I just released a new plugin that is an add-on for Gravity Form which allows leads generated in Gravity Forms to be fed into HubSpot. The Gravity Forms HubSpot add-on let’s you use the HubSpot Lead API to send your Gravity Forms based landing page leads directly to HubSpot. All you need to do is add one setting and check a box when configuring your forms. All your form entries will then be added to HubSpot from now on. Integrating with HubSpot has never been so simple.

I’m looking for some folks to beta test the upcoming version of Lightbox Plus (v.2.5). It’s undergone some major changes and I’d like to do a little extra testing with it. I’m also looking for some people who might be willing to translate Lightbox Plus into other languages.
Please contact me using one of the following links to let me know if you are interested in beta-testing or translating or both.
See after the jump for details of the new changes.
I’m switching the forums back to bbPress now that there is a bbPress WordPress plugin for it. I’m going to try to port all the messages back but there I’m not sure how that will work out. So please be patient if you feel you need to post to the forums. I had previously used bbPress but is seemed that no progress was being made regarding development so I switched to Mingle Forum. Turns out bbPress was more useful – I was able to track topics better and respond better to posts. So that said I need to fix a few style issue and and try to port the posts back to bbPress and then the forums will be available once again.
UPDATE: In retrospect I’ve decided not to import the existing forum content for a couple of reasons. One, I don’t have the time to do it. And, two, I’d just like to start fresh with the forums and simplify them.
I have a number of new features in the works for Lightbox Plus for WordPress and I thought I’d go ahead and mention some of them here now. I was hoping to release the version today or tomorrow but it looks like it’s probably going to be later in the week. In any event I have the following items planned.
An option to set fixed positioning that will keep the lightobox centered in the visitor’s viewport while scrolling the page. Also the option to specify the horizontal and vertical position of the lightbox on the page.
Option to turn on or off grouping labels, and a fix for the grouping labels not always saving when changed. Option to turn of scroll bars even if content overflows the lightbox. And finally and option to open the lightbox immediately when a visitor lands on the page.
Ability to set additional option for them such as Overlay Opacity, Overlay Close, Transition Type and Resize Speed.
I intend to reorganize some of the elements of the WordPress admin interface to provide a more consistent experience for users and make it easier to find settings.
Lightbox Plus 2.4 has been released. I have completely removed support for PHP 4 at this point. PHP 4 reached end of life as of August 8th 2008 and WordPress no longer supports it going forward. Do not upgrade if you are using PHP 4. I also added a small patch to the PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser to check for the existence of the mbstring library which was causing issues for some folks. Milan Petrovic pointed out a minor bug that was causing syntax highlighter using Alex Gorbatchev JavaScript SyntaxHighlighter to not work. This was traced back to the PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser stripping out return. Currently this is set to leave returns in but will be added as an option soon.
