[resolved] Conditional form only appears using shortcode not using function call

    I have a form with a dropdown conditional field.
    When I use the shortcode in the page it appears and works OK.
    When I add a function call e.g. <?php gravity_form(1, false, false); ?> to a page template instead of the shortcode it does not display.

    The function call works if I remove the conditional form elements.

    It appears as though the javascript isn't being generating in the head of the page when a conditional form element is used with a function call in the page template. The form code is viewable in the page source but display is none.

    I have tried this on several different server environments.

    What do you think?

  2. When calling the form via the function call, you have to manually enqueue the scripts (conditional logic, datepicker, etc.) and CSS by placing a short snippet in your functions.php file. You can find that at the bottom of the page here.

    Thanks Kevin for your answer. That makes perfect sense.

    As a suggestion could you add a link to the http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/embedding-a-form/ page in the admin Gravity Forms Help page as there is no mention about extra required code only "Add the following function call to your template" <?php gravity_form(2, false, false); ?>.

  4. The Help page in the next release of Gravity Forms will be completely redesigned and will link to more support resources.

  5. You're very welcome. As Carl mentioned, we've revisited the plugin help page to make it easier to get to the documentation. It's a work in progress of course, so we'll continually be working to improve it. Thanks for the suggestion.
