WordPress Google Form update – v0.22
0Yesterday I received a report from someone using WordPress Google Form that their checkboxes weren’t working. This was very confusing to me because last weekend I spent a bunch of time fixing and testing the checkbox problem.
It turns out the jQuery script which fixes the checkboxes to work with PHP was never running. Why wasn’t it running? Because jQuery wasn’t ever loaded. Why wasn’t jQuery loaded? Because wpGForm never loaded it! It turned out the website which reported the problem was using a theme that doesn’t use jQuery and therefore never loaded it.
Well the WordPress Google Form plugin, which needs jQuery, didn’t load it either. I (and I can only assume other people) was never seeing a problem because either the theme or another plugin was loading jQuery.
The v0.22 update corrects this problem which was somewhat of a corner case, but a problem none the less.
WordPress Google Form minor update – v0.21
35 days
This morning I have updated WordPress Google Form and fixed a number of documentation problems and added one minor new feature. While I am not a big fan of Javascript Alerts, I had a request to allow a message to be displayed upon successful form submission. I have added a new parameter (alert=’message’) to the gform short code to enable this new functionality.
[gform form='https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dEYwbGNYVG9TRUhXellMaDBuZ1RQTHc6MQ#gid=0' confirm='http://localhost/?page_id=435' alert='You da man!']
The new release should appear in the WordPress repository immediately and as Dashboard update fairly soon.
WordPress Google Form plugin v0.16 released
0This morning I uploaded a new version of my WordPress Google Form plugin. This update addresses the three items I noted in this post. I also expanded the Test Bed Form I have been using to develop and test the plugin. If you’re curious, I have added the form to a page on this site. If you run into a combination that isn’t working and I haven’t accounted for it in the test bed, please let me know and I’ll update my form.
I think I finally have Check Boxes working correctly. They were a challenge because how PHP (which WordPress uses) pass arrays of information and Python (which Google Forms use for processing) are very different. Thanks to a tip on the WordPress Hackers Mailing List to a utility called http://httpbin.org I was able to get my plugin to pass the parameters as Google expects them and everything seems to be working correctly. The update should appear in your WordPress Dashboard fairly soon.
WordPress Google Form v0.15 released
0This morning I fixed the problem with the default settings which caused any of the settings which are on by default, to be on no matter what. Even when the user would turn them off, the plugin would ignore the user setting which was being saved correctly, just ignored being ignored by the during the default check.
I also finished removing the jQuery-Validate plugin as it is no longer used as well as a bunch of debug code and functions which are no longer used. Updates should appear on your Dashboard soon and it is already available for download in the WordPress plugin repository.
Quick bump to v0.14 for WordPress Google Form
025 days
While looking at a CSS styling problem for someone I encountered a minor bug on the Options page. The plugin wasn’t picking up the default options correctly and in some cases a PHP array index warning would appear on the Options page. This bug has been fixed and I’ve released v0.14. You can download it from the WordPress plugin repository or update it from the Dashboard.
WordPress Google Form v0.13 fixes “back” bug
0I have just committed v0.13 to the WordPress plugin repository. An update should appear in your WordPress Dashboard fairly soon. This update fixes a problem when using multi-page Google Forms which have radio buttons and check boxes on them. When the “Back” button was selected to view the previous page of the form, the previously selected values were not retained. This bug has been fixed and the “Back” and “Continue” buttons now work as expected.

wp-SwimTeam v0.2.488 – bug for scratches
601 days
There was a bug in the scratch process where if you started on the Meets tab when the Scratch action was selected, there was not a list of swimmers presented for the user to scratch. When starting on the Roster page and selecting a swimmer to scratch did work properly. The bug has been fixed and v0.2.488 is now available for download and both paths, starting with a meet or starting with a swimmer, now work correctly. The same bug would have affected Opt-In meets as well.
wp-SwimTeam v0.2.484 available
607 days
A new version of wp-SwimTeam has been posted. This releases fixes a couple minor bugs which prevented display of swim meet information in certain situations when scratching or registering from a swim meet. This version also introduces two new features:
- Open or Close the registration system. When the registration system is open, users can register their swimmers for the current season. When the registration system is closed, only an Admin or Editor can register swimmers. This setting appears on the Registration tab from the Options sub-menu.
- Enable or disable user sign ups for jobs. When the job system is set for user sign ups, a user can sign up for any open job. When the job system is set for admin sign up, users with either Admin or Editor roles can sign users up for jobs. This second mode is good for teams where a paper or Excel list is used for job sign ups. This setting appears on the Swim Team tab from the Options sub-menu.
