Gating

Updated

Overview

Gating is the lead form in front of public downloads. It does not apply to docs set to Selected users.

Where to find these settings

Go to Documentation → Settings and find Gating.

These settings used to be under Appearance → Customize → Dirigible Documentation. They moved with the same values, so there's nothing to set again, and old links to the Customizer open the new page. On a site whose Dirigible theme hasn't updated yet, they're still in the Customizer.

Settings

  • Enable Gating: turn the lead form on (default off). The settings below appear once it's on.
  • Gravity Form ID: the form to show. Save it together with Enable Gating; with 0, public docs stay locked with no form
  • Headline: heading on the overlay
  • Subheadline: line under the headline
  • Body (HTML Allowed): optional extra copy
  • Enable Gate Bypass: let visitors dismiss the form without submitting (default off)
  • Bypass Text: dismiss button label (default No thanks). It appears once bypass is on

Select Save Settings at the bottom of the page. You need an Administrator or Manager account.

Tips

  • Create the Gravity Form first, then enter its ID. Forms → Forms lists each form's ID.
  • If the form changes, reset everyone from Dirigible → Tools → Reset Documentation Gating.
