Gravity Forms Widget + Extra’s: “

I’ve been blogging about Gravity Forms before, and I still think it’s one of the best plugins to have been released this year, if not all time. In recent releases they’ve been adding and adding and adding incredible new features, showing that you really do want to buy the plugin and get all their updates.

There’s a small issue though: it lacks a bit of functionality that people who were used to my WordPress contact form were really used too, and sometimes even relying on. My plugin added referrer data and the search keyword(s) used to the notification emails. To solve this issue I’ve written a small ‘add-on’ plugin that adds just that data to notification emails. You can download it here.

There’s another tiny thing that people needed: a widget that allows you to easily embed the forms in your sidebar(s). I made another add-on plugin that adds just that.

It should be noted that this widget currently does not add any scripts or style tags, so should your form depend on those, it won’t work at the moment unless you load those scripts into your theme manually. Other than that, it works fine!

You can download the Gravity Forms widget plugin here, just upload, activate and use the widget.

I’ve given the code for both these add-ons to the Gravity Forms guys, so they might end up adding these features to upcoming releases. If you’ve got anything else you want from Gravity Forms, I’d love to hear it in the comments!
