Calculate Number of Days Between Two Fields

Turn your Gravity Form into a booking calculator!

Use with two date fields (a start date and an end date), as well as a Product, Quantity and Total fields to convert Gravity forms into a booking calendar.

  1. Hi, you know how one could modify this code to allow for multiple date fields to be counted? Either by field IDs or adding more arrays into the Configuration at the bottom?

    1. Unfortunately, I don’t, I’ve tried to do so myself, and have not yet found a working solution. Have you tried contacting the Plugin author?
