Beauty Page Questions

Hi,

As I mentioned in a previous topic, I’ve been enjoying the Beauty Pages quite a lot. However, I’m encountering some difficulties with them with conditional logic.

I understand that the main reason they achieve their massive performance boosts is due to deferring the validation process, which necessarily causes limitations in their capacity for conditional logic evaluation, and have been pleased with what I’ve been able to achieve even despite these limitations and am interested what you think the best workarounds for some of the issues I describe might be.

1) For instance, I’ve found that if I default a radio button to “Yes”, then set the text area field dependent on it to “Hide if [radio_button] is No”, then the field works. However if I default the radio button to “No”, and set the text area to show on “Yes”, then the text area comes up disabled/read-only.

2) I’ve found that the best workaround I can find for requiring validation for each step is setting up the next button conditional logic. Otherwise, you’re ut in the frustrating situation of being able to skip a question all the way to the end, then sent back to the beginning.

Then to make it not look crazy with buttons appearing and disappearing I just put a button the exact same shape in the exact same location as it would be, but it’s disabled.

3) Also, I’ve found that Select Dropdowns appear to fail within Beauty Pages. For Dates, you can circumvent this issue by setting the fields to be text. However, there doesn’t appear to be any way around this with the state subfield of the address field.

Well, it seems I’ve mostly just discussed the ways I’ve attempted navigating these difficulties… So, now for an actual question!

4) Are Beauty Pages compatible in any way whatsoever with Gravity Forms pages? From my limited tests, it appears no. For my current use case, it would be ideal to be able to put sequences of 5-10 Beauty Pages within each individual set of a total of 5 conventional Gravity Forms pages for intermittent validation purposes as well as functional address fields.

Right now, I intend to solve this by chaining together Gravity Forms either on the same WordPress page or different ones… not sure the best approach yet. But neither of these are exactly ideal because I’m using Gravity Perks autosave and continue feature, which anchors to the Gravity Forms pages, so ideally I’d like this all to be one form on one WordPress page.

Anyway, love the plugin. Bought it yesterday or the day before. It’s really fantastic
