Background is a small poll which should be filled out during the registration process while sending the information to the database, but not directly to the user meta.</p> <p>I cannot use the user registration functions of gravity forms because the registration process of the theme has to be used.</p> <p>I am using the newest gravity forms version (1.5.2.8)</p> <p>I thought about two ways but couldn't succeed for now:</p> <p>1) embedding the form via gravity_form() with ajax support, disabling the submit button, firing the event when registration button clicked</p> <p>what i did:</p> <p>in the template file:<br /> &lt;?php gravity_form(1, false, false, false, '', true) ?&gt;<br /> in functions.php:<br /> gravity_form_enqueue_scripts(1, true);</p> <p>But the ajax functionality seems to not work, any idea why? couldn't find a hint in the source code, because i used the same form via shortcode in a post and it worked with ajax. i looked through the html code of both pages and couldn't find missing js or anything...</p> <p>Anyways I also had another solution in mind:</p> <p>2) Building the Form fields of the poll in the registration form and submitting it, then in the postprocessing create a form object and submitting it invisible.</p> <p>Idea:</p> <p>$form = new Form (...form data from post values...)<br /> $form-&gt;submit();</p> <p>or</p> <p>gforms_submit_form(...form data from post values..);</p> <p>But i couldn't figure out how to make this work... is this possible? couldn' find a hint in the forum / docs.</p> <p>If not it would be a feature request to send Form submitions just via a function call without using an actual html form.</p> <p>thanks a lot for your help! </p>
