Do you want to show tooltips in your Gravity Forms (with extra information about a certain field)? With Gravity Forms Tooltips you can add HTML and shortcode inside your Tooltips. Even for every radio button and checkbox item.
Adding a Tooltip
After activating the Gravity Forms Tooltips Add-on for Gravity Forms you’ll find an extra Field Settings tab called ‘Tooltip’. In it you can add the text and use HTML.
Shortcode and HTML inside Tooltip
You can use HTML and WordPress shortcodes inside the HTML Tooltip. We tried it with the GravityWP – Count add-on, our shortcode to filter and count entries (or a sum of a Number Field for multiple entries) and used it inside the Tooltip. Works like a charm.
We also used HTML inside the Tooltip, adding a button (Bootstrap styled). This is also allowed:
Styling Gravity Forms Tooltips
You can style how the Tooltip looks like in the Gravity Forms Settings > Tooltips page. Options:
- Pick an icon for the Tooltip and define the Icon Size and the Icon color
- Tooltip content Font Size, Text Color and Background Color
- Placement of the Tooltip: Top Left, Top, Top Right, Right, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Left
- Set a maximum width of the Tooltip
If you want to style the Tooltip for an individual Form, go to settings to Override the global tooltip options.
