GravityView DIY Layout

Description

The GravityView DIY Layout addon unlocks full control over the HTML of GravityView Views, allowing custom markup with field placeholders to be written within the layout editor. Designed for developers and agencies that need non-standard structures, it replaces pre-defined layouts with a blank space where each form element can be positioned using custom classes, divs, and components.

Key Features

• Free HTML editor
  Allows custom markup to be written directly in the View’s Multiple Entries, Single Entry, and Edit Entry areas.
• Form field merge tags
  Inserts values from any Gravity Forms field through placeholders within custom HTML.
• Compatibility with visual builders
  Works alongside Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, and Gutenberg blocks within the View structure.
• Support for custom CSS and classes
  Accepts arbitrary classes, IDs, and styles for integration with frameworks such as Bootstrap, Tailwind, or the theme’s CSS.
• Three independent display modes
  Each View area (list, single entry, and editing) can have a completely different HTML layout.

Benefits of GravityView DIY Layout

• Complete design freedom
  Removes the restrictions of GravityView’s standard layouts and enables any planned visual structure.
• Integration with the existing theme
  Allows existing site theme components, grids, and classes to be reused without rewriting styles.
• Supports custom projects
  Enables directories, portals, and dashboards with an exclusive visual identity for end clients.
• Reduces reliance on CSS overrides
  Decreases the need to override plugin styles through the child theme stylesheet.

Who Is It For?

• WordPress developers who build directories and portals with their own visual identity on top of GravityView.
• Agencies that deliver custom projects for clients and need non-standard layouts.
• Professionals who already master HTML and CSS and want granular control over the display of Gravity Forms entries.

With custom markup per area, support for arbitrary classes, and integrated merge tags, the addon is positioned as a tool for those who need to break away from the standardized appearance of Views. It is designed for technical teams that treat GravityView as a visual database and want to deliver custom interfaces without giving up the convenience of the original View builder.
