This is a simple fix that worked like a charm, but the fact that Gravity can't be bothered to implement the option for users seems pretty silly... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/place-description-before-the-field#post-50133 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:09:14 +0000 dasusman 50133@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Kevin. It's not a big deal, but my situation is that I have one site with many different users creating forms. Gravity Forms is great for this because it requires no programming skills. I plan to use one theme for all the forms, and the description looks better above the input. Users will be creating forms on the fly without my assistance. I'll have to either train all the users to change the description location setting, or go in to all the forms and change it myself. Hence the request for a default.</p> <p>Keep up the work with your fantastic product. It's streamlining many of our business processes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/place-description-before-the-field#post-50063 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:01:11 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 50063@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Nope, the defaults stay the same they were before. You'll have to change it per form. Honestly, it's one selection in the settings to make per form so probably not that big of a deal. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/place-description-before-the-field#post-50017 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:07:26 +0000 dasusman 50017@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I believe that the location of the description, above or below input, can now be set in Form Settings. Is there a way to set the default to "above input?" </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/place-description-before-the-field#post-29984 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 11:13:15 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 29984@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No, It probably isn't going to make the next release but we do plan on incorporating an option for the description placement sometime in the very near future along with some other field enhancements. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/place-description-before-the-field#post-29983 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 11:10:57 +0000 Lettuce Design 29983@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Love love love including forms in my site but usually put the description with the question. In terms of hierarchy, it makes no sense to have a description below the entry field. Any chance of it going in the next release?!</p> <p>Thx!! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/place-description-before-the-field#post-26862 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 19:51:33 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 26862@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would put Davids code in your themes functions.php file.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/place-description-before-the-field#post-26857 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 17:41:09 +0000 Noel Green 26857@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Where would you put the "quick and dirty" code listed here? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/place-description-before-the-field#post-26849 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 16:33:34 +0000 David Smith 26849@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi offbeatempire, this is not a feature of v1.5.2.3. We hope that you find some use for some of the other features we've added in the past three months. Bare with us as we continue to add more useful features as consistently as we can. This feature request has not been forgotten. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/place-description-before-the-field#post-26832 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:24:15 +0000 offbeatempire 26832@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Three months later ... is this a feature that's included in v1.5.2.3? This feels like such an easy fix -- a checkbox in the advanced functions to say "Place field description above field?" </p>
