I've been reading up on it and know that's what I need, just not sure about the "how." Also, how do I check priority support messages? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/needing-to-attach-unique-post-id-to-uploaded-image-and-add-to-media-library#post-282068 Tue, 28 May 2013 00:51:35 +0000 Chris Hajer 282068@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>In addition to this topic, I replied to the priority support request which was submitted.

I want to hack this plugin and make it work with a Gform hook or something or else make Gforms add the uploaded image automatically to the Media Library upon form submission, so that I can just use the other plugin's shortcode data to take over from there as Gravity Forms assigns a post id to that newly added Media attachment. What's the best way to go about this? </p>
