GRAVITY allows you to block specific URLs from displaying content within the specified area. “CONTAINS in PATH”, “CONTAINS in PARAMS”, and “ENTIRE URL” allow you to be very specific about the pages where you want to block GRAVITY content. In this example, we illustrate how to block GRAVITY content from appearing on any URL path with the word ‘project’ in it by using a general rule. In addition, we illustrate how to block GRAVITY on a search result page containing files.

Block specific URLs from displaying content within the specified area

The GRAVITY Admin Site allows you to block specific URLs from displaying GRAVITY content within the specified area.

To access the configuration, go to the site configuration, where you want to block certain URLS (Sites), select Site Mapping and select the appropriate element in the URL list. When you click edit, you see the block fields below the first section.

“CONTAINS in PATH”, “CONTAINS in PARAMS”, and “ENTIRE URL”. Be very specific about the pages where you want to block GRAVITY content

You can block Gravity Forms submissions on a URL-specific basis by using the “CONTAINS in PATH”, “CONTAINS in PARAMS”, and “ENTIRE URL” options.

These allow you to be very specific about the pages where you want to block GRAVITY content. Let’s look at the configuration options.

  • Option
  • STARTS_WITH
  • PAGE
  • DOMAIN
  • CONTAINS_IN_PARAMS
  • CONTAINS_IN_PATH
  • Description
  • Beginning of Page URL
  • A single page
  • Block a whole domain
  • Block parameters after the “?”. sharepoint.com/projects/project1.html?searchresult=files
  • A string between slashes “/” inside the whole URL excluding parameters sharepoint.com/projects/project1.html?searchresult=files

Ho to do it

In this example, we illustrate how to block GRAVITY content from appearing on any URL path with the word ‘project ‘ in it by using a general rule. We illustrate how to block GRAVITY on a search result page containing files.

Block project

The assumption is that a normal URL to a projects site is: sharepoint.com/project/project1.html

To start blocking ‘project’ in SharePoint:

  • Go to Admin > Sites > Select a configuration from the list > Tab: Site Mapping
  • Press the edit button in the listed URL you need to exclude a URL
  • Go to the ‘Ignore list’
  • add ‘projects’ and select ‘CONTAINS_IN_PATH’
  • press the ‘Add’ button to confirm the rule to this configuration

Once the configuration is updated (with a default interval of 8 hours), rules will take effect.

Block files parameters

The assumption is that a URL to a file search result is: sharepoint.com/projects/project1.html?searchresult=files

To configure the blocking on ‘file search results’ add the following configuration to the ignore list.

  • add ‘searchresult=files’ and select ‘CONTAINS_IN_PARAMS’

Conclusion

We hope this post has helped you better understand how you can configure GRAVITY to be not active on certain sits. If you have any questions or need help implementing your own solution, please contact us, we’d be happy to assist!
