Just Released: GravityView 2.4!

📆 Happy Emoji Day! 🎡🤸‍♂️

July 17 is World Emoji Day, and also the release date of Version 2.4 of GravityView! This GravityView update includes much-requested functionality and bug fixes. Alas, there were no additional emoji included in GravityView. This was, indeed, an oversight. 😿

Here are some highlights of the release:

Display an entry counter with the {sequence} Merge Tag

We added a {sequence} Merge Tag, which allows you to add a counter to the results in a View. This is a handy addition. Check out the video above for more information, and you can read about the Merge Tag on our docs site.

Show all entries when exporting a CSV

Customers love the functionality in GravityView that allows exporting entries as CSV by adding /csv/ to the URL. That functionality had a limitation, though: by default, it would only export the number of entries shown on a page (with a default of twenty-five). We were asked many times “How do I export all my GravityView entries to CSV at once?”

We heard you: In 2.4, we added a checkbox to export all entries at once. To enable in your View, check the new “Show all in CSV” checkbox.

Changes to who can edit a View

We are changing the capabilities required to add and edit a View in GravityView. Before Version 2.4, users with the Author role were able to create and edit Views, even if they lacked a capability called unfiltered_html. This capability gives users the permission to add HTML to a site that may include code that isn’t safe, like external JavaScript. In 2.4, we tightened security by requiring users to have the unfiltered_html capability to edit a View.

We understand this may be an inconvenience, and apologize! Here’s how to add the required capability to an existing role (such as Author) on your site.
