The User Registration does attribute posts created from a registration form to the registering user. Gravity Forms does not yet support any "Is user logged in?" conditional logic. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-submission-with-notification-after-moderation#post-26778 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 04:01:21 +0000 Mobe 26778@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Nice to see there are other people in this thread voting for this feature!</p> <p>@Carl Any News on this? Will this make it in the next release :)</p> <p>And another quick question about the user registration Plugin.<br /> Is it possible to have a multi form :<br /> Page 1 with the article submit form-&gt;submit<br /> optional Page 2 if user isn't registered or logged in with a registration form?</p> <p>If user is logged in, post is directly submitted. If user isnt logged in, post is submitted after login in on page 2. If user isnt registered, post is submitted after registering on page 2.</p> <p>I am not shure what the user registration add on is for exactly, but is something like this possible with it? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-submission-with-notification-after-moderation#post-23479 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 21:50:00 +0000 FanaticWeb 23479@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just realized that I'm not receiving the email notifications despite registering to this Topic by default?? Good thing I came back and refreshed the page. (And yes I checked the junkmail folder and nada)</p> <p>Carl, thank you for the confirmation, is there any video tutorial or thread that can showcase this setup even if its a basic entry level? I need a bit of guidance in how to build the forms using the conditional and variables in an attempt to deliver such a task.</p> <p>I saw this thread (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/paypal-submission-form" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/paypal-submission-form</a>) but it ended up being deflected from the main topic.</p> <p>So far, I was able to put up this basic form on <a href="http://www.vir2lboy.com/test/publish/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vir2lboy.com/test/publish/</a> and I have yet to integrate the paypal settings and whatnot, works fine as to receiving the submitted form, so far so good.</p> <p>I can PM you an admin level access to this demo site should it be required. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-submission-with-notification-after-moderation#post-23428 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:18:48 +0000 Carl Hancock 23428@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sure. You can do everything you just outlined using Gravity Forms and the PayPal Add-On. You can also even handle the Registration part using the User Registration Add-On. Thats what they were created to do. You can have it create the post after payment is received, or even set it to auto-publish the post when payment is received. It's entirely up to you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-submission-with-notification-after-moderation#post-23421 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 16:37:05 +0000 FanaticWeb 23421@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the quick tip Carl, I had not realized the flexibility of the Post Fields section until now and indeed it does exactly what I was looking for and what Mobe has brought up on here.</p> <p>I just need a bit of a clarification on the following:<br /> Whats the recommended type of field to insert when we need to pull the users registered username? (Either the one associated with WP or the ones created with the add-on user registration, I think it somehow ends up validating both if I'm not mistaking?).</p> <p>In my case scenario, here's what I'm trying to accomplish:<br /> 1. Users clicks on Publish an article</p> <p>2. User is not registered or logged in? Redirect to Account creation page or Login page</p> <p>3. Once registered, user is redirected to the Publish an article page or will have to manually come<br /> back to the Publish an article page if not feasible.</p> <p>4. User fills out the required and non-required fields, where one of the fields is a payment contribution.<br /> 4a. User selects Amount from the drop down menu (5$-10$-25$) pending on the options associated with the type of Article post.</p> <p>5. User clicks the Submit button and is redirected to the Paypal gateway to complete the payment (provided that they're using the same email entered within the Publish an article form)</p> <p>6. Meanwhile, the article is submitted and set to "Pending" state. (Also awaiting payment).</p> <p>7. Admin gets the new article post notification, verifies the Paypal payment (This can be set to automatically activate the post upon payment reception, whichever).</p> <p>8. Admin activates the Article by Publishing it to the Blog's dedicated Article page.</p> <p>I dont know if i'm over my head here or setting the expectations higher then what GF can deliver, but looking around, is there a way to deliver this sort of mechanism? If not yet, maybe in future releases? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-submission-with-notification-after-moderation#post-23293 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 14:44:28 +0000 Carl Hancock 23293@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@FantaticWeb User suggestions is where what we pull from for the majority of new features we add to Gravity Forms. However we can't add every user suggestion so we have to balance that out with knowing what the overall user community is going to want to use, etc. So we have to prioritize things. As I mentioned above we do plan on enhancing this functionality.</p> <p>Creating a form that posts to a blog is pretty simple, just use the Post Fields when creating your form and those will automatically create a post when a form is submitted. That is all there is to it as far as creating a Post. Create a new form, add a Post Title and Post Body field and any other Post fields from the Post Fields toolbox and your form will create a post when it is submitted based on the settings you set in the Post Fields you add to your form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-submission-with-notification-after-moderation#post-23289 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 13:43:22 +0000 FanaticWeb 23289@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I for one will support and vote for this approach, user content posts are one great way to keep a blog alive and kicking, mingled with a feedback and rating system, it would be fabulous.</p> <p>One suggestion, instead of having to rely on Programmers playing around with the code, seeing how such features can be in high demand, would it not be wiser to simply implement them in the next releases with a user friendly enviroment? I'm not a programmer either, yes I can hire one but that beats the purpose of buying a pre-built premium plugin such as GF.</p> <p>Meanwhile, is there a video tutorial or any threads that demonstrate the steps to build a form that allow end users to post to the blog?<br /> If not, can you please build one? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-submission-with-notification-after-moderation#post-22646 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 14:35:04 +0000 Coach 22646@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll definitely add my vote for this feature - I intend using GF for user generated content submissions mostly rather than contact forms and having the ability to easily moderate and notify users upon post approval would be supremely handy!</p> <p>Thanks :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-submission-with-notification-after-moderation#post-17536 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 11:12:45 +0000 Mobe 17536@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi David,<br /> thanks for the follow up. The multi form feature is realy awesome! I will wait for the 1.5 final release, hoping to see the post approval notification with it. I will definitly go with grafity forms once this feature comes with a release! The multi form feature already attracs me, but I indeed need a more extensiv content moderation :) </p> <p>Crossing fingers there will be better content moderation with notifications soon :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-submission-with-notification-after-moderation#post-17478 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 12:12:07 +0000 David Smith 17478@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Mobe, multi page forms are available in 1.5 which is currently at version RC3.12. This version is considered stable if you'd like to give it a go. :) </p>
