    Im interested in purchasing the Developer license for my Multisite mainly for when a new site is created and the user logs in for the first time.

    I have various plugins running which need all sorts of confusing settings entered. I have setup a majority of them myself in a template site, but still rely on users to enter the correct info in the correct place.

    I would like to use this app to create a form asking users to fill out vital information about the site they've just created.

    For example:

    Hi New User,
    Please fill out the setup form.

    Paypal Email Address: <enter their email, populates "Marketpress" settings in db>
    Order Comfirmation Email: <enter their email, populates "Marketpress" settings in db>
    Select Timezone: <sets the sites timezone>
    Select Header Image: <upload image field, populates the theme's header image settings>
    etc

    Submit <upon submit all settings in all plugins are set>

    Is this possible with GF?

    It is possible, but it would require extensive customization to hook into those other settings and plugins. You would have to be a pretty high level PHP developer to get it to work. Out of the box though, Gravity Forms can't do this itself. It could collect the information, but not make the changes to WordPress itself.

    I might just write my own plugin in that case.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I am not going to dissuade you from writing your own plugin, but if you have the skills to do that, then editing Gravity Forms might be something you would want to try. It has hooks, and built-in form/field validation and as such it might give you a head start.
