I've never tried it. If that's a concern, then you should keep your 2nd security check. I'm not sure exactly how to implement that after the post is created though. You could use the gform_pre_submission_filter to check the capabilities of the logged in user, and then decide to do something with the form submission if they user does not have the custom capability. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/display-form-create-post-draft-only-if-user-have-a-custom-capability#post-172127 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 06:17:13 +0000 dashaluna 172127@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello Chris,</p> <p>Thank you for your reply. That makes sense to display the form only for the users that have the capability.</p> <p>As for #2 question, I wasn't sure if it's possible somehow forge a form submission even if they can't see it. Could you please confirm. If it can't be done, then I don't need this extra security check.</p> <p>Many thanks, Dasha </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/display-form-create-post-draft-only-if-user-have-a-custom-capability#post-168215 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 21:48:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 168215@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>To display the form only for users with a certain capability, I would embed the function call in your page template, then use PHP and WordPress functions to show the form only if the capability 'create_story' is present. It would look something like this:</p> <pre><code>[php] if ( current_user_can(&#39;create_story&#39;) ) { // modify this function call for your needs // http:// bit.ly/W3u51L gravity_form(1, false, false, false, &#39;&#39;, false); } else { echo &quot;Sorry, you don&#39;t have permission to post.&quot;; }</code></pre> <p>If the form is only visible to people with that capability, I don't understand why #2 is necessary. It would not be possible to get to this point unless they did have the correct capability. Please explain more if I misunderstood something.</p> <p>You can have the default for the form to be to create a 'draft' post. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/display-form-create-post-draft-only-if-user-have-a-custom-capability#post-162148 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:56:27 +0000 dashaluna 162148@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I've got a custom WP role that have got a custom capability <code>create_story</code>. I know that in the advanced settings there is an option to display form only if a user logged in.</p> <p>How do I do the following:</p> <p>1. Display the form only if a user has got my custom capability?<br /> 2. After a form submitted, before creating a post draft how do I check if a user has got my custom capability?</p> <p>I'm sure these are possible, I would hugely appreciate if you could point me in the right directions with which hooks to use.</p> <p>Many thanks, Dasha</p> <p>WP: 3.5.1<br /> Gravity Forms: 1.6.12 </p>
