If so, try using just a single line text input. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/code-to-specify-that-a-tag-entered-in-a-form-should-go-to-a-custom-taxonomy#post-36294 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 23:58:22 +0000 RichardBest 36294@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So here's another update. There was an error of some sort in the code above. The code below ALMOST works but not 100% as intended. It DOES now assign tags to designated taxonomies but it ALSO assigns them the WP default tag taxonomy. </p> <p>If I could get the code to assign tags in the specified fields ONLY to the designated taxonomies, it would be working perfectly. (The WP default tag taxonomy would still need to work for other tag fields not referred to in the code.)</p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_post_submission&#39;, &#39;hyp_tag_to_taxonomy&#39;, 10, 2); function hyp_tag_to_taxonomy($entry, $form){ $post_id = $entry[&#39;post_id&#39;]; $taxonomy = &#39;&#39;; foreach($form[&#39;fields&#39;] as $field) { switch($form[&#39;id&#39;]) { case 1: // enter your form ID here switch($field[&#39;id&#39;]) { case 12: // update to a field ID which contains a list of tags $taxonomy = &#39;your-tax-name&#39;; $tag_string = $entry[12]; break; case 14: // update to a field ID which contains a list of tags $taxonomy = &#39;different-tax-name&#39;; $tag_string = $entry[14]; break; } break; case 2: // enter your form ID here switch($field[&#39;id&#39;]) { case 13: // update to a field ID which contains a list of tags $taxonomy = &#39;your-tax-name&#39;; $tag_string = $entry[12]; break; case 15: // update to a field ID which contains a list of tags $taxonomy = &#39;different-tax-name&#39;; $tag_string = $entry[14]; break; } break; } $tags = array_map(&#39;trim&#39;, explode(&#39;,&#39;, $tag_string)); if(!$post_id || empty($tags)) return; foreach($tags as $tag) wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $tag, $taxonomy, true); } }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/code-to-specify-that-a-tag-entered-in-a-form-should-go-to-a-custom-taxonomy#post-36288 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 22:11:07 +0000 RichardBest 36288@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi All - In case it helps, I had a developer look at combining the two bits of code referred to above.
