Gravity Forms v1.9.14 Released

By Carl Hancock Published October 7, 2015

Gravity Forms v1.9.14 is now available via automatic update and the downloads page.

This is a major maintenance and developer focused release and includes new hooks/filters, updates to the Gravity Forms Add-On Framework and the Gravity Forms API.

This release also includes updates to make it compatible with new Gravity Forms Add-Ons that are nearing public release.

What’s New in Gravity Forms v1.9.14

• Added $support_placeholders parameter to GFCommon::get_select_choices() method.
• Added gf_input_change() JS function.
• Added action-based system to conditional_logic.js; new method will trigger conditional logic from generic ‘gform_input_change’ event. Allows more granular control of the order in which input-change-event-based functionality (i.e. conditional logic) is triggered.
• Added ‘fields’ property to gf_form_conditional_logic JS object. Used to determine field’s with conditional logic dependent on the current field. This differs from the ‘dependents’ property in that the dependents property refers to fields that should be shown/hidden based on a “parent” field (i.e. fields within a Section Break).
• Added new JS helper functions: rgar() and rgars(); work just like their PHP counterparts.
• Added field type specific classes to input containers.
• Added Gravity API client class to support requests to remote Gravity server.
• Added gform_forms_post_import action.
• Added gform_currency_pre_save_entry filter allowing entry currency code to be overridden.
• Added extra parameter to GFCache::get() to optimize performance for non persistent cache gets.
• Added gform_is_encrypted_field hook to allow custom logic to check if a field is encrypted as well as disabling encryption checking.
• Added GFCommon::safe_strtoupper. Uses mb_strtoupper if available; with a fallback to strtoupper.
• Added tabindex and onkeypress attributes to list field add/delete row buttons.
• Added the gform_pre_entry_list and gform_post_entry_list action hooks to the entry list page. $form_id is the only parameter.
• Added gform_product_field_types filter to support custom product fields.
• Added the tabindex attribute to the button input of the multi-file enabled upload field.
• Added Bengali translation, thanks to Md Akter Hosen.
• Added a deactivation hook to flush the Gravity Forms Cache including persistent transients. This provides a workaround for a rare issue on WordPress 4.3 where Gravity Forms user locks are not released automatically on some systems.
• Added payment_method to the lead database columns list.
• Added security enhancements to the entry export process to prevent a spreadsheet related exploit. This is not a WordPress vulnerability. You can find out details here. Thanks to Zach and the team at WP Ninjas for the heads up!
• Updated ‘gform_conditional_logic’ script to depend on ‘gform_gravityforms’; this is to support a new action-based method for handling functionality that is triggered by input change events (i.e. conditional logic).
• Updated thickbox URLs to include a set height as needed.
• Updated GFFormDisplay::get_form_button() to be a public method.
• Updated GFFormDisplay::get_max_field_id() to be public.
• Updated Website field so placeholder defaults to http:// for new fields.

• Updated the Dutch translation.
• Fixed an issue with conditional logic on number fields formatted with decimal comma.
• Fixed an issue with the gform_replace_merge_tags hook running twice when GFCommon::replace_variables() is used.

• Fixed an issue with the merge tag drop down and the credit card field.
• Fixed an issue with GF_Field_Address::get_country_code which failed to return a value if the passed country contained cyrillic characters.
• Fixed an issue with the List field which could occur if gform_column_input was used to return a comma and space separated string for $input_info[‘choices’].
• Fixed an issue with product field validation.
• Fixed a PHP notice on the confirmations page if confirmation type is not set.
• Fixed an issue when searching for entries that are non-blanks.
• Fixed an issue where entry detail page would save notes to the wrong entry.
