I updated "set_post_type" to "update_post_type" and had success.

I presume it is interfering with a new WordPress function called set_post_type(). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-a-form-to-create-a-new-custom-post-type#post-5163 Sat, 01 May 2010 23:11:28 +0000 Anonymous 5163@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><strong>@alex</strong>: Ah yes, the old "<em>We can't add that highly useful feature because the end users would be too confused if we did</em>" mantra. You didn't work for Apple in a past life, did you? :-)</p> <p>Seriously though; there are several ways to achieve this. You can use sanitize_title_with_dashes() on the name of the form but require them to be unique, easy-peasy. </p> <p>And you could easily add a non-conspicuous field on the advanced tab such as <em>Name form for programmatic access</em>" the only reveals when checked (like "<em>Allow field to be populated dynamically</em>" does for fields) that would default to the title passed to sanitize_title_with_dashes().</p> <p>I do hope you'll consider this. I had thought I'd gotten past having to use hard-coded numbers in code to identify things when I wrote my last FORTRAN program back in the early 80's, hope you won't prove me wrong. ;-)</p> <p>(BTW, did you know your forum doesn't display <em>italics</em>?) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-a-form-to-create-a-new-custom-post-type#post-5120 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 20:36:47 +0000 Luke 5120@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm looking for this same functionality.

While trying to figure out what the problem is, I had the system echo $form["id"] and this value appears to reflect not the ID of the form in the system but the ID of the entry. On my end, this value reflects the number of times the form has been filled out. Every time I fill the form out, this number increases by 1.</p> <p>I need to add an action dependent upon what form is being filled out. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-a-form-to-create-a-new-custom-post-type#post-3901 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:17:02 +0000 BaldwinKoo 3901@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I guess my post is semi-related to this but I am looking for a way to have a custom post field that posts to the meta description and have the uploaded image post its link in post image field in thesis 1.6.

I understand the advantages of using a name instead of the id, but that would require adding a "Name" field to the form editor that doesn't mean anything for non "power-users". We are try very hard to keep the UI clean. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-a-form-to-create-a-new-custom-post-type#post-3522 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:19:20 +0000 Anonymous 3522@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Awesome, you rock dudes! :)</p> <p>One question though, any chance you can enhance the API in the future to allow me to associate a programmatic name with the form rather than have to use the numeric ID? </p>
