Hello, I am using a dropdown for date selection and the years available are 1920-2011. I need to edit these. Can you tell me where to find this? Thanks, Julie

PS - also need to know how to get Month, Date and Year dropdowns all on one line. Thanks!

Julie, this should help you out:

For lining things up in columns, you can reference the css ready classes:

Thanks. I added this to the gravityforms.php file - this wasn't specified in the links so thought I'd add that here in case it will help someone out in the future. To sort most recent year to furthest away, you just swap the two statements.

Julie, you'll actually want to put those php statements into your functions.php file of your theme. So plugin updates won't negatively impact customizations.

Ok, will do.

the classes don't seem to be working - I've tried the inline and the three column - could you look? http://adhocbands.com/testing/the-ricardo-pena-group-latin-variety-rock-band/

It doesn't look like you are using the gravity forms default stylesheet. The ready classes come in through that. In the Settings section where you put in your license key there is an option to output CSS, if you change that to yes it should work.

I have Output CSS set to yes so still need some help here.

Also, when I add the php function to the functions.php, it breaks so am having to stick with adding this to gravityforms.php for now.

What kind of error are you getting when you add it to your functions.php file?

If you are embedding the form you will need to enqueue scripts and styles:

You have to add the code to your theme's functions.php, NOT gravityforms.php. Replace the Gravity Forms files you have modified with the originals (download the plugin again if you need to) and then put the code in functions.php. If it gives an error, post the error here, as Rob suggested. Or, even better, post the whole functions.php at pastie.org or pastebin.com so we can see where your error is coming from. You need to get it working in functions.php.

Ok, on the years issue, tried it a couple of more times and it is now working okay.

The CSS though isn't. I have the Settings set to Output CSS. I also copied all of the gravity forms css into my theme's styles.css because the CSS from the plugin has never appeared to have any impact. On the month/day/year field, I have the gf_inline as the css class name and it appears this is reading from the styles.css but, in any case, still wrapping.

On line 496 of your style.css change place this:
```
[css]
.gform_wrapper li.gf_inline div.ginput_container {
    display: inline;
    white-space: nowrap !important;
    width: 60%;
}
```
Added display: inline to that declaration that was there.
