I remember a few forum posts about auto completion. So get your post ID for CPT1, then for CPT2 and connect after submission with a post 2 post function. Obviously you have to do the leg work to auto-complete the post name... I guess best thing is to look at the post 2 post code and then adapt it or look in the GF forum again or ask the GF guys outright how to achieve auto completion.... Good luck!

The way that Posts 2 Posts works though, is it lets you start typing a Post and it will auto-complete, retrieving data from the database via AJAX. I can't pre-populate everything together for Posts 2 Posts to work, as far as I know. sascha on "Integrating Posts 2 Posts" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/integrating-posts-2-posts#post-69821 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 04:11:58 +0000 sascha 69821@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I think the admin boxes of post 2 post are just meant for the admin screen in WP. Not sure if they would work in the front end? I would set up my form, so that I have a drop down that populates with the choices for the CPT2 and then use the gf_after_submission hook to connect the two posts (the just created one and the one chosen from the drop down). You can use a posts2posts function to make that connection, just look in the source or documentation. My licence on GF runs out tonight, so is likely that I'll not be able to check your answer! Hope you get there.

I'm trying to add a custom admin box to an input field. This is the example code they provide to build your own admin box. Any direction how I would go about implementing this into the code beneath it? <pre><code>add_action( 'init', 'init_my_connection_type', 100 ); add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'register_my_meta_box' ); function init_my_connection_type() { p2p_register_connection_type( array( 'name' => 'posts_to_pages', 'from' => 'post', 'to' => 'page', 'admin_box' => false ) ); } function register_my_meta_box() { add_meta_box( 'my-box', 'My Connected Pages', 'render_my_meta_box', 'post' ); } function render_my_meta_box( $post ) { echo 'This is my box.'; $ctype = p2p_type( 'posts_to_pages' )->get_connected( $post ); ?> <ul> <?php while ( $connected->have_posts() ) : $connected->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul> <?php }</code></pre> and.. <pre><code>add_action( "gform_field_input" , "wps_tos_field_input", 10, 5 ); function wps_tos_field_input ( $input, $field, $value, $lead_id, $form_id ){ if ( $field["type"] == "c_cpt" ) { $max_chars = ""; if(!IS_ADMIN && !empty($field["maxLength"]) && is_numeric($field["maxLength"])) $max_chars = self::get_counter_script($form_id, $field_id, $field["maxLength"]); $input_name = $form_id .'_' . $field["id"]; $tabindex = GFCommon::get_tabindex(); $css = isset( $field['cssClass'] ) ? $field['cssClass'] : ''; return sprintf("<div class='ginput_container'><textarea readonly name='input_%s' id='%s' class='textarea gform_tos %s' $tabindex rows='10' cols='50'>%s</textarea></div>{$max_chars}", $field["id"], 'ccpt-'.$field['id'] , $field["type"] . ' ' . esc_attr( $css ) . ' ' . $field['size'] , esc_html($value)); } return $input; }</code></pre> Jonathan Dingman on "Integrating Posts 2 Posts" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/integrating-posts-2-posts#post-69762 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:35:31 +0000 Jonathan Dingman 69762@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Actually nevermind, think I found one that will work. <a href="http://wpsmith.net/2011/plugins/how-to-create-a-custom-form-field-in-gravity-forms-with-a-terms-of-service-form-field-example/" rel="nofollow">http://wpsmith.net/2011/plugins/how-to-create-a-custom-form-field-in-gravity-forms-with-a-terms-of-service-form-field-example/</a> Jonathan Dingman on "Integrating Posts 2 Posts" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/integrating-posts-2-posts#post-69761 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:34:02 +0000 Jonathan Dingman 69761@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I tried the latter as well, gform_field_input and as you described, it's not very flexible. I couldn't get it to work. I'm a little surprised there's so little documentation around creating a basic custom field..having a heck of a time trying to find a basic example that is straight forward to follow. Any other docs you can point me to that are a little more thorough, but still basic enough to follow?

Having a bit of an off day. Here is the documentation that I think you need to create a field in a form: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_content" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_content</a> Jonathan Dingman on "Integrating Posts 2 Posts" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/integrating-posts-2-posts#post-69751 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:06:45 +0000 Jonathan Dingman 69751@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I've tried following those docs and they weren't very helpful. It only let me add a settings for all existing Fields, not let me add my own. Maybe I'm missing something though. I copied that code verbatim to my functions.php, but it didn't create a new field.
