Integration with Wordpress Users

  1. For sites with a large number of users, it'd be great to be able to associate a form submission with the user who submitted it, and even auto-fill profile data where possible.

    Taking that even further, I'd love to use this as a substitute for the stock Wordpress reg form and save collected data in user_meta.

  2. +1 on using GF to either enhance or replace the stock WP reg form.

    +1 - I'd love to be able to get user avatars (not gravatars), bio info, url, twitter, and more and do it in a nice, easy to look at way right from reg, rather than having them change the info later on within WP and using other plugins to handle such things.

    I would also like to place a vote for this feature.

  6. I'll second this motion!

    At the very least attach user ID, especially when they post with these forms.

  7. Ditto with the above! :)

    I'd really like to use Gravity Forms as a replacement for user registration because it is easy to customize the look and feel, and I can now pass query strings from other forms. So they could submit something and then I could redirect them to another page, with some of their details already filled out asking them if they'd like to sign up for a membership as well.

    Now this would be an awesome use of gravity forms. Is this possible yet?

    Posted 14 years ago on Wednesday December 9, 2009 | Permalink
  12. User registration is not currently possible. It is something we plan on adding in the future as either part of the core or as an add-on plugin.

    And ability for the users to modify their former submitted data.

  14. Just tossing my vote in for sure!

    +1 for user registration with gravity forms.. and that it could integrate with post submissions as well (ie, user submits post, and gets user name at the same time).

    Posted 14 years ago on Friday June 25, 2010 | Permalink
  18. It's not hard to do actually. Just add a post_submission function that uses the form entry id. All you need to know is the ID of the form you're using and the IDs of the fields you want to work with.

    function create_wp_user($entry, $form){
    if($form["id"] != 1)
            return;
    
    global $wpdb;
    $id = $entry['id'];
    //get the info. for the last form entry
    $migrate = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT field_number, value FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."rg_lead_detail WHERE lead_id = $id ORDER BY field_number",'ARRAY_A');
    
    //get the number of fields so we can loop through and process them
    $count = count($migrate);
    $input = array();
    
    //here we move the results into a single level array of field number => field value
    for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
    $key = $migrate[$i]['field_number'];
    $value =$migrate[$i]['value'];
    $input[$key] = $value;
    }
    
    //now we have a single array, $input. Now create a WP user account. In this case, I made WP's user nicename and dsiplay name be a concatenation of their first and last name -- fields 3.3 and 3.6 on my example form. You might have separate fields for those.
        $usernicename = $displayname = $input['3.3']." ".$input['3.6'];
        $email = $input['5'];
        $user_pass = wp_generate_password();
        $curdate = date('Y-m-d-H-i-s');
        $result= $wpdb->query($wpdb->prepare("INSERT INTO wp_users (user_login, user_pass, user_registered, user_email, user_nicename, display_name) VALUES (%s, %s, %s,%s, %s, %s)", array($email, $user_pass, $curdate , $email, $usernicename, $displayname) ) );
    
    //and return the WP user ID of the member you just created
    $user_id = $wpdb->insert_id;
    
    //last thing is to fill in a few values in the member meta table. I'm making these guys be subscribers and since I'm using WordpressMU for this example, I'm also assigning a primary blog it -- which I guess WP3.0 uses too. And I was lazy, I hard coded the blog id. Should use WP function to insert the right one automatically
    
    //now we add in the additonal user_meta values for the primary member //
    $capabilities='a:1:{s:10:"subscriber";b:1;}';
    $user_level ='10';
        $result= $wpdb->insert("wp_usermeta", array('user_id' => $user_id, 'meta_key' => $wpdb->prefix.'capabilities', 'meta_value' => $capabilities) );
        $result= $wpdb->insert("wp_usermeta", array('user_id' => $user_id, 'meta_key' => $wpdb->prefix.'user_level', 'meta_value' => $user_level) );
        $result= $wpdb->insert("wp_usermeta", array('user_id' => $user_id, 'meta_key' => 'primary_blog', 'meta_value' => '2') );
        $result= $wpdb->insert("wp_usermeta", array('user_id' => $user_id, 'meta_key' => 'first_name', 'meta_value' => $input['3.3']) );
        $result= $wpdb->insert("wp_usermeta", array('user_id' => $user_id, 'meta_key' => 'last_name', 'meta_value' => $input['3.6']) );*/
    
    } //end of the function

    You can stick this whole thing in your theme functions file, then make it take effect by adding this right afterwards:

    add_action("gform_post_submission", "create_wp_user", 10, 2);

    If you want to have the password emailed to the user you can do that as well, I didn't bother in this case. The more likely scenario is you're letting them pick a password themselves so you'd simply get rid of the wp_generate_password() part and use the value they submitted.

    For those of us for whom long lines are code are a little intimidating..... what we're really after is an easy way to include user registration.. one that would incorporate the fields on the post submission form, and had the drag and drop functionality of the form builder.

    I have a few client sites with this now and dredging through all the theme functions of these sites to drop in this code and test it... seems like a lot of work to me!

    Yes, I'm lazy :)

  20. We do plan on adding user registration capabilities to Gravity Forms. However, we have other features that are higher up on the to do list such as import/export, multi-page forms, payment processing integration, etc. BUT it is definitely a feature we will add eventually.

  21. "other features that are higher up on the to do list"

    I think the one that should be highest on the list is....not use white text on black background on this forum really hurting my eyes....sorry off topic..

    can we bring this back to life? I'm really interested in getting a gravity form user registration page, will even pay to have it done.

    I've tried to get Newports code going and have gotten half way there. The problem is the users pass is not sent to him, and it's not saved with md5 encryption in the wp_user db so its useless to wordpress.

    Posted 14 years ago on Tuesday October 5, 2010 | Permalink
  23. We are working on an add-on that will bring user registration capabilities to Gravity Forms. It is tentatively planned to be released alongside Gravity Forms 1.5 later this year and will also integrate with the PayPal add-on we are working on.

    This is urgent. I will beta test, or can someone write out a short how to that is complete?

  25. Gravity Forms v1.5, the PayPal Add-On and the User Registration Add-On as tentatively planned to be release for beta testing later this month. Keep watching the support site for the announcement.

    I'm looking for a solution sooner than that.

    Newport are you around for any contract work?

    Posted 14 years ago on Monday October 11, 2010 | Permalink
  27. I am really excited about this feature. However, I too would like to be able to use Newport's method in the meantime. Newport, can I contact you for further explanation? I have limited PHP knowledge and need some guidance. Mn2, have you been able to implement this is your blog?

  31. The User Registration Add-On is nearing beta release status. It's still in development and will be released as a Beta 1 hopefully sometime next week.
