Documentation for this hook is here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_add_field_buttons" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_add_field_buttons</a></p> <p>We will have to write up a good tutorial on it's usage when we get some time. But it is possible to add a custom field type to the form editor using this hook. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-drop-downs#post-25264 Wed, 11 May 2011 05:54:14 +0000 Tony Jansen 25264@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-drop-downs#post-9064 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 08:25:52 +0000 vinnyslevin 9064@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-drop-downs#post-3965 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 10:04:15 +0000 kyounger 3965@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-drop-downs#post-3935 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:06:30 +0000 sc0ttkclark 3935@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Even with the existing Gravity Forms API, I still believe some sort of custom action hook to output additional options or what-not into the Form fields would be great. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-drop-downs#post-645 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 08:39:52 +0000 camber 645@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I really like the idea of a drop down field API - it would be very useful for creating forms with menus using data from other plugins. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-drop-downs#post-536 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:20:53 +0000 sc0ttkclark 536@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sounds good Alex! Keep up the good work gang! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-drop-downs#post-533 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:49:36 +0000 Alex Cancado 533@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK, I think I get the picture. This is obviously a little more involving than what I was talking about, but it makes complete sense. Maybe a good start will be the simpler drop down field API you talked about. We can then see how that shaped up and go from there. We are in the middle of the 1.2 release now, but once that is out, I will touch base with you and see if we can start getting this API going.<br /> Thanks for the support! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-drop-downs#post-525 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:14:37 +0000 sc0ttkclark 525@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>For instance, Pods would like to integrate with other plugins as much as possible, so having this would make it easy for Pods and other plugins to have their data represented.</p> <p>All that's really needed (for the majority of plugins) is a simple drop down API, where you can hook in your name / value pairs, and give the drop down a label (what it appears as in the right-hand side where you click to add).</p> <p>Additionally, hooking into custom fields for plugins to create special fields like an AJAX uploader, or an infinite number of other fields imaginable - would be great to have. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-drop-downs#post-524 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:06:42 +0000 Carl Hancock 524@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Alex, I think what Scott is looking for is support for adding new field types to the admin. So like "Post Fields" you can add your own custom field types. </p>
