Features  🛠

  • PLANET-6867 – Support File type on all forms
    • When creating a Form in Gravity Forms, editors can now allow the upload of all file types (.pdf / .jpeg / .png, and more) up to a maximum of 10.
    • Uploaded files will then be stored in /admin.php?page=gf_entries&orderby=3&order=asc

  • PLANET-6851 – Gravity Forms – Implement the admin settings for form share buttons
    • When a user fills in a form, they’ll now have the option to share what they’ve just signed on WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter or via Email. The feature is enable in the Gravity Forms confirmation settings, where a custom share text / link can also be set up.
Share buttons can be activated at the “Confirmation” tab
  • PLANET-6527 – Style the default Posts listing page (MVP)
    • In order to make the default Posts listing pages more attractive, there’s now the option to style your feed in the beautiful P4 design. A quick change in Settings > Reading and the default Posts page looks like this demo:

  • PLANET-6908 – Remove slide animation from the Cookie Box
    • In order to improve page speed, the animation of the Cookie Box has been removed.
The Cookie Box will no longer slide in.
  • PLANET-6891 – Actions: enable the Open Graph metabox
    • We love Metadata! So it’s only logical this feature for search and other social crawlers should also be available on Action pages, right? Open Graph everywhere!
Open Graph
  • PLANET-6875 – Quick Links: Start from 9 items by default
    • The “Quick Links” blocks feature will from now on start with 9 items. Decrease is of course still available, and the “stack on mobile” feature is now enabled by default.
Decrease of the number of Quick Links is done on the right, under “Columns”.

  • PLANET-6913 – Show primary buttons for Actions in search results
    • In order to make Actions stand out on the search listing pages, the buttons have received the Primary Button design. This needs to be enabled in the backend: Planet 4 > Information Architecture > Action post type.
