We have had many multi-site users trying to centralize forms as well, so this is something we are willing to consider. We do have a lot of other things we are currently working on, so I don't see this feature being added soon enough to solve your immediate needs, but as I said, I will brainstorm this to the team and see if we can include it in one of the upcoming versions. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wordpress-mu-shared-forms-from-the-main-site-to-its-sub-site#post-92197 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:51:04 +0000 Chris Hajer 92197@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll bring this topic to the attention of the developers once more. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wordpress-mu-shared-forms-from-the-main-site-to-its-sub-site#post-92061 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:23:41 +0000 Mario 92061@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Support,</p> <p> Just wondering if you had a moment to look into this. Thanks.</p> <p>Mario </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wordpress-mu-shared-forms-from-the-main-site-to-its-sub-site#post-88875 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:33:12 +0000 Mario 88875@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,</p> <p> Yes this is how I have it now, but iframes are not ideal for various reasons;<br /> 1. Browser support inconsistencies<br /> 2. Firewall block issues<br /> 3. Create problems for printing the webpage as well<br /> and since the world is becoming more mobile aware. Iframes are even more unforgiving in mobile devices since because of the overhead in http requests. I took a look at the code for gravity forms plugin and was wondering why could it not leverage the multisite features to do this abit more seamlessly.</p> <p> Here is my pseudo-code like thoughts on how to potentially make the [gravityforms ] shortcode able to do this:<br /> 1. shortcode function checks if Wordpress is in multisite mode.<br /> 2. If it is then it sets the context ( just to be safe ) to the current blog *restore_to_current_blog<br /> 3. Introduce 1 new parameters (parent_site="id") to allow gravity to know where the form is since it will not be current blog content.<br /> 4. Capture the current admin_email value of the current blog since more likely than not it will be what multisite sub-sites use for email to:<br /> 5. Inside the shortcode function then switch_to_blog(parent_site)<br /> 6. Do all it's normal code since the context is changed appropriately and the queries will be at the right table<br /> 7. restore_to_current_blog<br /> 8. Override the admin_email value with the one that capturing from the current blog<br /> 9. Watch the magic happen :)</p> <p>There are some short comings and things to consider like where are the entries captured, and so forth since the form actually lives in the parent site, but this can be an evolution since I gather most multisite developers would just love to be able to centralize the parent as the form central and capture data there.</p> <p>Thoughts?<br /> Mario </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wordpress-mu-shared-forms-from-the-main-site-to-its-sub-site#post-86300 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:48:19 +0000 Chris Hajer 86300@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you use the iframe approach, can't you embed the form in one page, then include that page in an iframe in all the subsites? That would centralize the management of the form (in case you need to make edits) and also centralizes the management of the entries. Is there another issue with that that I am not seeing? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wordpress-mu-shared-forms-from-the-main-site-to-its-sub-site#post-86218 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:01:54 +0000 Mario 86218@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,</p> <p> Understandable, but just checking in anyway, since there is a bit of pressure on my end to deal with this issue. </p> <p>Mario </p>
