You can use ANY field on a form that creates a post. However, only the Post Fields generate Post data. You can capture additional data, not just the information for the Post, using the form. </p> <p>Using the content template features of some of the Post Fields you can then include the value of non-Post Fields within the value of a Post Field. So you can use any field type on a form that creates a Post.

Everything clear now.</p> <p>Just one more thing, before installing the plugin in the final WP installation, I want to do some testing in another WP installation with another domain.</p> <p>Can this be done while the plugin is used only in one site? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/some-doubts-before-buying#post-29683 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:22:05 +0000 Carl Hancock 29683@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>1) Yes, Gravity Forms can be used to create forms that are accessible on the front end of your site that create posts. </p> <p>2) Gravity Forms itself does not do access control. So this is possible, but you'd have to use a plugin like the Members plugin to control access to the page containing the form so that only logged in users can access that page. The Members plugin can be found here:</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/</a></p> <p>We do plan on adding a feature to a future release that will make it so you can set a form so only logged in users can view it, and it will show a message to users that aren't logged in. So it will be a native feature eventually, for now it can only be done by using an access control plugin like the Members plugin.</p> <p>3) Yes, you can configure the form so that the Post that is created is set as a Draft. Then an administrator would have to approve and publish the Post for it to go live. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/some-doubts-before-buying#post-29669 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:20:40 +0000 silverado 29669@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello, I'm considering buying your plugin for a new WP project. But first I would like to ask you a couple of things.</p> <p>1. I want to create a form so users of my site can post from the front-end without having to log into the back-end. Can I do it with your plugin?<br /> 2. Could I configure it so users should first register before posting?<br /> 3. Could posts wait for administrator moderation before they are posted?</p> <p>Thanks in advance </p>
