It doesn't seem to be populating the comment_post_ID field. The comment gets created without being attached to a post and then can't be managed (approve/spam/delete) from the dashboard. </p> <p>I ended up hard coding the post ID, since I know the page the form is coming from, not sure why it wasn't working. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/replace-standard-comment-form-with-a-gravity-form#post-51710 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 01:32:09 +0000 jb510 51710@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>On one page I basically want to collect some personal info at the same time a comment is generated, was wondering if that was even possible but it looks like it is. </p> <p>I'm going to give it a try wih this plus a few more fields that just need to get emailed to someone like a normal form submission. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/replace-standard-comment-form-with-a-gravity-form#post-48179 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:17:01 +0000 trewknowledge 48179@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I was able to add form submissions and turn them into comments by using the following code. In your theme you would have to replace the comment form by adding your gravity form in single.php. There are many posts on here on how to add a form to a template page.</p> <pre><code>add_action(&quot;gform_after_submission_1&quot;, &quot;add_comment&quot;); //change form ID to match your form function add_comment($entry, $form){ $time = current_time(&#39;mysql&#39;); $data = array( &#39;comment_post_ID&#39; =&gt; $entry[&quot;post_id&quot;] , &#39;comment_author&#39; =&gt; $entry[17], //change to match your author field ID &#39;comment_author_email&#39; =&gt; $entry[18], //change to match your email field ID &#39;comment_content&#39; =&gt; $entry[32], //change to match your comment field ID &#39;comment_type&#39; =&gt; &#39;&#39;, &#39;comment_parent&#39; =&gt; 0, &#39;user_id&#39; =&gt; $entry[&quot;created_by&quot;], &#39;comment_author_IP&#39; =&gt; $entry[&quot;ip&quot;] , &#39;comment_agent&#39; =&gt; &#39;&#39;, &#39;comment_date&#39; =&gt; $time, &#39;comment_approved&#39; =&gt; 1, ); wp_insert_comment($data); }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/replace-standard-comment-form-with-a-gravity-form#post-48132 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:24:35 +0000 pbateman 48132@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it possible to replace the standard comment form on single blog posts in WP with a gravity form?</p> <p>If so: how would I do this?</p> <p>Main reason why I ask is that the standard comment form takes you to an error page. I really like how gravity forms handles errors though.</p> <p>Additional question:<br /> If a gravity form is in the bottom of a website and someone forgets to put something in a required field then it automatically scrolls back up to the top of the page. So if that person does not scroll down it won't see that sending the form has not worked.</p> <p>Florian </p>
