I think it is very weird to have to jump so much hurdles just to ask a PRE SALE question.
Here is the question;
Is it possible to do this :
- publishing an entry on a post
- making the entry editable so a registered user can modify the entry.
My purpose is to have 20 entries, then 20 pages or posts (one for each presentation of 20 projects) and make the entries (then the pages or posts) evolving with the projects.
What hurdles are you referring to? We request users ask pre-sale questions on our forums so that 1) Other users can benefit from the question/answers and 2) They are already then registered on the support site for when they purchase.
Gravity Forms can be used to create a post, however Entries cannot be published as a post. If you setup your form to create a post then the post is created at the time the form is submitted. Entries are always created. Posts are only created if the form is configured to do so.
Entries are editable. However, in order to edit an Entry the user must have Administration access to your site as Gravity Forms admin access is limited to Administrators. You would have to install a plugin such as the Members plugin for role management in order to allow non-admins to view the Gravity Forms admin area. Even then users would have access to all entries, not just their own.
Entries and the Posts they create are tied together only for the purpose of knowing what post a form submission created. A link to the post that is created exists in the entry detail. However, editing an entry does not then change the post that was created. After a post is created it must be edited using the standard WordPress post editor.
So if you are using Gravity Forms to create posts and want users to have access to their own posts after the fact, then you would give them access to the WordPress admin and their posts which they could then edit using user roles.
