I'm thoroughly familiar with Creative Commons licensing. It seems to me that you're trying to do this:</p> <p>(1) When a user submits post content via the front end using a GF form, you want to ask under which Creative Commons licensing terms the user is happy to license the posted material (which, importantly, assumes the material is protected by copyright and that the user is happy to license the material). You could easily set up a multichoice field that lists the six Creative Commons licence types (and other options if desired), one of which the user is required to select. I've done precisely this with a site I'm working on. </p> <p>(2) As Carl says, you could then call the answer in the custom field into your posts when displayed on the front end. You could to this in one of two ways. First, you could use GF's post content template feature to do it. Alternatively, you could amend the loop (probably in your index.php and single.php theme files) to call the custom field content. You'll find instructions in the WordPress codex on how to do this.</p> <p>Speaking as a lawyer, I do suggest you think carefully about adding terms to your site which require your users to be sure they own all relevant rights in the material they are posting and licensing. You might also want to add an indemnity clause which protects you from loss in the event that users post material they are not permitted to post/license. I suggest you also include a mandatory checkbox field in your GF posting form that requires users to accept your terms of use (to which you should link via the field just mentioned). Here's an example: <a href="http://grab.by/7EHl" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/7EHl</a> </p> <p>Cheers<br /> Richard </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-display-field-in-post#post-13625 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 12:50:34 +0000 Carl Hancock 13625@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not exactly sure what you mean by creative common field. You would most likely have to do this using custom fields and then modifying your theme to display a message based on the custom field value. The custom field would store what kind of content it is, then the theme would show the appropriate creative commons license based on the custom field value. But again, i'm not 100% sure what you are trying to do. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-display-field-in-post#post-13602 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 01:50:17 +0000 apek 13602@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>i am thinking about this, i want to display creative common license based on content post by user, let say if its an image, then creative common license options will be displayed, i guess thats easy to do in GF.</p> <p>how about to display the creative common field inside the post??? </p>
