I am able to get all of the variables into the post except the date and time. I am using a variation of alex's code which I have put in my theme's functions.php file. The form I am using has custom post fields of date and time type for the start and end dates and times respectively. The form also has two custom post fields of type hidden. I will work to get the form online so it can be inspected. Currently I am editing locally and using GF 1.5. Many thanks for your help the help of all those who attacked this problem before me!

Where do the fields below go in Gravity Forms. _isEvent (make this “1″) _EventVenue _EventCost _EventStartDate (2010-05-20 09:00:00) _EventEndDate (2010-05-20 17:00:00) _EventPhone _EventCountry (United States) _EventState (AZ) _EventCity _EventProvince (???) _EventZip _EventShowMapLink _EventAllDay (make this “yes” if it’s a full day event) _EventAddress Thanks in advance Muz!

Thank you. sriganesh on "Combining fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/combining-fields#post-10067 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 12:45:42 +0000 sriganesh 10067@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ @brianfidler Thanks for the tutorial. It works perfectly. Btw, could you explain how to change the code if I was to use date picker in the gravity form. Thanks brianfidler on "Combining fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/combining-fields#post-9974 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 16:10:55 +0000 brianfidler 9974@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I've got this code to work for Gravity Forms v1.3 and The Events Calendar. At the end I've also got a snippet to format the post_name from the post_title for the pretty URL. Also, my date and times are both in an array because i'm using the Date Field rather than the Date Picker in Gravity Forms. <pre><code>//GravityForms Modifications //change post type for Events to sp_events for Event Posting form add_filter("gform_post_data", "change_post_type", 10, 2); function change_post_type($post_data, $form){ if($form["id"] == '5'){ $post_data["post_type"] = "sp_events"; } return $post_data; } //convert date and time to Events Calendar style for Event Posting form add_action("gform_pre_submission", "format_event_date"); function format_event_date($form){ //replace 5 with your actual form id if($form["id"] != 5) return; //replace input_5 and input_6 with your actual date field IDs $startDate = $_POST["input_5"]; $endDate = $_POST["input_6"]; //replace input_23 and input_24 with your actual time field IDs $startTime = $_POST["input_23"]; $endTime = $_POST["input_24"]; $eventStartDate = $startDate[2] .

However I'm running into an issue where the Start and End dates are not being passed to the Events UNLESS an editor goes in an manually unchecks the "All day event?" box and then publishes the post. Otherwise the date data is lost and it defaults to 1970. Any ideas how to fix this? I'm using this code in my functions file: <pre><code>add_action("gform_pre_submission", "format_event_date"); function format_event_date($form){ //replace 1 with your actual form id if($form["id"] != 4) return; //replace 4 with your actual date field ID $date = $_POST["eventday"]; //replace with your actual time field ID $time = $_POST["starttime"]; $timeend = $_POST["endtime"]; $hour = str_pad($time[0], 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); //making sure hour has 2 digits $minute = str_pad($time[1], 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); //making sure minutes has 2 digits $hourend = str_pad($timeend[0], 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); //making sure hour has 2 digits $minuteend = str_pad($timeend[1], 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); //making sure minutes has 2 digits //formatting date $raw_date = "{$date} {$hour}:{$minute}{$time[2]}"; $formatted_date = gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($raw_date)); $raw_dateend = "{$date} {$hourend}:{$minuteend}{$timeend[2]}"; $formatted_dateend = gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($raw_dateend)); //replace with the IDs of the hidden fields that will hold the formatted dates $_POST["eventstartdate"] = $formatted_date; $_POST["eventenddate"] = $formatted_dateend; }</code></pre> David Smith on "Combining fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/combining-fields#post-8247 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 10:49:51 +0000 David Smith 8247@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ If you want to send me FTP access to your WP install, I will take a look: <a href="mailto:david@ounceoftalent.com">david@ounceoftalent.com</a>
