Front-End Integraton With iThemes Builder Block Events

    I am using Gravity Forms with iThemes Builder and iThemes Builder Block Events. I am new to both, and have been very impressed with both Gravity Forms and iThemes Builder.

    It would be so helpful for website users to be able to add events to the events calendar using a Gravity Form. Most of the functionality is already there, since iThemes Builder Block Events is a custom post type. I can create a form and enter the Event Title (post title) and Event Description (post body).

    Are there any plans to do a full integration, which would allow the website user, using a Gravity Form, to enter the event start date and end date, select from a drop-down list of existing venues, or add a new venue, or check a box to postpone or cancel the event?

  2. There is no specific integration planned between iThemes and Gravity Forms, that I am aware of. However, I think this can mostly be accomplished using the hooks which are built in to Gravity Forms. You would use the gform_pre_render hook to populate the drop down of existing venues or offer the choice to add a new venue. The start and end dates can be handled with custom fields. I think you could accomplish this with some PHP to glue it all together.
