    1) Does your software allow me to provide people a way to submit one or more images to a gallery?

    2) assuming (1), does your software allow for some mechanism to conditionally accept/moderate which images appear on the gallery?

    Thanks

    Gravity Forms can be used to create WordPress posts. Those WordPress posts may include images. But there isn't the concept of a standalone Gallery in WordPress, so i'm not sure what you are referring to as far as that goes.

    Fair enough. I would like to craft a form to accept to up N images that would go into a NextGen gallery. Has that been done with Gravity Forms?

    There is no built in integration with NextGen. I haven't heard of anyone doing this, but anything is possible as a customization with the hooks but you would have to know WordPress development and be very familiar with NextGen in order to implement this as a customization. I have never used NextGen and am not familiar with it.

    You've said this a few times in posts, that there is no one official, or that it's not a commercial product with a long term plan, etc. Commercial things disappear overnight, too. Long term plans mean squat, and the developer is fairly active. I know of a at least a couple plug in authors for image upload/exporting from Lightroom exchange details related to development, make co-releases and get things submitted into the code.

    @tdiaz I'm not really sure what this is in response to or how it pertains to the users question above and my response to them. I never said above that NextGen is in some way inferior because it's not a commercial product with a long term plan, etc. So i'm not sure what exactly this is in response to or what you are wanting to know.

    Gravity Forms is extremely active with regular releases and a team of employees. It *IS* our flagship product and we are a company with employees, employee benefits, etc. We don't do this as a hobby, this is our business and it's how we support our families. So as far as disappearing overnight, it would take something catastrophic for that to happen considering this is what we do for a living.

    I have no problem with free and community support products. WordPress is itself a community support product, although heavily backed by the venture capital funded Automattic who employees most of the core development team of WordPress.

    HOWEVER when it comes to support and needing assistance and help, there are no guarantees with free solutions. That isn't to say all commercial products provide great support, however the successful ones do.

    In searching for information on what others may have done so far with GravityForms and NextGen Gallery, I found a few of the threads where you replied similarly, and this was just the third or forth one that I was reading and decided to comment as it was not closed to replies.

    It was in response to a similar question from another thread you replied to:

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/selection-of-pictures#post-28393

    My comment of "commercial" things disappearing was in no way aimed at Rocket Genius, but rather that you post implies that because it's not, and has no long term plan, and there isn't anyone to contact .. The plugin author his a site, and participates often on the WordPress forums, and there are several authors of plugins that work with both NextGen Gallery and other third party products (such as Lightroom) that have ongoing dialog with Alex Rabe, as so indicated in release notes, and even directly to me in one instance.
