Conflict with Gravity Forms Signature Add-On

Hello,

Thank you for reporting the conflict.

I’ll have this investigated later today, and I’ll update you when I have something.

Hello,

I’ve investigated the issue in-depth.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to make these 2 plugins compatible. At least not without modifying the JS of the Signature addon to add a couple of custom events here and there.

However, I can disable the custom behavior from the Signature field. This will work if the form that you have with a Signature field is NOT displayed multiple times.

So, is your form that contains the Signature field displayed multiple times?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello,

Any news? Were you able to resolve the issue?

Hi Marin,

Sorry for the delayed response. I didn’t seem to get notification emails about your earlier replies.

No. The form in question wasn’t included on the page multiple times so your modification will work nicely. I had originally just deactivated the plugins functionality on that particular form to prevent any conflicts but it saves me adding a bit of extra custom code.

Hey again,

Feel free to add the following code to your theme functions.php:

Or if you wish add it as a plugin to your codebase.

This will basically disable the “multiple form instances” functionality for the Signature field, making it work back again, which solves the compatibility issue.

Looking forward to your reply.

You won’t be adding support for this directly in the plugin?

Hey,

Considering the fact that the Signature is an addon, I don’t find it plausible to get into the plugin core. And I really don’t like the solution – it is a little too hacky for me. ??

However, the solution is posted here, completely public, so anyone can use it in their projects.

By the way, did it work for you? Is your issue resolved now?

Thanks

Keep in mind it’s a “core” Gravity Form add-on and quite a popular one at that.

In any case, like I said, I just removed the plugin’s action on that particular form (one line of code) to resolve the issue originally. Since you solution is quite a bit longer than that I’ll stick with my current work around.

Thanks for your assistance.

Yes, you’ve got point, definitely.

But it is also a core “feature” to not support multiple instances of the same form ?? My plugin is a workaround for this issue – an ugly workaround to solve an ugly issue. And it is simply not compatible with all addons, because some of them are really “sensitive” when you mess with their IDs, and that is what my plugin essentialy does in order to add support for multiple form instances.

Anyway, I’ll keep track of the development of that addon, and hopefully, they would make it easier for fully supporting that field.

And good luck with your project!

Cheers,
Marin

Thanks for all your hard work, Marin. Your support has been top notch.
