Submission Chart Add-on for Gravity Forms

Adds a Forms → Submissions Chart page to the Gravity Forms admin menu with a bar chart of entries per day.

• Form filter with a checkbox per form (All forms by default), preselect one form via admin.php?page=gfsc_submissions_chart&form_id=3
• Ranges: Last 7 / 30 / 90 days, All Time, Custom
• Timezone-aware (buckets by the site timezone; GF stores entries in UTC)
• Zero-filled days so the x-axis stays continuous
• Bar colour follows the WP admin colour scheme
• Download CSV of the current view, with a column per form plus a total, and Print / PDF for a one-page report with the date range, chart and per-form totals
• Chart types: Bars, Line, Lines by form (one line per form plus a Total line) and Stacked bars by form. Line and by-form charts have a legend with each series' total for the range. The choice is remembered per browser. Up to 8 forms get their own color; any others fold into "Other forms"
• Click a day: with one form selected it opens GF's Entries list filtered to that date; with several it opens a panel listing that day's entries across those forms, with per-form "Open in Entries" links
• Recent Submissions: a 2-column grid with one card per form showing its last 5 entries. Each entry is labelled by the form's first Name field, else the first field labelled "name", else the first field that stores a value. Hovering an entry shows Spam and Trash links with an Undo, following the same visibility rules as GF's Entries list
• Laid out like Gravity Forms' own admin pages (logo header, centered content)
• Chart.js 4.4.3 bundled locally (no CDN)

Assets load only on the plugin's own page, so the Forms list and form editor are untouched.

Requirements

WordPress 5.8+, PHP 7.4+, Gravity Forms 2.5+. The plugin is an independent add-on, not affiliated with Rocketgenius.

Local development

Requires Docker Desktop.

./bin/setup.sh path/to/gravityforms.zip

This starts WordPress + MariaDB, installs WordPress and the Gravity Forms zip you pass, activates both plugins and seeds four sample forms with ~120 days of back-dated entries. Gravity Forms lives in the site's Docker volume, so it can be licensed and updated from wp-admin as usual. The zip is never committed.

The repo is bind-mounted as wp-content/plugins/submission-chart-add-on-for-gravity-forms, so edits are live.

./bin/wp.sh plugin list                     # any WP-CLI command
docker compose logs -f wordpress            # PHP/Apache output
docker compose exec wordpress tail -f wp-content/debug.log
docker compose down                         # stop (keeps data)
docker compose down -v                      # wipe the site and database

Re-seed more entries: ./bin/wp.sh eval-file wp-content/plugins/submission-chart-add-on-for-gravity-forms/bin/seed.php 365

Release zip

./bin/build-zip.sh

Builds dist/submission-chart-add-on-for-gravity-forms-<version>.zip from the working tree, excluding the dev files listed in .distignore.

See docs/wordpress-org-submission.md for the WordPress.org checklist and bin/release-wp.sh for deploying to SVN after approval.
