Acrobat form to Gravity Form

  1. Can I create a form in Acrobat and import into gravity form?

    No, we don't have the ability to import such forms into Gravity Forms currently.

  3. Even if Acrobat supports exporting as Xml?
    Does Gravity Form support any kind of importing from other programs?

    There are no importing of form XML from any other programs at this time, just Gravity Forms to Gravity Forms. It is on our development list though.

  5. Do you have any links to custom forms for gravity form?

    Can you tell me more about what you are looking for? Each user creates and customizes their own forms using the fields and hooks we have provided. There isn't a repository of forms. If you could give me more information, I could help direct you though to getting what you need.

  7. I want to create my own feedback form using Gravity Form.
    Visit this link, click on the red [+] to see the opinionlab form that I would like mine to look like.

    You can definitely build most of this out without issue. The rankings might be difficult, but otherwise, you should be able to select the fields you want and create a similar form.

    To make it two column like your example, have a read of the following:
    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CSS_Ready_Classes

    Let me know if you need more details.
    As for making it a pop-up like that, there are tons of forum posts relating to putting a form in one, though this can be complex in comparison to embedding it in a page.

  9. I have gravity form popping up into fancybox. do you have any example code close to the look of opinion lab's?

    Thanks!

    If you want it two columns, the halves CSS ready class is what you are looking for. Beyond that, what kind of code/example are you looking for? We don't keep any examples currently, as every user has a specific set of requirements. Again, I can try to help you meet yours, but you have to give me as much information as possible regarding the issues you are having.

  11. Can I add a " Click here to contact us." after a text field would that be done in css?

    example is on the opinionlabs website:
    http://www.opinionlab.com/

  12. CSS is for styling. A link would be done in HTML. You can add an HTML link in the "description" area of the input field.

  13. Ok,
    Thanks Rob! Got that working. I was talking with David about copying opinionlab's form located here:
    http://www.opinionlab.com/

    just click on the [+] and check it out.
    Here is what I have so far:
    Click on the "give feedback" button on the lower-right corner and let me know what I can do to get the radio buttons in the right column and other styling to get it close to this.

    Thanks for your help.

  14. Are you looking to have the radio buttons in a column of their own or what? I see your reference to the site you are talking about, but can you provide detail specifically as to what you are looking to do on your form piece by piece at this point?

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  15. yes i would luv to have the radio buttons in their own column

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  16. Scroll up above and take a look at the link David posted regarding the Ready Classes.

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  17. If you check out my form now you can see the left and right (radio buttons) are not next to one another.
    Do you have a work-around?

    click on give feedback button
    Thanks

  18. To use the left_half and the right_half ready classes you need to alternate them in your form layout. Meaning The first field in your form would be the first left_half and then the first set of radio buttons would then be next in line with right_half, then you would repeat down the line.

    You do have another option as well, see this post for more info on that:
    http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/textarea-will-make-extra-space-in-layout#post-52634

    This approach uses HTML fields and divs to create columns.

  19. I see what your saying in the design view I have to shuffle them round got it!

    thanks!

  20. Correct, you would alternate the fields from left to right. How you currently have it is you have all of your top fields with the left class and all of your bottom fields with the right class. To get the fields to show how you want, you will need to alternate left/right left/right accordingly. You will need to have those fields listed in the correct order in the formbuilder tool.

  21. Any way I can fix the space between design and ease of use?

  22. Sure thing, you can target that textarea directly via it's ID to change the height. Try dropping this into your theme's stylesheet:

    [css]
    #input_7_3 {
    height: 60px;
    }
    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  23. nothing is happening

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  24. I don't see that style I gave you in your theme's style.css - are you running a caching plugin?

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  25. pasted this:
    #input_7_3 {
    height: 60px;
    }

    into my style.css dont think I have cashing plugin

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  26. You actually put #input_7_6. See this Screenshot

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  27. so is it field_7_6 i want to adjust?

    still getting nothing

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  28. No, I was pointing out that your stylesheet shows #input_7_6. It needs to be as I gave it to you:

    [css]
    #input_7_3 {
    height: 60px;
    }

    I'm not sure why you changed it to be #input_7_6... that screenshot was directly from your style.css path in a web browser.

  29. ill have to play around with it some more but im still not getting anything

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  30. Now I know why it's not coming through. You are launching this thing in an iframe. You're going to have to pass styles to it there. Placing styles outside of the iframe in the theme isn't going to do any good because the iframed content (gravity form) can't see those.

    Posted 12 years ago on Wednesday June 13, 2012 | Permalink
  31. ok,
    do i have to use an iframe in fancy box to show the form?
    how do i fix the form now?

    Posted 12 years ago on Monday June 18, 2012 | Permalink
  32. A cheap work around here would be to place an HTML field on your form at the bottom (using no label) and drop the style block into it.

    Posted 12 years ago on Monday June 18, 2012 | Permalink
  33. ahh haah! ok Im learning!

    Thank I'll give it a try.

    Posted 12 years ago on Monday June 18, 2012 | Permalink
  34. This is what I put into a html field in GF

    <style type="text/css">
    #input_7_3 {
    height: 60px;
    }
    </style>

    Nothing happened.
    Did I do it correct?

    Posted 12 years ago on Monday June 18, 2012 | Permalink
  35. It's working: Screenshot

    Posted 12 years ago on Monday June 18, 2012 | Permalink
  36. ok,
    anyway we can shorten the height of all the radio buttons. I like to minimize scrolling as much as possible
