fields question

  1. Hi,

    I am trying to decide which field to use for the products in the form, http://valleyviewwinery.com/order-test/

    Currently I have and html field for "Pioneer Label Merlot 2005 - $30/bottle" and a number field for the qty. The issue is that when the form is submitted I can only see the qty and not "Pioneer Label Merlot 2005 - $30/bottle." Would the Single Line Text o perhaps the number field be the best choice for this right now?

    Secondly, when I save my edits to my form I can preview the form but it seems to not be saving within the Woo site, same thing with the custom.css, I have to manually upload it to see changes. This has never happened before, not sure what's going on with it.

    Any help is greatly appreciated,

    Thanks.

  2. The HTML "field" is not really a field. It is a presentation element so you can add HTML, text, images, etc. to your front end form. No data is stored as there is no field for a user to interact with.

    You could give the Quantity field an admin label that will be displayed in the admin. Edit the Quantity field, go to the Advanced tab and fill in the Admin Label. You can then give it a more descriptive label then just "Quantity" such as "Pioneer Label Merlot 2005 Quantity".

    As for saving changes and not seeing them on your site. Are you running a caching plugin such as SuperCache or W3 Total Cache? If so that could be why.

  3. Hi,
    I tried doing this "give the Quantity field an admin label that will be displayed in the admin. "
    It worked it you log into WordPress to view the entries however, if you recieve a copy of the submitted for it just say "Qty" then number, no other details. I'd ideally like my client to receive an email with the form content and see the product description of what was selected.

    Is there a way to do this? OR is this the best solution right now,http://valleyviewwinery.com/our-wines/order-wines/ This way my client can see what was requested in the form submission, in his email copy, without having to login into his site.

    If you wouldn't mind telling me what style I need to edit to make the product "Pioneer Label 2005" have more space on the right and to make the "small" form field, smaller still, I'd greatly appreciate it. I selected small for the field but it's still kind of big.

    Thanks!

  4. Hi, I tried to shorten the small text area, .gform_wrapper textarea.small{ height:80px; width: 20px;} and still can't seem to shorten the field.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

  5. The only textarea I see has class "medium" and not "small". That's probably why it's not working.

  6. OK, since I have copied and pasted the GF css into my Woo custom css I should be able to search for any GF style needed and find it correct? I search for "small" and found it.

    I'd like to be able to make the wine names stretch out more to the right, if you'd tell me which style to search for I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks,

  7. line 312 of the theme's style.css file sets the label width to 100px. You can edit that to whatever you think looks right for you.
