This solution assumes that you are using the file upload field. The code snippet I provided would go in your theme's functions.php file; it takes the file upload url and adds a custom field to the post that is created by the form submission. You do not need to actually create a custom field in the form itself. </p> <p>Let me know if you have any other questions. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/show-uploaded-file-link-with-a-post#post-8324 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 12:39:45 +0000 processdriven 8324@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks David.<br /> So you are suggesting I use a custom field rather than the file upload button? If so, how do I find the id number of the custom field? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/show-uploaded-file-link-with-a-post#post-8320 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 08:08:58 +0000 David Smith 8320@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Are you comfortable using page templates and custom fields? If so, your best bet will be to create a <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates" rel="nofollow">custom page template</a> that pulls a custom field using the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta" rel="nofollow">get_post_meta</a> function.</p> <p>This custom field could be named something like "file_url" and it would store the file url that was uploaded from your Gravity Forms form. To autopopulate this custom field when the form is submitted, something like this should do the trick: <a href="http://pastebin.com/UnFSjh3y" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/UnFSjh3y</a></p> <p><code>if($form[&#39;id&#39;] != 1) return;</code></p> <p>Make sure you update the "1" to the id of the form you are using.</p> <p><code>update_post_meta($entry[&quot;post_id&quot;], &#39;file_url&#39;, $entry[29]);</code></p> <p>Update the "29" to the id of the file upload field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/show-uploaded-file-link-with-a-post#post-8315 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 22:49:18 +0000 processdriven 8315@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using Gravity Forms as a way to allow members to make posts to the front end of the site. I have added a file upload field to allow them to upload files with the post. Is there a way to display the link to that file when the post is displayed on the site (approved)?</p> <p>I'm creating a project management site where I can interact with my clients and share files/information.</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Andrew </p>
