So there is nothing you can call that will return a URL to the plugin zip file so that it can be installed.</p> <p>What you could do, however, is handle this yourself. Create your own solution and maintain a copy of the latest version of Gravity Forms wherever you do so. Make your own installer that you can use the way you described. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/including-gf-in-a-custom-wp-contentinstallphp#post-52911 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:34:12 +0000 Idealien 52911@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><a href="http://wpkgr.com/" rel="nofollow">http://wpkgr.com/</a> provides a way to select commonly used plugins and themes to be automagically downloaded and activated during install provided they are hosted on the WP.org repository. This <a href="http://wpbits.wordpress.com/2007/08/10/automating-wordpress-customizations-the-installphp-way/" rel="nofollow">WPBits post</a> outlines how to make your own defaults (posts, pages, options, etc) using the same /wp-content/install.php file to add to or replace the Hello World features with commonly used categories, pages, etc.</p> <p>Wondering if anyone else has done anything similar to this and GF.</p> <p>The following potential hazards come to mind as I'm about to start trying to build a custom install script that will allow me to deploy the "standard configuration" stuff I do for a site rather than having to click through many steps in the admin console to get to the preferred baseline state (default landing page, permalinks structure, etc).</p> <ol> <li>How to have the install.php connect to the GF repository</li> <li>How to do so without storing my license key in the code. /wp-admin/install.php calls a function display_setup_form that doesn't have an action or filter tied to it, but would be the best case scenario to include a text field on the install screen to populate license key. Adding a constant which I remove before deployment might be the next best solution.</li> <li>Assuming #2 can be solved as a install screen customization without core mod, how the affiliate program might work if this were something I shared for others to use to sign-up for their own GF prior to registration. Sort of a "click here to buy it and then paste in your license key and the install will do the rest" type of thing</li> </ol> <p>Thanks,<br /> Jamie </p>
