I'm familiar with using the GF hooks but I'll let you know if I have any troubles. Thanks again! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/spaces-stripped-from-query-string-values#post-46025 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:00:34 +0000 Chris Hajer 46025@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Using the hooks to dump the object is a good idea. Do you need help selecting one? Seems like you need the gform_pre_submission to see what was submitted by the user, and then also something for the confirmation redirect to see what is actually present there. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/spaces-stripped-from-query-string-values#post-45922 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:31:27 +0000 44pixels 45922@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your help, your test form works great for me. Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure this one out yet as I'm still seeing space in my keyword submission.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jamsinternational.com/panellist-search" rel="nofollow">http://www.jamsinternational.com/panellist-search</a></p> <p>I suppose I could try using hooks to see at what stage this is happening and try and prevent it. Any other ides?</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/spaces-stripped-from-query-string-values#post-44858 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 00:05:12 +0000 Chris Hajer 44858@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That has not been my experience. In fact, I set up a form just a day or two ago to do just this. Here's the form:</p> <p><a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/google-search/" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/google-search/</a></p> <p>Submit search terms with spaces and you'll see they get converted to plusses for the query string.</p> <p>I submitted your form and I see that it is removing the spaces in the search terms. Can you post the links to the topics where you read about similar problems? I recall this happening but can't recall a specific resolution.</p> <p>I see you're using Gravity Forms 1.6.2 and WordPress 3.2.1 which should both be OK. I wonder if you search from the preview, do the spaces get stripped out of the query string? Also, can you try with the default theme rather than the WooTheme? Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/spaces-stripped-from-query-string-values#post-44776 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 02:00:23 +0000 44pixels 44776@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using the redirect on submit and query string features to create a "search" type form here - <a href="http://www.jamsinternational.com/panellist-search" rel="nofollow">http://www.jamsinternational.com/panellist-search</a></p> <p>If you type more than one word into the "Keyword" field and submit, for example "Arbitration Mediation" the resulting query string on the next page shows "ArbitrationMediation" with the spaces removed.</p> <p>Can you advise how I can make the query string retain/encode spaces? I saw a cuple similar questions when searching the forum, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.</p> <p>Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks! </p>
