GF and WordPress 3.0 beta

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms

    Hi All

    Just a brief note to say that GF appears to be propagating across multiple sites within a single WP3.0 beta install, albeit without the individual forms created by Superadmin in the 'mother' site.

    It would be awesome if the Superadmin could select some or all existing forms within the 'mother' site to appear automatically within the 'child' sites.

    Is that sort of thing on the cards please? I know it'll be possible to export individual forms in a future GF release (hopefully soon :)) but it'd also be great to have this alternative functionality for multi-site installs under WP3.0.

    Keep up the great work. Best plugin for WordPress IMHO.

    R.

    I'm a little confused. You are referring to WordPress 3.0 with multisite turned on.

    Are you saying that if you setup the parent site with Gravity Forms, that when you create new child sites in your network they also get Gravity Forms AND the same forms that the parent site had?

    If so thats a huge changed from WordPress MU as MU gave each individual site it's own databases, including for plugins.

    We will look into it.

    Just to clarify, any forms created on the parent site by the SuperAdmin do not automatically propagate to the child sites. This isn't functionality of the plugin. Each form install is standalone.

    In WordPress, each "site" gets it's own set of database tables. So when you activate Gravity Forms on a child site, it gets it's own set of tables for Gravity Forms and is not connected in anyway to the tables created by the Parent Site.

    This is something we will look at doing in the future via an add-on to provide more administration tools for multi-site installs. We haven't done this yet as we were waiting for the release of WordPress 3.0 before determining what to build. We didn't want to support WordPress MU as it was being phased out.

    Hi Carl - Sorry if my message was confusing. All I meant by propagating was that the plugin itself is appearing network wide, as expected. The individual forms do not propogate across.

    What I was wondering above was whether it'd be possible to have the individual forms, or a subset of them, as selected by the Superadmin, propogate across to the child sites, either on creation or subsequently. Sounds like you may have that sort of thing in mind. If so, fantastic.

    Cheers
    Richard

    Right now there is no pushing forms to the children. Each site starts from scratch. But that is something we do plan on creating an Add-On for.

    Thanks. Presumably, when the export function becomes available (in the next/forthcoming release?), that could be used to similar (albeit perhaps less streamlined) effect, pending creation of the Add-On you mention. Looking forward to both, that's for sure.

    Just found this thread looking to see if this was possible. Nice to see you plan on supporting this feature. That will be really helpful. Thanks for a great plugin.
