Release: Introducing Gravity Forms Calendar 1.8

We’re excited to announce the release of Gravity Forms Calendar 2.0! This new update sees the addition of calendar subscription links, allowing users to subscribe to your calendar feed using Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.

But that’s not all. In Calendar 2.0 you’ll also find some powerful new shortcodes, additional Gutenberg blocks, and all new calendar controls for switching between layout types 😎

Keep reading as we unpack the full release below.

In the GravityView Calendar feed settings, you’ll see a new option allowing you to create a calendar subscription link. When you enable the link, a new URL will be generated, which you can share with users who want to subscribe to your calendar. 

Users with Apple or Google Calendar can open the link to “sync” their calendar to your GravityView calendar feed. This means that events on their calendar will mirror the events displayed in your GravityView calendar feed.

GravityView Calendar Calendar subscription settings

By enabling subscription links, you can:

  • Allow users to subscribe to your calendar feed using their Google Calendar or Apple Calendar
  • Allow users to download an .ics file for importing into any calendar application
  • Add calendar buttons to your website, making it easy to share links to your calendar

You can implement these new features using blocks or shortcodes.

New GravityView Calendar Blocks

This update sees the addition of two new GravityView calendar blocks – “GravityView Calendar Buttons” and “GravityView Calendar Link”.

The new GravityView Calendar blocks added in this latest update

The GravityView Calendar Buttons block adds two new buttons to your page layout. One of the buttons allows users to export your calendar feed as an .ics file and the other button allows users to copy the calendar feed URL.

Two buttons below a calendar. One says "Export Calendar" and the other says "Copy Calendar Feed URL".

The “GravityView Calendar Link” block adds a link that allow users to subscribe to your calendar feed in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.

A link underneath a Gravity Forms Calendar that says "Subscribe to Calendar"

When you open the block settings, you’ll see an option to change the link type. There are two options: Subscribe or Download.

  • Subscribe – Links to a live-updating calendar feed
  • Download – Allows users to download an .ics file containing calendar event information

New Calendar Controls
