You can use CSS to style and position them the way you want, so it appears seamless to the visitor. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-more-meta-to-image-field#post-45360 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:35:22 +0000 abacus718 45360@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Chris, actually, we're not using the form to create a post -- we only used the post image field because a) it had the title/description/caption fields (which we also needed) and we wanted it to auto-create the thumbnails. So we don't actually need the data in the addl fields to be attached to the image field at the end of the process - just trying to get it to show up there upon data entry. But if there isn't an easy way to add more meta fields, maybe i can just add additional medium/price fields under each image entry. thx! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-more-meta-to-image-field#post-45301 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:05:35 +0000 Chris Hajer 45301@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sounds like you will be extending the _wp_attachment_metadata entry in the wp_postmeta table. This sounds like a complex customization. Do you have any examples of how to do this with WordPress? If you do, I think we can figure out how to capture that information in a form. I believe we will have to use additional fields, then update the post using the <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">gform_after_submission</a> (for the attachment) after the form is submitted. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-more-meta-to-image-field#post-45286 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:48:24 +0000 abacus718 45286@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have form with an IMAGE post field, and I have "title" and "description" checked off under the meta information. I'd also like to add two additional fields for each image post field -- medium and price. My form has multiple image fields, so I don't want to have a separate field for each of these values, but would rather attach/group them with the image meta. Can you point me to where I can customize the meta options available for post images? Thanks </p>
