hello Alex here from WP eagle comm and
today I'm gonna do a quick review of the
excellent gravity forms plugin which I
use all the time as the name suggests
plugin so you just pay for it but I
found it very worth the money great
value in fact and so what I'm going to
do is I'm going to fire up the plugin
now and we'll add a form to the test
website and you can have a look at some
of the features and functionality and
I'll talk you through it
okay so I'm logged in to the test site
and I've got the plug-in installed and
once you installed it you get a section
that's called forms where you can do
everything with all your new forms or
whatever so we have got new forms just
yet so let's create one and then we'll
add it to a page and see what happens so
gonna click here to create it I need to
give it a name I'm just gonna call it a
contact form
it's just giving me a general contact
form and let's just say it's a general
contact form okay click the button and
that should create the form okay and
here we are now we can start adding the
fields to our form so the great thing
about gravity forms is it comes with
loads of built-in fields ready for you
to use things like name and date and
phone numbers websites email all common
stuff that you're gonna need for a form
but it's also got some more
sophisticated fields like the capture if
you use Google's capture service if
you've got a spam kind of problem you
can add any capture very easy to do but
it can also do some real clever stuff
like you can create posts from a from a
forum so when someone enters some
information and click Submit it creates
a wordpress post for you you know that's
a useful feature if you need it and you
can have pricing filled so you can have
a kind of order form set up if you're
selling products or whatever and you
can't integrate it with the WooCommerce
plug-in which is an e-commerce plugin to
take that a little bit further so it's
kind of as it comes it's got lots of
built in features but we're gonna do is
just create a simple form so I'm gonna
add to add it's that name so we do is
just click on the fields
then it adds them I think I'd like that
twice so to delete one just go over and
there's a little cross so it's all kind
of drag-and-drop to make the form which
is really good so let's add that let's
add address email phone then just any
kind of basic you know message box at
the bottom so that would just be a
paragraph text you see here these are
just the kind of standard fields so
let's just add that and then what we'll
do is we'll go for each field and and
customize it so you can see the kind of
features you get so the general name
field is here you can have it as a name
with first name last name or you can
just have simple or it just has one box
for name like that or go even further
and have extended where it asked for all
sorts of information you can have and it
applies all the fields you can say if
it's a required field you know then it
has a little star and then in advanced
settings you can change the label in the
admin you can have a validation message
and apply different CSS passes loads and
loads of stuff another great feature
which we'll see here is the conditional
logic basically what this means is that
you can change the form depending on the
entries that people put in so for
example if you have a look you know show
this field if email is and then you can
say value and or phone number it so it
allows you to have a kind of dynamic
form that changes as people fill it in
which I found useful for a couple of
clients so let's have a look at the
address again you can there's a number
of different options depending on
country as it changes and the fields you
can set whether it's required a default
state okay email again you can have an
email confirmation that means people
have to type it in twice so that you
know they don't mess up their email
address and usual thing you know you can
make it required phone number you can
have it in and I think that's the
American format or you can change it to
international and then they can have it
you know whatever format you want and
the message box at the bottom that's we
need to obviously call that and so like
your message
we never got your message and you can
set whether respects from characters of
whatever so let's say 300 and required
let's add a description and as a message
and that should be displayed on the
forum - okay I think we're done with
with setting up our forum so let's click
update form over here okay so before we
add it to the page I'm just going to go
for a couple of settings so in here
there's a lot of different things so you
can change you know the button so Mona
submit but you know we could change that
to send message again you can have
conditional logic on that which is
pretty cool and you can decide where the
labels are any restrictions some spam
stuff okay oh we didn't save so let's
just go down to the bottom and click
update
okay so confirmations this is basically
the message that's shown when you when
some fills in the form so you know
thanks for contacting us but you can
also set it to go to a page on the
website or you can just redirect it to a
URL of wherever you want so if you you
know need to do some tracking or send to
a thank-you page or a download page or
whatever you want you know it's very
easy to do and then the final section
here is the notifications which are the
emails that are sent out so by default
it sends it to an admin and but you can
add as many different education as you
want and these can be based on
conditional logic as well so you know
you can say if the phone number is a
certain value then send it to this
person or whatever within here obviously
you can customize the message that gets
sent out and you can drop in all of the
information from the forum as you want
to lay it out however your template
needs it and obviously it can be dropped
into all these other fields as well in
terms of notification emails so the
final thing we've got to do is just so
that you can have a look at the form at
the front so we need to add it to a page
so I'm going to go to the front of the
website which is here and we've got
trusty page a which will be a good place
to put form so you're just going to edit
page as you would
and it's added a nice button there it
says add form so I'm just going to get
rid of the news ticket which was from a
previous video click add form and we
want the contact form ooh some reason
these tick boxes have got a bit weird
hmm
hey yo maybe it's just my my WordPress
installation but there's some tick boxes
here so you can basically display the
form title display the description let's
tickle these and you can enable ax so
let's click insert and it's basically
just a shortcode that it drops in lets
click update and hopefully if we view
the page our form should be there and
here it is in all its glory so in
summary I hope you found that walk
through a useful I really love gravity
forms I highly recommend buying it I'll
put a link below this video so you can
go and find it if you want if you any
questions or comments then let me know
and I'll see you soon
