Gravity Forms Shortcode – A Detailed Explanation
This post is about Gravity Forms, a WordPress contact form plugin.
What are shortcodes?
Think of shortcodes as a placeholder for where other content will be displayed: instead of “Insert a Gravity Forms form here,” we use the gravityform shortcode. Learn more about shortcodes on WordPress.org.
The Gravity Forms shortcode has five pieces:
[gravityform id=# name=TEXT title=boolean description=boolean ajax=boolean]
id(required) – The ID of the form, as displayed on the Gravity Forms Edit Forms page in the Id columnname(required) - The name of the form.title– Show the title to users? Default is true; set to “false” to disabledescription– Show the form’s description to users? Default is true; set to “false” to disable.ajax– Submit the form without refreshing? Default is false; set to “true” to enable.
Gravity Forms Shortcode Examples:
[gravityform id=1 name=Example Form title=false description=false ajax=true]
Will result in Form #1 being displayed without a title or description, with no-refresh entry submission.

Gravity Forms Ajax Submit – Version 1.4 Adds Ajax Support
The Gravity Forms plugin has recently updated to Version 1.4, and it adds a bunch of features. The one I am most excited about is Ajax submission – this means that the form no longer requires a page reload to display errors and to submit. This brings the plugin in line with Contact Form 7 and cFormsII in this functionality.
I was looking for how to enable the new Ajax submission feature on my forms, and had a moment of doubt. Here’s how:

Improve Gravity Forms – Gravity Forms Addons Plugin
Download Gravity Forms Addons Plugin on WordPress.org
Gravity Forms + Directory Capabilities
Since Gravity Forms came out, it’s been transforming how WordPress can be used. It makes a contact form more than a contact form. It makes a contact form the basis for anything you can imagine.
The Gravity Forms Addons plugin has added Directory capability to Gravity Forms.
The directory shortcode
You can add a directory for any form using the directory shortcode. When you add the plugin, you’ll see a new button to the right of the Gravity Forms “Add Gravity Form” button. This pop-up has lots of configuration options. Click the “Show advanced settings” link for tons of configuration options.
Gravity Forms is Great. Let’s Make it Better.
To view one pane, the other panes close. What a pane in the ass! 
I really enjoy the Gravity Forms plugin. It’s a great form generator seemingly based on making a Wufoo-style experience for a WordPress form plugin. It’s super-simple to use and set up, and I’ve set up my website request form using Gravity Forms.
Some little things make a big difference
One thing that has frustrated me about the plugin is that when selecting the type of field to add to the form, I had to click a box to show it, like the image to the right. I knew that it would be a simple thing to fix…so I did. Enter the Gravity Forms Addon plugin.
