It works like a charm. </p> <p>Here is the script I used:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_post_data&quot;, &quot;change_post_status&quot;, 10, 3); function change_post_status($post_data, $form, $entry){ //only change post status on form id 1 if($form[&quot;id&quot;] != 1) return $post_data; // Get payment selection choice $pay_type = $entry[&quot;37&quot;]; if ($pay_type == &quot;Check&quot;) $post_data[&quot;post_status&quot;] = &quot;draft&quot;; if ($pay_type == &quot;Card&quot;) $post_data[&quot;post_status&quot;] = &quot;publish&quot;; return $post_data; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-post-status-and-user-registration-based-on-value-of-a-drop-down-field#post-85809 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:20:15 +0000 bdunn@atn.org 85809@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Maybe I am trying to do too much with one form. I am using GF with PayPal Pro, MailChimp, and User Registration, </p> <p>I have a membership registration form that will create a new "Member record" (custom post type), register the user, sign them up on MailChimp list. I have a drop down field to select to pay either by check (I attach an invoice to the notification email) or to pay via credit/debit card (using PayPal pro) if they select the option, process the dues payment via PayPal Payments Pro.</p> <p>Here is where I am stuck. I want to create the post as a draft, create a user guest role account and sign them up for the if they select to pay by check. If they select and successfully pay via PayPal payments Pro, I would like the post to be created as published, and the user to be set up as an editor role. </p> <p>I am thinking perhaps I need a pre-submission hook based on payment type field. Or would it require different feeds, or both? </p>
