/**
 * Gravity Wiz // Gravity Forms // Shortcodes as Merge Tags for Gravity Forms Conditional Shortcode
 * http://gravitywiz.com/
 *
 * Requires Gravity Forms 2.4.17.2+
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 * 1. First convert your shortcode into a merge tag.
 *
 * Shortcode: [gravityforms action="remaining" id="123" input_id="4.3" limit="100"]
 * Merge Tag: {shortcode:gravityforms&action=remaining&id=123&input_id=4.3&limit=100}
 *
 * 2. Use your merge tag in the GF conditional shortcode `merge_tag` parameter.
 *
 * [gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{shortcode:gravityforms&action=remaining&id=123&input_id=4.3&limit=100}" condition="less_than" value="50"]
 *     Hurry! Only [gravityforms action="remaining" id="661" input_id="1.3" limit="100"] tickets left!
 * [/gravityforms]
