Hello

Plug-in deva will look into the report and reply

Thank you so much

Hello

The devs were not successful in replicating this issue. However, testing was done on the new version 2.8.2. Please update to the latest release and let us know if the issue persists. you will have to clear your browsers cached JS files to have the new functionality in 2.8.2 take effect, or use a different browser/ machine/ private window to test. As a note, the autosubmit functionality does not actually change or alter the data as entered, it only bypasses validation and submits the form on the front end. This should have no effect on the quiz functionality, and normal functionality of all quiz related merge tags was observed in the devs attempt to replicate.

Thank you so much

• Changed Auto submit functionality to submit the form directly on mulitpage forms instead of stepping through each page of the form.
• Tested on WP 6.8.2

Fantastic! Thank you

Hello

Make the “next page” button conditional based on the required fields being filled out first. That way they cannot access the second page without entering anything. The timer start page should be set to page 2 so timing doesn’t start until after the forks are filled and they go to the next page.

My apologies for all of the messages. In creating an exact replica of the form – I figured out what the real issue is. I would suggest you consider this a bug, as lots of people will have the same issue, even if they don’t report it.

In the section for “Custom Time Text” you can’t put a colon in there. This is the most logical thing to be in there so that it looks like an actual timer. The colon breaks the form and doesn’t allow you to submit it. Anything else I’ve tested in there seems to work.

Thanks for the report. I’ll have the devslook into the issue and roll out a solution in the next update.

Hello

An interim update (2.7.91) was released to help prevent the issue you had experienced.

A new update (2.8) was released to allow for any characters in the custom time separator text options.

This should allow you to display a “clock” like display eg: 8:6:26 by using : for hours, : for minutes, and a space for seconds

The custom text also appears in the timed entry recorded results. most likely you are using this display type for a countdown timer so there is no need to record or display the result time for pages/form, but noting that it will have the same presentation in your form entry if you are unless you opt to remove the text or save in certain time qty only.

Hope this helps

Hi! I actually found the issue. In the form settings Gravity Forms has a checkbox for “Anti-spam honeypot” – looks like this was breaking the auto-submit, just FYI. Turning this off worked.

Hello

Yes the honeypot works based on How fast you could have humanly possibly completed a form/ page and since auto submit does it near instantly they could be flagged as spam.

Hello, you can set the server synch interval to a very long time such as 1800 if you would like. It sets the checks for asynch server time checks if someone were to mess with the browser js based timers. This is unlikely to happen so this is only a backup. It only waits for an initial response But if your server is slow to respond you could see a lag like this while your browser waits.

Hello, per instructions you cannot use 0 as a setting for time. You can leave it blank if you would like. But per above you should likely set this to a high value as your server send to be slots to respond to the time checks.

I will have the devs look into removing any settings of 0 for this field on attempted save

Thank you, we will have a dev check on it

Hello

You may want to write the gravity forms development support team for assistance on this.

Hello

There is currently no timer pause.

Hello

There are not countdown timers for individual pages but, Something like this is certainly achievable. The plug-in has “additional timed events” that let you show/hide/block editing of any page items by targeting css classes or give a user alert to the page at specific times.

Using this you could block editing and/or hide the fields in the first page at a given time and only show the next button. Simultaneously you could display brief instruction that time is up and to begin the next page immediately. Repeat this until the pages are complete, or simply have them all on one page and hide/block some and immediately show the next set of available fields on the same page until you submit the form automatically at a set end time.

The other way to achieve this if you want it paged with individual times per page is to make separate forms to use as “pages” where each form passes its data into hidden fields in the next form. Then each form can have individual countdowns and to the user it appears as one single form. The final form would contain all the data from the previous “pages”/forms and you even can have the other preliminary forms delete the submissions after processing using simple code or a plugin like encrypted fields.

Hello

Yes this is possible. You can start the timer when the user reaches any page (normal Ajax enabled forms only) and the timers are inserted into the form like placing another field so you can place them wherever you would like on pages in the form. You do not have to use the main timer that shows above the form on every page and can only use the ones you specifically place on specific pages to show the elapsed or remaining time etc.

Check out the demo form and there are multiple types of timers doing all sorts of things

Hello

Apologies, Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention. The demo site linked to here was not the running the latest plugin version. It has been updated to the latest release version so the issue should no longer persist.

The release version plugin is regularly updated and supported as noted by the “recently updated” badge on the plugin item page as well as latest update date of “28 March 2024”. As you have noticed, its important to keep plugins updated regularly as things progress and conflicts can sometimes occur

If you have any other pre sales questions please let us know.

Hello

Please do not list your Envato purchase codes here publicly. The above comment was removed for this reason.

It appears the current message you are getting is a PHP warning. This although good to be wary of, is different than an actual error that will cause an issue. PHP usually evaluates things with warnings with an accurate presumption, and the plugin should be operating fine. Is there any actual error preventing the proper operation of the plugin in your testing beyond the warning?

Either way we will check int the line of code and reply here soon.

Thank you for the information on the operating environment. that is helpful

Please kindly update to ver 2.7.8 (just released) and let us know if you have any further issue with the warning.

• Fixed potential non-existant array key warning for form property line 757
• Tested on GF 2.8.6
• Tested on WP 6.4.3

Hello

What type of customization are you looking for?

What is your WhatsApp to send you the requirements.

Hello

I see you also sent an email. You can send any requests for the developers through that form.

Hello

No this is not currently possible. Submission timing is based on the start time of each form session and does not necessarily correlate to calander date /time

Hello

There is no direct API call filter but it could be done via custom dev work.

For submitting the form values to another URL in query string, just use the auto submit option to submit the form when timer expires, and set the form confirmation to a redirect and use the merge tags in your URL to pass field values. This is a normal gravity forms function.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I was looking to only redirect if the timer expires and not on successful completion before timer expiry. I can write the API call no issue just need to know if there is a filter that is triggered when the timer expires. If not I guess a simple solution would be to auto submit on timer expiry and then write code that if timer field = 0 then execute API, if != 0 then perform a different action? Any cleaner way? Thanks for your help!

That seems to be the best option overall . I would check if it’s > 1 for time field. front facing timer is JS, so you would have to use Ajax otherwise unless you base it on the backup server time church interval

Hello

Not directly by html field selection. But if you separate the form into pages. .. even just 2 where the question you intended to start a timer on is on the second page, you can either start the main timer as of page 2 or you can just run a separate timer on page 2 (assuming you remove the back button)

Hope this helps

Hello

The values are still saved correct because this is a php warning and not an actual V php error. We can look to fix this value triggering the warming. What plug-in version are you using?

Thanks – I am using the latest version (purchased yesterday).

Hello

Please update to latest plugin version 2.7.5, and let us know if this issue persists.

New in Version 2.7.5 Added Feature to copy selected timer field’s current text to any text field on click of chosen element. Tested on WP 6.0.3
