I want certain users to be able to log in, fill in some predetermined fields, click Submit, and have the data they entered then display on a WordPress Page (not post). Is this possible with Gravity Forms?
Second question - if the above answer is yes, is it also possible to include a PayPal payment button for a situation where they need to pay before their data will display?
So you want to create a Page instead of a Post? This is possible, but not as a built in feature. You would have to write custom code and use available Gravity Forms API hooks to tell Gravity Forms to save as a page and not a post. How proficient are you with PHP and WordPress development?
If you wanted them to pay in order to create the post you could use the Gravity Forms PayPal Add-On. However that requires a Developers License to access.

Hi
Sorry to cut in here - I'm also curious as to how to create a form that will create a page and not a post. If I have 5 custom fields, could I build a form to post to those 5 custom fields? Then the data in those custom fields be displayed in newly created page?
Though if it's not out of the box stuff [ this would be a great feature - even better if this was WP-ADMIN based too ] then is it hard to implement ? I'm kinda OK at PHP and not too bad with WP.
Thanks Mark
Here is a post that shows how to create a page, not a post, from a form using custom code:
Thanks for the further information. I have to ask again, though, about the situation where the Page already exists and they are just replacing the info each time they do an update. I know you can't provide support for these tweaks or give us detailed instructions how to do it, but I just need to know if it is possible. Thanks!
Oh, and here's what I'm going for - the page would look sort of like this once submitted: http://ridetheup.com/ontonagon/. The user would update this info on a regular basis.
Why don't you just create submissions as Posts in their own, unique category, then create a page template that grabs only the latest of these posts (or whatever). That way your URL will be to the Page but the Page will contain a Post... you could alternately use a custom category template and include that page (I am assuming it has some "intro" text or something static on it) and limit the output to a single post with a custom query in the category template.
Hmm, I thought I replied to this earlier, guess not. Thanks for the suggestion - that very well may work! I'm pursuing another possibility at the moment, but if it doesn't come through, I'll try your suggestion. Thanks again :)
