That way only logged in users will be able to see the form, and you can capture all their user information.

How is this done? </p> <p>I also wonder if I can pull user meta data in entries. The event managers want to see the first- and lastname of the users, rather than username.</p> <p>Can we do calculations on the entries? I.e.

There is no provision to let a user go back and edit their entry. You could probably do it as a customization, pulling up entries a logged in user has made, let them select the one they want to edit, then retrieve the values they submitted and pre-fill the form with them. They can change whatever needs to be changed, then you could update the existing entry and delete the new entry which would be recorded for the edit. It's not built in, but it could be accomplished with some programming.</p> <blockquote><p>- Some users might be banned from events altogether, this is noted in the user meta data.

You can use the gform_pre_render filter to prevent a user from seeing a form. You could apply a gform_pre_render filter to all forms (or just select forms) to always check the logged in user's meta to see if they are blocked from events, and if so, not show the form and show alternate content. Or, you could do this before Gravity Forms is involved by protecting the page where the form exists, or wrapping the Gravity Forms shortcode in some sort of shortcode or function to check the user meta and see if they are banned from events and thus should not see the form.</p> <p>Let us know if you have any more questions. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gf-for-event-organizing#post-126999 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 21:15:37 +0000 gabbsmo 126999@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm developing a site for a non-profit that I'm a member of.</p> <p>We hold regular events, such as dinners and lectures. Often these have limited seats and we need a system to keep track of registered attendants. And since one event is not like the other we need to be able to adapt the registration forms with appropriate questions. Hence, we are considering a form plugin, rather than a event management plugin.</p> <p>Other than the form building itself we have some requirements:</p> <p>- We need to put the form on a post (type) along with a description text and other fields.<br /> - Only logged in users can submit an entry and only once in the form's lifetime.<br /> - For events with limited seats we need to limit the total number of entries.<br /> - Easy duplication of previous forms for similar events, templates maybe?<br /> - The form must have a opening and closing date.<br /> - The user should be able to edit it's entry while the form is still open.<br /> - Some users might be banned from events altogether, this is noted in the user meta data. Can we hook into pre rendering of the form and display a error for those users? We have experience in WP development.</p> <p>/Gabriel </p>
