Gravity Forms Integration

  • Paweł Wiśniewski started the conversation

    Hello wpDataTables team!

    I'm currently creating a website using Elementor. One functionality that I miss is the ability to display all forms created in Gravity Forms. I noticed on your website that you offer an add-on that integrates wpDataTables with Gravity Forms.

    My question is:

    Is it possible to present all forms created in Gravity Forms in the form of a table (using wpDataTables)? Then, upon clicking on the relevant form in the table(for example Form1_name from attached screen), user should be able to fill it out, for example, in a new window (something like a link to the form) . 

    Thank You in advance for help.

    Hello,

    Sorry do disappoint you, but this is not currently possible.

    We do have an integration with Gravity Forms - but you can only choose one Form as the data source for one Table.

    Then, this table will display all the Form fields as the table columns, and submissions as rows.


    This table can be editable in our Plugin, if you enable server-side processing option in the table.

    Please check more details about how this integration works here.

    Before purchase you can test all plugin and Add-on features on our sandbox site.


    But, you will not be able to have multiple Forms as data source for one Table.

    Please feel free to search on our suggestions page

     to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there,  and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

    You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

    and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.


    And i just wanted to point out that you can try wpDataTables before purchasing

     on our sandbox Demo sites ( you can find links for the main plugin Demo,  

    as well as add-on Demos, in my signature),

    and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period, 

    so if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)

    Let me know if you have any additional questions. smile.png

    Hello Milos, 

    Thank you for your response.

    I've created a new table using the function "Generate a query to the MySQL database" (in your sandobox), which has only two columns: ID and form title [attached screen_1]. This is m what I'm looking for!


    One functionality that I miss is the ability to (somehow) open those forms. My question is:

    1) Is it possible that in the column [title], forms title would be link to a form? (and I would be able to click on it and be redirected to the page with the form)

    2) or could I add another column with a button, upon clicking which I would be redirected to the page with the form[screen_2] && [screen_3].

    Best Regards

    Paweł

    Regarding my 2 question, I see that there is such option in "Master-detail Tables" add-on. Would i be able to create a table with MySql query and extra row with buttons?

    Hi Paweł,

    Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no way to add a new column to an SQL Query based Table.

    When you are doing an SQL Query, this is only 'calling existing data' from the database to be shown in our Table;

    but this does not make an actual new Table in the Database, and thus it is not possible to create a new column in this kind of Table.

    -

    The only table type where you can add or remove Columns is with our Manual Table;

    because when you create a Manual table - this makes a new 'stand alone' table in your SQL Database, which has its own set of columns and rows;

    so we can manipulate this table to remove/add new SQL columns from our Plugin.

    -

    But for SQL Query based Table - you would need to go in the SQL database, and add a new column there, in order to call that column into our Table.



    2. The Master-Details Add-on is not able to add any new columns to your Table;

    it is used to hide some columns which are not immediately visible in the initial Table view - then to show them in the 'more details' section.

    So the Master-Details can only take the columns which already exist in your table, if that makes sense.


    -

    If you wish to make custom links in a Column, you can try our Transform Value Feature.


    Here is an example how you can make custom links via "Transform Value" feature to combine custom HTML with a value as a placeholder from any column of your Table.


    You can use this feature if you have some Columns which contain 'part of the value' you need for your URL link, and combine actual values from multiple Columns of your Data in the same cell.

    Here is a basic example we made with a Manual Table.

    A Table with some Products, the Product ID Column named  as "id"  along with Field "ProductName", etc;

    For each Product, we made an individual Page, with URL as  :

    http://myWebsite/page-Product ID/

    For Product ID 221 the full URL will be like :

    http://localhost/current/page-221/

    4873800829.png

    For a Custom Link, i will create a new Column, we will combine manually adding an "a href" HTML hyperlink and add a "target blank" attribute to open it in a new tab, as well as displayed link text.

    For the URL, we added a blank String Column in this Table, and we will  construct it with "Transform Value" Feature.

    We create each cell to start with "<a href="http://localhost/current/page-"  then add the value for the Product ID as column placeholder {id.value} and for the displayed link text we will combine adding the product name such as "Click here to view {productname.value} Page" , ending it with the closing </a> tag, like :

    <a href="http://localhost/current/page-{id.value}" target="_blank">Click here to view {productname.value} Page</a>
    4092167752.png

    Of course, we can additionally add a CSS class to the HTML anchor Tag, such as :

    <a class="customlink" href="http://localhost/current/page-{id.value}" target="_blank">Click here to view {productname.value} Page</a>
    

    Then we can call that class for custom styling and make the link look as a button in the Table's Customize/Custom CSS, and so on.

    9771482354.png

    So, as long as we include some existing column placeholders with values, we can construct custom links, etc.

    We will do our best to add more detailed examples to our Documentation and perhaps some new videos in general that can clarify the possibilities.

    You can additionally check out more details explained how the "Transform Value" feature works on this Page ( if you haven't already).


    I hope that helps.

    Hello Milos, 

    Thank you for yor response. The idea with "Transform value' is something that i was looking for! :)

    On your demo site it works as it should.

    Thank you a lot, now it's time to spend some money ;)
