Custom Post Status

    Hi there!
    I have created a form to allow guest author contributions. We use the Edit Flow plugin for custom post statuses. The only 3 status options in the Post Status option of the "Article" field are Draft, Pending Review and Published. Is there a way to use a custom post status? In this case, it would be "Guest Draft".
    Thanks and cheers,
    Gil

    Hi Gil,

    You can set the post status of a post created by a Gravity Form using the gform_post_data hook. Here is an example:

    Hi David :-)

    Thanks so much! Where would I place that code? (its true .. I'm a newbie!)
    Cheers,
    Gil

    Sorry Gil, neglected to mention that this would go in your functions.php. One other thing to note, I'm not 100% sure what the backend value for your custom post status is; the "guest_draft" you see in the code was just a best guess.

    Thanks David!
    I will give it a try after I wake up a bit more and let you know how it went.
    I am going to upgrade to the developer license as well. Is there a "cost effective" (read discount coupon) I can use?
    Cheers,
    Gil

    If you send an upgrade request through the contact form on the site here:

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/contact-us/

    ...we will get an upgrade coupon processed for you as soon as possible, which might be just a hair longer than usual as several members of the team are currently traveling. :)
