I would like to add a custom field to the Advanced Fields section in the Add Fields menu when creating/editing a form. How can I do this? Which hooks will I need to use? Is there any documentation relating to this?
I have searched the FAQs and Documentation, the only relevant result I found was http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/adding-a-custom-field, which was answered by an administrator, but the answer was not included in the thread.
Would appreciate a support response on this. This was posted 3 weeks ago and still has not received any attention.
I would still appreciate a support response on this.
This topic has been active for over a month with no official response.
So, I found the "gform_add_field_buttons" filter which allows one to add "Add Field" buttons to the Form Editor, but this is only one part of the solution; I need to also be able to define the field/fields that are rendered by this new Field type - how do I go about this?
I'm not asking for a solution to be provided, just to be pointed in the right direction as to what filters I will need to implement to create my own custom "Advanced" field types.
Your request was overlooked because whoever was moderating the forum at that time viewed it as a customization issue and not a support issue.
They should have at least pointed you to the right hook.
You are correct, you would use the gform_add_field_buttons hook. Buts it's fairly complex and involves a few moving pieces to account for the UI, options, validation, etc.
But unfortunately we don't have a tutorial on this particular customization.
I would suggest looking at the code in 1.6.1 and inspect how the Credit Card field is added and see if that helps.
