Hi all,
I'm pretty sure this has been asked and answered, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't missing some sort of obvious solution.
I have created an online calculator for the construction industry. It's just a form with 8 fields and some Javascript and JQuery running in the background to do the calculations and update the results in real time. The results aren't anything exotic, just plain ol' alphanumeric characters.
I want to modify my calculator form so people can save multiple calculations to their own user profile on the site. Later, those same users should be able to log into the front -end of the site and see a list of their saved calculations. Each calculation could then be modified or deleted. This is all exactly the same as what people already do in WP when they create, save, edit, and delete their own posts.
I saw Kevin Miller's "Gravity Forms - Update Post" plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-update-post/) for allowing registered users to use Gravity Forms to edit post content which led me to think that maybe there's a way to MacGyver my form data to be saved as a post that users can then edit or delete later?
Of course, each user would have to be restricted to viewing only their own calculation data.
To achieve this goal with WP and GF would really make my day. If I could also integrate some sort of user subscription as well, I'd be over the moon!
Otherwise, I'm going to have to brush up on my app coding skills and make some sort of web application using a PHP or Ruby framework. <shudder> LOL.
Any and all advice, guidance, and / or criticism would be greatly appreciated. :)
