Event Espresso, Gravity Forms, WordPress Custom Fields Plugin

I have used these three plugins to set up a volunteer registration for signing up for events.

1. Installed all 3 plugins.
2. Set up a form in Gravity Forms.
3. Set up all the Custom Fields in Tribulant's Plugin to match the fields I put in Gravity Forms to get Meta Keys, except for the Event Espresso fields.
4. Set up the User Registration with the Custom Meta Keys that matched all the keys for the Custom Fields as well as the Event Espresso Meta Keys (event_espresso_address, event_espresso_city, event_espresso_state, event_espresso_zip, event_espresso_phone) and mappted them to the form I created in Gravity Forms.
5. This allowed all the content submitted in the form to be added to the User's profile and the event extra fields were also updated allowing for easy Member Event Registration.

Do you have a link to your form?

A more documented tutorial on this would be fantastic.

Especially: "3. Set up all the Custom Fields in Tribulant's Plugin to match the fields I put in Gravity Forms to get Meta Keys, except for the Event Espresso fields."

Does that mean you matched the form field ids and/or names according to the Gravity automatic naming convention or according to the names that you assigned the fields?

A quick walk-through of this with samples would help many of us!

Cheers!

I was wondering if the Tribulant was still being used on the volunteer form. It's not clear which fields are using Tribulant custom fields.

Hi GZA,

Any plugin that adds additional functionality to WP custom fields should work with the User Registration add-on. It is simply a matter of mapping the custom field names to the form fields via the User Registration add-on.

Let's say you use Plugin X to add a new custom field named "user_city". On the User Registration feed, under the "User Meta" section, click on the first drop down and selected the "Add Custom" option: http://grab.by/c7SE

This will allow you to enter the custom field name you registered with Plugin X. In our example, we'd enter "user_city" as the custom field name and then select which Gravity Form field should be mapped to this custom field via the adjacent drop down.

You can map any custom field via this method.
