We normally respond sooner than this. If you want to set what the publish date will be on the post you can do something similar to below. This code sets the post date/time based on fields on the form. In my example I have set a future date so the post winds up being "Scheduled" with the date/time chosen on the form as the "Scheduled for" date. Let me know if you have questions about the code.</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_post_data&quot;, &quot;set_post_date&quot;, 10, 2); function set_post_date($post_data, $form){ //only do this when the form id is 23 if($form[&quot;id&quot;] != 23) return $post_data; //set post date to field on form if date provided; get from POSTed data //using a date field in mm/dd/yyyy format and a time field in 24 hour format $date_value = rgpost(&quot;input_6&quot;); //pull the date value from the form data posted, field 6 on my form $time = rgpost(&quot;input_7&quot;); //pull the time value from the form data posted, field 7 on my form //only change post date/time when a date has been chosen if (!empty($date_value)) { if (empty($time)) { //set default time $time_value = &quot;00:00:00&quot;; } else { empty($time[0]) ? $time_hours = &quot;00&quot; : $time_hours = $time[0]; //pull hours out of array empty($time[1]) ? $time_minutes = &quot;00&quot; : $time_minutes = $time[1]; //pull minutes out of array $time_value = $time_hours . &quot;:&quot; . $time_minutes . &quot;:00&quot;; //add on seconds } //convert post date to the appropriate format so it will be inserted into the database $post_date = date(&quot;Y-m-d H:i:s&quot;,strtotime($date_value . &quot; &quot; . $time_value)); $post_data[&quot;post_date&quot;] = $post_date; //set the post_date } return $post_data; //return the changed data to use when the post is created }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-publish-date-from-date-field#post-46890 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:35:33 +0000 Zach Reed 46890@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>bump... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-publish-date-from-date-field#post-46850 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:10:19 +0000 Zach Reed 46850@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've been trying to get support everyday since Monday.

This would be a boon for a site I am working on. User submitted posts with a scheduled publish date. Wordpress can then show upcoming posts in order of the date entered by the user (event date). Perfect for upcoming events. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-publish-date-from-date-field#post-1339 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:59:06 +0000 Carl Hancock 1339@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Currently this isn't possible. We will add it to our feature ideas list and could potentially add it as a feature in a future release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-publish-date-from-date-field#post-1333 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:00:42 +0000 johnny9k 1333@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would like to have the date field determine the publish date of the new post. Is this possible? </p>
