# GravityView & Extension Updates



## It's been a busy week for GravityView

Yesterday and today we released updates to GravityView & our Featured Entries, Visual Composer, and Advanced Filter Extensions. We're also making progress on the Ratings & Reviews Extension, and are working to have a beta ready in the next two weeks. It's really cool :-) ![Ratings & Reviews Preview](https://cf61600d-90c1-49ac-b4a6-d97914c46f41.cv03.conves.io/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Screen-Shot-2014-12-12-at-10.04.27-AM-1024x471.png)

## About the updates:

### GravityView - Version 1.5.2

- Added: Possibility to show the label of Dropdown field types instead of the value ([learn more](https://cf61600d-90c1-49ac-b4a6-d97914c46f41.cv03.conves.io/support/documentation/202889199/ "How to display the text label (not the value) of a dropdown field?"))
- Fixed: Sorting numeric columns (field type number)
- Fixed: View entries filter for Featured Entries extension
- Fixed: Field options showing delete entry label
- Fixed: PHP date formatting now keeps backslashes from being stripped
- Modified: Allow license to be defined in `wp-config.php` ([Read how here](https://cf61600d-90c1-49ac-b4a6-d97914c46f41.cv03.conves.io/support/documentation/202870789/))
- Modified: Added `$post_id` parameter as the second argument for the `gv_entry_link()` function. This is used to define the entry's parent post ID.
- Modified: Moved `GravityView_API::get_entry_id_from_slug()` to `GVCommon::get_entry_id_from_slug()`
- Modified: Added second parameter to `gravityview_get_entry()`, which forces the ability to fetch an entry by ID, even if custom slugs are enabled and `gravityview_custom_entry_slug_allow_id` is false.
- Updated Translations: 
    - Bengali translation by [@tareqhi](https://www.transifex.com/accounts/profile/tareqhi/)
    - Romanian translation by [@ArianServ](https://www.transifex.com/accounts/profile/ArianServ/)

### Advanced Filtering Extension - Version 1.0.4

- Fixed: Do not show entries for non logged users when the 'Created By' field value is 'Logged-in user'
- Tweak: Added `gravityview/adv_filter/view_filters` filter to allow modifying the filters generated by the Extension
- Fixed: Auto-upgrade for Multisite sites
- Added: Dutch translation (thanks, [@erikvanbeek](https://www.transifex.com/accounts/profile/erikvanbeek/)!)

### Featured Entries Extension - Version 1.0.6

- Fixed: Not showing entries when all entries were featured
- Fixed: Flush GravityView cache when entry is starred or un-starred
