Something Simple

  1. Im trying to do something simple with my form data but can`t seem to find a way. This is my situation i require a paper contract signed booking form for a videography business, at the moment I send via email a form to complete they print and sign it and post back to me. I need to make it simple by letting clients complete the form online from my site.: a client fills in his/her data regarding their wedding video booking. I need to output this data someway so the client gets a document with all fields completed from their data, they can then print & sign and return to me. Possible? many thanks

  2. Yes, it's possible but you would have to configure your form to redirect to a page that you have created as the printable page. You could then pass data to this page via the query string using the Redirect query string builder to use to display them in the Thank You page.

    Gravity Forms isn't designed for contracts specifically so this functionality isn't built in. You would have to use the available tools to make it do what you want to do. It would require custom work, it isn't going to do it out of the box.

    Or you can use the User Notification email and format that and they can print and sign the email print out.

    How to you configure the css of the data once it is redirected to a Thank You page?

    Also, what file do we use to configure the css of the email notification?

    Thanks.

  5. There is no CSS file for the email notification. If you are referring to the {all_fields} token output, styles are inline You have complete control over the notification email message body, it isn't pre-configured. You don't have to use {all_fields} you can do whatever you want.

    Once you redirect to a Thank You page Gravity Forms is no longer in control, so any CSS is associated with that Thank You page.

    If you are referring to the built in Thank You message when using confirmation text (and not the confirmation redirect functionality) you can style this message using CSS you add to your theme stylesheet.

    You would target the #gforms_confirmation_message element.

    Example:

    #gforms_confirmation_message {background-color: #000000!important;color: #ffffff!important;

    That example would set the background color of the confirmation message to black and the foreground color to white. This CSS would go in your themes stylesheet.

    You would style Gravity Forms just like you would style anything in your theme. View source, inspect the HTML, see what classes and id's are using and then use CSS to target and style those classes and id's. It's standard HTML and CSS.
