With the help of the automatic login on registration thread I've found a solution I'm happy with.<br /> JW </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/register-user-and-populate-custom-field#post-61669 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:04:43 +0000 David Peralty 61669@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>jb510, making a seamless 2 form system for registration and then post submission is probably the best way to do this as jwmv mentioned.</p> <p>I will have the developers look at this thread, but I think they'll agree. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/register-user-and-populate-custom-field#post-61667 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:52:55 +0000 jwmv 61667@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>In nearly the exact same scenario as above - user-registration with custom post type plug-in - I'm having some trouble. </p> <p>I created the form so that it populates custom fields of a custom post type and everything works properly, but when I add the User-Registration functionality to turn the person submitting the form into the post author the registration works fine but prevents the custom fields from populating in the post. </p> <p>So I'm getting one or the other... </p> <p>I used Custompress by WPMU to create the custom fields, taxonomies, post type etc. </p> <p>I think I can work around it by creating two forms 1) Registration 2) Post Submission form, but would rather have a clean, simple front-end experience for users. Any ideas on what might be going wrong?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> JW </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/register-user-and-populate-custom-field#post-51373 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 20:59:55 +0000 jb510 51373@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think I figured this out.... I was thinking about it wrong. I just need to collect name/email using standard fields and feed those into a user profile via user registration. Then in the same form collect the rest of the info I want for the custom post type and I can even feed some of those fields back into User Meta for the user profile.</p> <p>GF Rocks... too often I think "hmm... I bet it can't do that...." only to discover it can. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/register-user-and-populate-custom-field#post-51367 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 20:14:23 +0000 jb510 51367@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it possible to collect an email address and use it both for populating a custom post type custom field (contact email) and use it to create a user account at the same time? </p> <p>I'm using GF, User Registration Add-on and Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types. The form is a length one that creates a business listing (custom posttype) and I'd also like to create a user at the same time that owns that listing as a contributor/subscriber role. </p>
