I getting ready to launch about 50 websites. Each website is going to be a niche site for real estate. It might be a particular cit, or it might be a subdivision, etc. I'd like all of the leads from those sites to funnel into one database. Is that possible? This is honestly going to be above my head I think, but I want to be able to intelligently point the programmer into the right direction.

Multiple Websites, Multiple Cloned Forms, One Database - Point right direction

Hey Scott, right now there isn't a way to do this as the 50 sites each use their own database.
However, what you could do is setup one site to be specifically for the forms. Then create a theme template file that doesn't consist of the site design, just the page content. Use this template for some form pages.
Then you could iframe in these pages into the other sites.
It isn't as ideal as having them natively on the other sites, but this would allow you to display the form on the other sites while having the form data all feed into one.
You could even pass information to the iframe url and pre-populate form fields with that information (such as a listing id, etc.).
This would point a developer in the right direction...

Scott ...
I don't know if Gravity Forms plays nice with Word Press MU ... but ...
If you built the 50 sites using WordPress Multi User ... then all of the individual sites are actually in one single database (all handled seamlessly in the background). A programmer would then be able to extract all of that information from the one database ...

EDIT: Realized I've answered a 4 month old post :)... oh well.. hope someone finds this useful.
If you'll use Wordpress MU you can then make a page template and inside it change the blog from the current site (a small city site for example) to the main site (that has GravityForms installed). This way you can call the the contact form directly from there.
`
switch_to_blog(1);
gravity_form(2, false, false);
restore_current_blog();
`I haven't tested this with GravityForms, but with any other wordpress function it works like a treat.
