The custom field keys that appear in the drop down of available custom fields is based on existing data. So if your form has created a post using that custom field key, it would then also appear in the list of custom fields in the post editor. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/create-custom-post-type-from-gravity-form#post-21408 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 17:22:58 +0000 deukdesign 21408@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>sorry but I am a bit dense<br /> so if I create a new form<br /> and on the form I select "save as custom post type" and select "post"<br /> I then create a custom field, field type Website<br /> with "custom Field Name" "new " -- GFwebsite<br /> So if I then go to add new post in the standrad admin interface in the dropdown for csutom fields I would find GFwebsite? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/create-custom-post-type-from-gravity-form#post-21340 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 12:22:52 +0000 Carl Hancock 21340@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You shouldn't have to create it once on your form and once in a post. There is an option when adding a Custom Field to your form to either select an existing one, or add a new one. If you add a new one you give it a name, which is the custom field key used to create the post meta. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/create-custom-post-type-from-gravity-form#post-21324 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 11:54:42 +0000 deukdesign 21324@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes I know but that does not solve the problem that I have to create every custom field twice, once on my post, and once on my form, granted the plugin allows to pulldown the custom field name from a dropdown, which prevents a lot of typing mistakes.</p> <p>But it does nothing in the neighborhood of my suggestion, to create a custom type with its fields and taxonomies directly from a GF form, which would speed up everything. </p> <p>Is that possible? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/create-custom-post-type-from-gravity-form#post-21319 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 11:51:09 +0000 Carl Hancock 21319@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There is a free Add-On in the WordPress.org plugin repository called Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types that lets you create a custom post with Gravity Forms. You select the Custom Post Type when editing your Post Title or Post Body field and your Custom Taxonomy on the taxonomy fields. Check it out in the WordPress.org plugin repository. It's a 3rd party add-on created by a Gravity Forms user. It works best with Gravity Forms v1.5. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/create-custom-post-type-from-gravity-form#post-21283 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 05:47:07 +0000 deukdesign 21283@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am confused. </p> <p>I can easily create my wanted form on GF. Absolutely piece of cake, very nice plugin indeed!</p> <p>But then I want to be able to publish the user inputted form value as a post.<br /> step 1<br /> In that case I would have to first create a custom post type, its taxonomies and custom fields (using another WPplugin), and then map all these fields to my form, correct? Basically doing the same work twice!<br /> step2<br /> Then I create a custom template for this post type in order to show all the normal post and custom fields</p> <p>Would it be difficult to have the possibility to create my form in GF, and then generate a custom post type based on that form automatically. It creates the admin menu, the custom fields and taxonomies etcetera. Then I just have to create the template and magic a whole new custom post class!</p> <p>Any suggestions for this?</p> <p>This would be killer! It would make GF into the absolute main creation tool for custom post types and forms.</p> <p>Gideon </p>
