How do Directory Search filters work?
If the field is a text field, a text search input will be added that will search only this field. Otherwise, the field choices will be used to populate a dropdown menu search input.
Example: if the "Vehicle Make" field has choices "Ford", "Chevy", and "Toyota", the search dropdown options will have those items as choices in a dropdown search field. If "Ford" is selected and the search form is submitted, only entries with the Vehicle Make of "Ford" will be shown.

add_filter('kws_gf_treat_not_logged_in_as_user', '__return_false');
How do I sort by a column?
The sort attribute allows you to sort by an ID. To find the field ID, On the Gravity Forms ìEdit Formsî page, hover over the form and click the link called "IDs" that appears.
If you want to sort by last name, you find the last name id (1.6 for example). Then, you add sort="1.6" to your [directory] shortcode.
Your shortcode could then look something like [directory form="1" sort="1.6"]
I want the URL to be different than `/entry/` - can I do that?
You can! Add the following to your theme's functions.php file:
add_filter('kws_gf_directory_endpoint', 'different_directory_endpoint');
function different_directory_endpoint($endpoint) {
return 'example'; // Use your preferred text here. Note: punctuation may screw things up.
}
How do I change who created an Entry?
You will see a drop-down input titled "Change Entry Creator" in the Edit Entry "Info" box when you are editing an entry on your site. Change the user in the dropdown, then click the Update button to commit the changes.
Only users with entry entry editing capability will be able to see the drop-down and edit the entry (the gravityforms_edit_entries capability)
Select a new user from the drop-down, update the entry, and the entry creator will be updated.
A note will be added to the entry with the following information:

How do I add a date filter?
To add a filter by date, you add either a start_date or end_date parameter--or both--in YYYY-MM-DD format. Here's an example:
[directory form="14" start_date="1984-10-22" end_date="2011-09-07"]
How do I find a field ID?
On the Gravity Forms "Edit Forms" page, hover over the form and click the link called "IDs" that appears.
What's the license?
This plugin is released under a GPL license.
Form submissions are showing as duplicates.
This is a known issue. If the submission page has both a form in the content and the same form on the sidebar widget, the entry will be submitted twice. We're working on a fix.
How do I remove referrer information from emails?
Add the following to your theme's functions.php file:
remove_filter('gform_pre_submission_filter','gf_yst_store_referrer');
How do I use the filters?
If you want to modify the output of the plugin, you can do so by adding code to your active theme's functions.php file. For more information, check out the add_filter() WordPress Codex page
Plugin filters
kws_gf_directory_output, kws_gf_directory_output_'.$form_id - Modify output for all directories or just a single directory, by ID
kws_gf_directory_detail, kws_gf_directory_detail_'.$lead_id - Modify output for single entries
kws_gf_directory_value, kws_gf_directory_value_'.$input_type, kws_gf_directory_value_'.$field_id - Modify output for fields in general, or based on type (text, date, textarea, etc...), or based on field id.
kws_gf_directory_th, kws_gf_directory_th_'.$field_id, kws_gf_directory_th_'.sanitize_title($label) - Modify the <th> names en masse, by field ID, or by field name (lowercase like a slug)
kws_gf_directory_lead_image, kws_gf_directory_lead_image_icon, kws_gf_directory_lead_image_image, kws_gf_directory_lead_image_'.$lead_id
And many more - search for apply_filters and do_action in the gravity-forms-addons.php file
// This replaces "John" in a first name field with "Jack"
add_filter('kws_gf_directory_value_text', 'john_to_jack');
function john_to_jack($content) {
return str_replace('John', 'Jack', $content);
}
// This replaces the "Email" table column header with "asdsad"
add_filter('kws_gf_directory_th', 'email_to_asdsad');
function email_to_asdsad($content) {
return str_replace('Email', 'asdsad', $content);
}

add_filter('kws_gf_directory_output', 'displaying_to_asdasd');
function displaying_to_asdasd($content) {
return str_replace('Displaying', 'asdsad', $content);
}

// You can modify all sorts of things using the $img array in this filter.

// $img = array('src' => $src, 'size' => $size, 'title' => $title, 'caption' => $caption, 'description' => $description, 'url' => $url, 'code' => "");
$img['code'] = '';
return $img;
}
I can't see the fields in the Add Fields box!
The code is meant to expand all the field boxes so you don't need to click them open and closed all the time. This works normally in Safari and Chrome (read: good browsers :-P). For some other browsers, it breaks the whole page.
To fix this issue, add this to your theme's functions.php file:
add_filter('kws_gf_display_all_fields', create_function('$content', 'return "";') );
I don't want the values to be formatted
Since 3.6.3, the Directory plugin displays formatted values (like currency). To disable that, add the code below to your theme's functions.php file:
add_filter('kws_gf_directory_format_value', '__return_false' );
Bulk Approval/Disapproval of entries doesn't work for me!
Since 4.1, Bulk Approval requires Gravity Forms 2.2.4 (released August 8, 2017). Please update your Gravity Forms.
There's an incorrect entry count when using Smart Approval
Since 4.1, Smart Approval may return inaccurate entry counts. This will be fixed automatically once Gravity Forms 2.3 is released and installed on your site.
To add a filter by date, you add either a start_date or end_date parameter--or both--in YYYY-MM-DD format. Here's an example:
[directory form="14" start_date="1984-10-22" end_date="2011-09-07"]
