Gravity Forms Conflict

That’s an interesting one. Do you have any further details? Is the free version of GF, or the premium version? Do you get any errors? Any console errors in Firebug or equivalent?

What exactly do you mean by “unusable”? Could it actually be giving you legitimate warnings that need to be fixed?

Paid Gravity Forms plugin. This error occurs when trying to edit or create a new form using the GF plugin (paid version):

admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=9:83 Uncaught TypeError: $(…).maxSubmit is not a function

This is caused by the Gravity Forms “no conflict mode” being turned on. Turn it off, and it will work.

What GF does, is remove JavaScript and styles from the admin pages that is generated by other plugins. I don’t know why it does this, and I know of no other plugins that feel a need to sandbox themselves like this. Plugins on the whole follow the rules and don’t mess around with each other, but there you go.

I’ve made a note to look into what I can do to remove this error, but you have a workaround for now at least.

Release 1.1.2 should fix this. Let me know how it goes.

The fix is to allow GF to disable the *whole* plugin if it is that way inclined and an end user chooses to do so. A note has been added to the description to explain this.

Thanks Jason, just updated and all is working great.

Cool, glad that fixed the error.

Do bear in mind that the fix will mean the plugin is completely disabled when in the admin pages of Gravity Forms. If you are editing a form with many hundreds of fields, then this plugin won’t warn you if too many parameters are being posted; it will be up to Gravity Forms to protect itself in this case.

Feel free to reopen if the problem comes back or has any unexpected consequences.
