Everybody has their own opinions about what is or is not adequate documentation. Personally, I think the wiki version is very comprehensive and will be more that adequate for most. We are planning to add some video tutorials as we go along to help as well. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-must-read-thread#post-13860 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 12:38:10 +0000 GCRInc 13860@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This plugin as great, as far as I can tell—except for the documentation. "Horrid," as twofus said, is not an understatement. It's good to hear that some new documentation is in the works for the next full release. </p> <p>BUT forums and wikis ≠ proper documentation. I've spent the better part of a week browsing the forums, trying to teach myself this program. Everyone—me, the developers, the support team—could've saved themselves some time if a few simple walk-throughs had been readily available. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-must-read-thread#post-13858 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 12:24:06 +0000 m4change 13858@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@Carl I'd like a pdf version, it'd be much easier to search through. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-must-read-thread#post-13848 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 00:53:42 +0000 twofus 13848@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>any spell check options for the textareas? I have multiple textareas on one form to check. Appreciate any suggestions if anything has been tested. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-must-read-thread#post-13813 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 14:38:14 +0000 HunterGatherer 13813@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@Carl,</p> <p>Thanks for responding about the docs. It would be great if you would just stuff the documentation in a PDF and make it available for download. I personally would print it out, stick it in a notebook and use it as a reference. And, a PDF would make it searchable. That would make the whole plug-in easier to use and save your time responding to questions. </p> <p>If others are like me, people just go to the forum first, instead of hunting through your page structure. But a PDF, would make it much easier to find answers. I think you would be surprised how much it would lighten your service requests.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>HG </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-must-read-thread#post-13764 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 00:03:38 +0000 twofus 13764@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>good stuff Kevin. Thank you kindly. If this novice can work with this product, anybody can.</p> <p>BTW, I'm going to try and implement the five column css Thursday. I'll let you know how it goes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-must-read-thread#post-13762 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 22:58:06 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 13762@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Great news. If you want to use the same tooltip we use in the admin, there are a few steps to setting it up and using it on the front end. I detailed how to do this in a post some time back. Here's the link with the how-to.</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-help-tips-next-to-a-field#post-7277" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-help-tips-next-to-a-field#post-7277</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-must-read-thread#post-13761 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 22:34:42 +0000 twofus 13761@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>my bad Kevin - I totally misunderstood you. It worked like a charm. </p> <p>Last question, if I may be allowed - do I need to resort to a third-party app for tool tips? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-must-read-thread#post-13760 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 22:08:36 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 13760@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, like I said in the original post, you create a class using the example I created. THEN, simply apply that class name to select fields in the admin. You click on the field name in the form builder, click on the advanced tab then add "myclassname" or whatever you call it in the CSS Class Name field. Save the form and you should see the change if you've applied it properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-must-read-thread#post-13759 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 22:04:26 +0000 twofus 13759@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think we're talking apples and oranges Kevin. I don't want all the labels to be red, just a few select ones. Is that possible? </p>
