Any support for users front end forms creation?

    I have a buddy press site where users manage their own activities and events. Some of these events requires participants to register for the event and have specific information fields for the individual event.

    Is there anyway for Gravity Forms to support allowing users to create their own forms for others to submit registration entries and restrict the access to these form entries and posts to the author of the form?

    The way I vision it was to have

    • a page where the event organiser can create their form for a event
    • a page where the form is displayed for other users to submit (and possibly edit) their entry
    • a page where the event organiser can view the entries for the form and export the list

    There currently isn't any way to allow event organizers to create their own custom form. And the way that forms and entries are managed within Gravity Forms, it doesn't allow per logged in user control. It would require an advanced level of customization to do the things you want, and I still don't think it would be able to meet all your needs in terms of front end form building.

    Most of the functionality seems to be there. I was thinking on a combination of gravity forms + custom post type + post update addins.

    The access control would be applied to the custom posts created rather than the raw entries. If the users need to update their submissions, then they would be editing the custom post created using the update form plugin.

    Buddypress has some plugins to allow finer granularity of permissions so access to the custom post entries could be restricted via group or owner permissions.

    The only problem I have is allowing the users to create their own forms without granting too much permissions. Would it be a lot of work to encapsulate the form creation page into a shortcode?

  4. That's a customization beyond the support we can provide here. Sounds like an interesting application and we'd like to see it if you make some progress.
