I'm using a custom post type for my form submissions and this way I'm able to test the field before I send the email message to that email address from my custom field.</p> <p>But there is a problem: I get the email address into my custom field and I used the same key name for the email function, but there is no email send after the post is gets published.<br /> Any idea what might be wrong?</p> <p>EDIT:<br /> I found the problem, because I'm using a custom post type (named "questions") I need to change the action:</p> <p><code>add_action(&#39;publish_questions&#39;, &#39;email_members&#39;);</code></p> <p>Great function even for non GF tasks :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-custom-fields-data-to-post-body#post-33142 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 11:48:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 33142@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you accept the URL in the form, just add that merge field to the content template, so that it will be shown with the post body they submitted.</p> <p>Can you post the form somewhere public? You mentioned 'registered user' but I am not. </p> <p>Are you using the content template now? Click on your Post Body field, and be sure "Create content template" is checked. Then, from the "Insert form field" drop down, find the field that you use to accept their URL, and insert that into the template either before or after the content, and image or whatever else you're using.</p> <p>If you insert it by itself, it will just be plain text in your post body. You will need to create the HTML link and insert that merge tag twice. It will look something like this:</p> <pre><code>Visit my site: &lt;a href=&quot;{Your Website:2}&quot;&gt;{Your Website:2}&lt;/a&gt;</code></pre> <p>That can be either before or after the post body and image and whatever else you are putting into the post. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-custom-fields-data-to-post-body#post-33135 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 09:12:24 +0000 paulv 33135@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Any feedback on this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-custom-fields-data-to-post-body#post-33021 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 10:41:09 +0000 paulv 33021@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi<br /> Asa newbie I am struggling with getting beyond the basics. This plugin is great and I know it can do everything I want - problem is don't know that I can everything I want.<br /> I have a registered user upload function on new site: <a href="http://photodesk.org/" rel="nofollow">http://photodesk.org/</a><br /> All swell - except I wish a custom field I created where a user enters url &gt;&gt;Your Website&lt;&lt; to show on the post when it is published.<br /> Would also like to add a couple extra fields in this manner....<br /> Have spent day trying to sort this out - found this thread but still not getting it!!!<br /> BTW Gravity Forms for Dummies would be great<br /> Any advice please.<br /> Cheers<br /> Paul </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/solution-automatic-email-once-post-has-been-approved#post-30522 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:39:10 +0000 nicole 30522@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just tried to use this code but it did not work. Besides replacing YOUR_CUSTOMFIELD_KEY with the name of the custom field that you're using to collect the email address do you have to make any other changes to the code? For example post ID? Does it stay like that or do you put the ID of the post?</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/solution-automatic-email-once-post-has-been-approved#post-30490 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 05:33:36 +0000 nicole 30490@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Has this been integrated into the plugin?<br /> I would like to do exactly this but since quite a while has passed since this post I am not sure if this function has been integrated or if I should try and follow these instructions? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/solution-automatic-email-once-post-has-been-approved#post-25535 Sat, 14 May 2011 15:47:04 +0000 trig 25535@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is this possibly going to be included in a future release. Also, any consideration to it being triggered when a submitted post moves from draft to published? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/solution-automatic-email-once-post-has-been-approved#post-23753 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 12:10:34 +0000 David Smith 23753@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No problem. In Rnfsolutions original snippet, he is getting the user's email from a custom field. So what you'll need to do is add a "Custom Field" from the "Post Fields" field menu ( <a href="http://grab.by/9Vyb" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/9Vyb</a> ) to your form. Then you'll update the "Custom Field Name" attribute of the Custom Field field (haha, hope that makes sense) to whatever you'd like to name your custom field ( <a href="http://grab.by/9Vyh" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/9Vyh</a> ).</p> <p>Now back to Rnfsolutions snippet, you'd replace "YOUR_CUSTOMFIELD_KEY" in the code to the name of your custom field (in my example above, I named the custom field "user_email").</p> <p>Make sense? :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/solution-automatic-email-once-post-has-been-approved#post-23751 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 12:01:25 +0000 Patag 23751@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your reply. I read it about 6 times, but it still did not get any clearer :)<br /> The form vs post vs custom post field and Post custom field is too confusing.</p> <p>Maybe I should have stressed more the 'how' question, as even if I would understand what you mean, I still would not know how to do it?</p> <p>Thanks in advance </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/solution-automatic-email-once-post-has-been-approved#post-23748 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:50:58 +0000 David Smith 23748@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Patag,</p> <p>Assuming you are implementing this for posts created from a Gravity Form, you'll wanted to add a Post Custom Field from the Post Fields section on your form. Using the Post Custom Field you can store any user submitted value (or a number of system generated values) as a custom field of the post generated by the Gravity Form submission. </p>
