To avoid "empty" custom fields being created by forms that don't require it, modify Alex's code (posted above) to this:</p> <pre><code>add_action(&quot;gform_post_submission&quot;, &quot;add_post_custom_field&quot;);&lt;br /&gt; function add_post_custom_field($entry){&lt;br /&gt; if( !empty( $entry[2] ) ) {&lt;br /&gt; add_post_meta($entry[&quot;post_id&quot;], &quot;my_custom_field_name&quot;, $entry[2]);&lt;br /&gt; }&lt;br /&gt; }</code></pre> <p>Obviously, change the $entry id with the actual $entry filed id. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/image-field-as-post-field-is-limiting#post-1648 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:50:09 +0000 David Peralty 1648@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That worked perfectly. :) Thanks again! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/image-field-as-post-field-is-limiting#post-1477 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:15:46 +0000 Alex Cancado 1477@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Dave,<br /> The following code will add a custom field to the post that was just created with the URL of a file uploaded from a file upload field. Add it to your template's function.php file.</p> <p><code><br /> add_action("gform_post_submission", "add_post_custom_field");<br /> function add_post_custom_field($entry){<br /> add_post_meta($entry["post_id"], "my_custom_field_name", $entry[2]);<br /> }<br /> </code></p> <p>Note that you will have to replace "2" (in $entry[2]) with your file upload field id.<br /> You can get the id by inspecting the HTML of the file upload field. It's name will be in the following format "input_ID" (i.e. input_2).<br /> Let me know how it goes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/image-field-as-post-field-is-limiting#post-1463 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:26:23 +0000 Alex Cancado 1463@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would use the post submission action to edit the post (adding a new custom field) based on the file upload field. At that point, the entry is created and the URL for the file upload is known. I will come up with a code snippet for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/image-field-as-post-field-is-limiting#post-1459 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:13:48 +0000 David Peralty 1459@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>How would they "know" the URL? I'd love to get this to work so any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I figured images/files would have been handled the same. :$ Is there any way that I can link the file upload to the post then? Maybe pushing the URL through a custom field or something? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/image-field-as-post-field-is-limiting#post-1443 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:17:35 +0000 Carl Hancock 1443@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't think there is anyway to do this right now. The field is pretty specific as to how it processes the file that is uploaded, and non-images would have to be processed different than images. We would have to make changes to the plugin and add a file upload (non-images) to the post fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/image-field-as-post-field-is-limiting#post-1416 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:37:46 +0000 David Peralty 1416@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there an easy way to get the Image Field that is associated with posts to be just an Upload Field? I want people to upload documents and have them associated with posts. </p>
