Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Once we have a release candidate, we will be contacting you to help us test this.</p> <p>jrgkgb,<br /> I am having a hard time finding a solution for the includes in the preview.php file. The problem is that the preview page runs out of WordPress context (we go directly to .../plugins/gravityforms/preview.php to load the preview), so none of the global variables are defined. It will take a little re-work on my part to get the includes to use WP's global variables, so I won't be able to include it in v.1.1, but I will make sure it gets addressed in the following release </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-fails-on-activation-for-external-content-folder-wordpress-install#post-329 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:17:38 +0000 Carl Hancock 329@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We are certainly going to look into implementing this change, it might even make it into the 1.1 release which we are wrapping up now. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-fails-on-activation-for-external-content-folder-wordpress-install#post-326 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:14:12 +0000 jrgkgb 326@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I had the exact same issues and resolved it in the exact same way. It would be great to add this feature to the header and footer calls in the preview screens too, as on non-standard installs the same problem manifests. </p> <p>Really anywhere you're calling core WP files, using the WP constants would be appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks! This is a great plugin. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-fails-on-activation-for-external-content-folder-wordpress-install#post-325 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:56:23 +0000 Carl Hancock 325@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks! I can't guarantee that this will make it into the v1.1 release as development on it is wrapping up and we have to start testing in order to be able to release it. Don't want to delay what we already have ready to go. But we will look at including this in the 1.2 release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-fails-on-activation-for-external-content-folder-wordpress-install#post-324 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:39:03 +0000 Overton 324@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Very good. If he needs someone to test it, I have both standard and modified installs readily at hand. Having purchased a developer's license, I am now invested in your success. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/plugin-fails-on-activation-for-external-content-folder-wordpress-install#post-319 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:40:10 +0000 Carl Hancock 319@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Overton, i'll forward this to our lead developer to take a look at.

Any chance you can take the time to provide a version of this line that's independent of where the content folder is and where WordPress is installed?</p> <p>Blue skies,<br /> -Aaron</p> <p>P.S. Just below, where it says "Tags", it's "separated" not "seperated". :) </p>
