Make a sticky entry?

    Is there a way to connect the WP sticky entry function? I'm using Gravity Forms to allow a client to submit entries from the front end, and I would like to have the same "Sticky" option in the form as appears in the WP backend.

    Thanks for your help.

    Would you want all the posts submitted via the form to be sticky, or do you just want to allow them to check sticky, or not?

    In either case, you can change the post status using the gform_after_submission hook. Instead of changing the post content (as in the example) you would change the post sticky status, based on the value of the checkbox (if you are doing this conditionally) or for all posts created with your form.

    I would like it to be an option to make the post sticky, i.e. a checkbox. Would I need to use $post->post_status? Would the sticky value be $sticky? Unfortunately, I'm a real hack when it comes to php.

    Chris - I want to do the same thing but I don't know much (any) php. I looked at the "Gform after submission" link and I understand in theory how I can change the first example but lack the know how. Would line 9 on your link look something like this?

    $stickies->is_sticky = true;

    Also, where do I put this code?

    Thank you for your help!!

    No, no. That's fine.
    The thread was a little sporadic and didn't realise that's where I needed to start.

    Thanks for pointing it out in your reply.
