I have a project I'm helping out with, where we want to allow visitors to upload content after they have filled out consent form. It's important that the consent form information be retained and not merely have the successful completion and accepting of the consent form be a gateway to the upload page. The data must be retained.
Is this something I could do with your product?
Thanks
Greg
Greg, It sounds like you might need to use the User Registration Add-On we have for this. So two forms, first would be the registration (consent) that creates the user and then the second form would be the upload page. Does that sound right?
Rob,
Thanks for the reply!
Let me see if I correctly understand what you're saying. When the user first registers on the site they would see and have to agree to the consent form and that would give them access to the upload page. In that scenario once the user has consented once, then they would have unlimited access to the upload page, without seeing the consent form and having to agree for all of their future visits. To understand that correct?
If the details of what you propose are as I wrote above that would not work for me.
Sorry if I wasn't specific enough before but let me give it another shot now. What I need is something that the user would have to consent to each time they want to upload content. The consent form on which they would have to agree would need fillable fields into which the user would enter pertinent personal information, as well as specific details about the content they are uploading. The idea is we need to grab a consent form for each upload.
So what I'm envisioning is a page that the user would be taken to when they click on the link on the site to upload content and that page would be one of your forms done up as the consent form which when completed would get saved on site and also e-mailed to the manager of the project each time an upload is performed. The successful completion of the consent form would take the user to the page where they can actually perform the upload.
Does this sound doable?
Thanks!
Greg
Greg, can you explain why you can't have the upload field along with the personal consent information on the same form? You can make the personal consent fields required. This way everything is in one place and tied to each other.
Rob,
That would be prefect! I was thinking having it all on one form was too much to dream for!
What kind of output would I get from the form? It would go into the plugin's database? Is there an option for having the completed form emailed automatically?
Thanks for your help!
Greg
Yes, entries are recorded and uploads stored. You can also have notification emails sent to both users and admins of the form/site.
Rob or anyone,
Is what I'm wanting to do, which is have a consent form which would contain the personal data of the person submitting digital content, along with the controls for uploading the content on one page, something that's easy to do with your product out-of-the-box or is it going to take much coding?
Thanks!
Greg
It won't require any code at all. This is all built in to Gravity Forms. The entries from all form submissions are stored for future reference.
