Meta Box of custom fields

    Hi !

    Is it possible to add a meta-box with customs fields i created in a gravity form at the admin-panel (edit posts/pages) with the same input behavior as on the front-end ?
    So it's possible for an admin to edit the field settings.

    Regards
    Ralf

    Are you referring to being able to use a Gravity Form as a custom write panel when creating a post/page using edit posts/pages? Currently this isn't possible.

    So far the focus of the plugin has been about collecting data on the front end. It is a feature that has come up a few times so we will be looking into how we can put the Gravity Forms functionality to use on the backend.

    The only thing you could do at this point is create a form you want to use to create posts with the necessary custom fields and then use the Preview functionality to submit the form and create the posts.

    While you can't embed part of the form on the standard edit/add posts/page screens... one thing you could do is create your own plugin that adds a menu item for a custom post creation page and then the plugin itself simply calls the gravity forms function call to display a form. That would take some plugin development knowledge to pull off. But it is certainly possible.

    Hi !

    Thanks for the answer.
    I try the following (very simple) code example

    [code]
    function new_gravity_boxes()
    {
    gravity_form(1, false, false);
    } // end new_gravity_boxes

    function create_gravity_box()
    {
    if ( function_exists('add_meta_box') ) {
    add_meta_box( 'new-gravity-boxes', __('deLuxe - Profile Settings','deluxe'), 'new_gravity_boxes', 'post', 'normal', 'high' );
    }
    } // end create_gravity_box

    add_action('admin_menu', 'create_gravity_box');

    [/code]

    But the form doesn't takes the custom-field values.
