Much appreciated. I've no problem placing the code in the right place if you tell me where it goes (I understand in the theme's functions.php file between the php tags) ; my problem is more knowing what the inserted code should be in the first place and where/how I insert the custom-field-calling code that I currently have in my single post template file, bearing in mind that it's replete with HTML as well. You can email me at richard dot best at insideoutlegal.co.nz if that helps.</p> <p>I really appreciate your help with this.

Much appreciated.</p> <p>Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but does that entail adding something to the functions.php file? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/question-on-post-forms#post-1797 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:37:55 +0000 Alex Cancado 1797@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Richard,<br /> I think what you need to do is actually populate the post body instead of leaving it blank. You can do that using the gform_post_data hook and apply the same conditions you are applying on the single post data. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/question-on-post-forms#post-1784 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:40:09 +0000 RichardBest 1784@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Alex</p> <p>I think, but am not quite sure, that this thread is getting pretty close to a GF-related need I have. Would really appreciate any comments you might have please. Let me explain.</p> <p>I'm using GF in conjunction with the Single Post Template plugin. Through the custom field trick you showed me, I'm using a specific post template for each form, and each form contains a significant number of post custom fields. I'm using this set-up in such a way that the outputted post is crafted entirely from the custom field inputs. There is no "post body" in the normal sense. The body is completely blank. How this works is that if, for example, someone selects "Yes" into a custom field question in the form, php code in the single post template file will output "this paragraph of text". Alternatively, if that person selects "No", then the php code will output an alternative paragraph of text. And so on, repeated many times for many different custom fields. All the paragraph text sits in the single post template file and is called, as appropriate, by conditional calls to the custom field data.</p> <p>The "issue" this creates is that when I try to use plugins like "WP-Print" or "Save as Text and HTML", my post content cannot be seen, because those plugins are looking for the "post body" (which in my case is blank). The same applies to the posts when they are listed on the home page and the RSS/Atom feeds, again because the content is not in the body but created on the fly by the 'custom field call code' in the single post template.</p> <p>So what I'm wondering is whether it's possible to add a function to the functions.php file, for example, to enable the content residing in the single post template to be treated as if it were body text, so that it displays when using the plugins I've mentioned and so that it displays on the homepage and in the feeds.</p> <p>I hope this makes sense. If you've time, I'd really appreciate your assistance with this. </p> <p>Many thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.</p> <p>Richard </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/question-on-post-forms#post-1675 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:05:48 +0000 Alex Cancado 1675@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It will happen for all forms that have post fields in them. We can limit for a specific form, but if your Contact Us form does not have any post fields, it won't affect it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/question-on-post-forms#post-1672 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:50:09 +0000 slee 1672@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>just one question, will this happen for all the forms on the site? i have a contact form as well </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/question-on-post-forms#post-1656 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:36:18 +0000 slee 1656@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>thanks alex it worked perfectly :) </p>
