GF custom write panels

I have mentioned this before but I would like to put this in as an official request. I would absolutely love it if you could set up GF to allow the forms to be custom write panels for posts and pages like Flutter. There are a few other plugins that let you do this as well but all are a bit well clunky where as GF feels right all the time.

The idea that we could then create the form using your GUI and then select it to be for a category of posts or for a page would be brilliant. In fact i would be that happy i would pay for it as an add on.

what do you think?

You can already use GF for this purpose (albeit for posts, not pages). The main difference between using it, and the likes of Flutter, is that the "custom write panels" - or different forms for different categories - are accessed on the site's front-end rather than through the arguably less-basic-user-friendly admin backend/dashboard. If you use GF in conjunction with the likes of Justin Tadlock's Members plugin, or Wishlist's membership plugin, you can restrict access to the different forms to different categories of users.

All this is just one reason why GF is so damn good. With the exception of a couple of features which are, in any event, in the pipeline, it blitzes the competition (IMHO).

Keep up the great work I say.

I guess it depends on what your users are accustomed to. If they already use the backend for posting, then yep I see where you're coming from. By contrast, if they're not familiar with WordPress, then posting from the front end can - in some cases at least - be easier. Ultimately, I agree that the flexibility you're after would be great, as Flutter was a great idea but is buggy and, in comparison to GF, unwieldy.
