synology-ds.de/concappt/BackendConcappt" rel="nofollow">http://yellowcapp.synology-ds.de/concappt/BackendConcappt</a> for an example (be patient...this is my development environment).<br /> You have to login with user: "test" and password: "test.<br /> Below the input field "Name" you can see the multiple messages.<br /> Is there any possibility to download version v1.6.3.2 of the plugin, so that I can test against it?</p> <p>With kind regards,<br /> Edwin </p>
