Converting File Upload to Post Attachment during post-processing

    I'm looking to get all the benefits of having post attachments (thumbnails, image resizing, etc..) for images uploaded to a GF (complex use case alert). I'll post my progress here, if anyone has done this before feel free to save me from going through the "figuring it out" phase ;)

    On further inspection, it appears there's another field type I glossed over for Post Image. However, if I end up going forward with this code, it would convert the file uploads (regardless of file type) over to an attachment.

    So that ended up fitting my needs perfectly. Only problem is that by adding a Post Image field, upon submission - a ghost post is created called "Untitled X", with "X" being a number. To resolve this, I simply added this code to my post-processing function.

    if (0 < $entry['post_id'])
    wp_delete_post($entry['post_id'], true);

    That code will drop the post, BUT leave the attachments, which was all I needed to have anyway.

    Would you mid being more explicit into exactly how did you implement the "post-processing function"? Would that code be called by gform_after_submission filter?

    Also, when creating the new attachment post, how would I know it's ID to change it's parent?
