    Hello

    [I searched the forum and tried the demo]

    I'm trying to check if Gravityforms (plus possibly the User Registration Add-On) can do the following:

    1. Allow us to capture additional fields when users regisiter on the site ( about 15 questions)?

    2. Export the user data including these extra fields to a CSV or Excel file?

    3. After login - on a second 'request' form - prepopulate some fields from the user registration data stored already. These could be visible or hidden.

    4. On the second form, is it possible to show or hide a question based on the user registration data. For example - if stored user favourite colour is 'red', display question 'what shade of red'.

    5. How easy is it to add custom validation for patterns or types (beyond that in advanced field types) - eg "must be numeric plus spaces" for telephone numbers.

    Thanks

    1) Yes, you can capture additional information when a user registers.

    2) You can export form entry data to a CSV file.

    3) If you want to populate fields using user data stored in user meta, you can set the default value equal to a merge tag that will display user meta based on the user meta key. The data would have to be stored in user meta to do this.

    4) It may be possible using conditional logic, but you may have to do some custom code to implement something like this.

    5) You would have to use the gform_validation hook to write your own custom validation. So how easy? You'd have to know code and REGEX to write code to validate against your custom pattern.

    Thanks very much for the quick reply - looks promising. A follow-up if I may:

    2) You can export form entry data to a CSV file.

    So we can export form data generally.
    Can we also export user data captured at registration?

    3) ...The data would have to be stored in user meta to do this.

    Does the Gravityforms with User Registration Add-On store captured data in user meta in normal use?
