Just came across this post, as I am trying to find out how to add the ability to update a custom post type as you described above. If you would not mind sharing some code, I would be very grateful! Also how to display the info that is in the post already in the editing form, etc....</p> <p>Updating the profile I found a tutorial for just a few minutes back, but again, if you want to share some code, then please do.<br /> Thanks!</p> <p>BTW: updating images would be awsome </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/updating-posts-featured-image-front-end-editing-of-custom-post-type#post-44220 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 02:51:55 +0000 David Odin Kether 44220@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm attempting to create a Graduates directory for a yoga college with Gravity Forms that essentially creates a "Graduates" custom post type (a personal profile essentially). This is behind a membership wall and embedded within a normal wordpress page. I have been able to get everything working for reading values from the database so that they can update their profile whenever they want. I have even got their "updates" to update their respective Graduates custom post type. The only issue I can't seem to get sorted is updating the "featured image" (serving as their profile image). It will upload properly the first time using the Featured Image post field, but I can't seem to find a way to update their profile image. </p> <p>I have attached my code, with many more details, here: <a href="http://pastie.org/3024987" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/3024987</a></p> <p>Essentially, media_handle_sideload doesn't seem like it is functioning for me as it is detailed in documentation and the StackExchange post I mention in the pastie code (at least as I understand it). I've been banging my head against this all day and I'm not really sure what to do with it. </p> <p>If you very talented folks have any ideas as to<br /> a) why media_handle_sideload isn't working for me like it should or<br /> b) a better/more efficient way to do this with Gravity Forms<br /> I would be very, very grateful. </p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br /> Dave </p>
