Gravity Forms v1.7.8 Released
By Carl Hancock
Published September 5, 2013
Gravity Forms v1.7.8 is now available via automatic update and the downloads page. This is primarily a maintenance and bug fix release and we highly recommend users update. You should always keep your WordPress site up to date.
As with most of our maintenance releases going forward, there are no new user facing features in this release. However, we have added a new hook for developers as well as updated several hooks that may be of interest to developers who implement customizations.
What’s New in Gravity Forms v1.7.8
- Added gform_pre_enqueue_scripts hook so that scripts can be added first if a need exists. This was added in order to resolve conflicts caused by new Picatcha JS.
- Added new logging statements for the Logging Add-On.
- Updated tooltips to optimize performance when using WPML.
- Updated gform_is_value_match filter to optionally pass rule object being validated.
- Updated the results page to display as a view of the gf_entries page so the gravityforms_view_entries capability is required instead of gravityforms_edit_forms (in addition to the gravityforms_{add-on}_results capability).
- Fixed markup with the credit card field.
- Fixed issues with switched parameters on get_parameter_value() call causing issues with pre-populating certain field types.
- Fixed conflict between HTML5 validation and the script to prevent duplicate submissions.
- Fixed issue with notification processing causing form to display “blank” in the admin under certain conditions.
- Fixed issue with entry list page where more entries were being used than the ones selected when applying actions.
- Fixed issue with multisite upgrades preventing tables from being properly updated.
- Fixed conflict on Add-On page preventing add-ons from being installed.
- Fixed a PHP notice on the Entry list for imported forms.
- Fixed issue with conditional logic conflict with calculating field.
- Fixed issue with user defined product field not formatting correctly.
