save_post wordpress hook with gravityforms

I've got a function to automatically create a taxonomy entry when I create or edit a post. It's called using the save_post hook in WordPress, and works perfectly on the backend.

It doesn't work in Gforms though, and I'm assuming based on that that Gforms doesn't use WordPress' built-in post creation functions.

I found in forms_model.php that gforms uses the wp_insert_post() function, which does call the save_post hook. Why doesn't it seem to be working right then?

I did a bit more digging. The hook gets fired, but I'm getting caught up on my post type checking.

I added a function to my site to allow Gforms to add content to a post type called "bloggers". This works fine.

I have the following code in my save_post function to make sure I'm only getting the right post type. This is where my problem is. The function gets returned before any of the important stuff happens.

How can I change this code to allow Gforms to get through my validation?

// verify if this is an auto save routine. If it is our form has not been submitted, so we dont want
	// to do anything
	if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE )
		return $post_id;

	// Check permissions
	if ( 'bloggers' == $_POST['post_type'] ) {
		if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_page', $post_id ) )
			return $post_id;
	}
	else
		return $post_id;

I figured it out. :)

Problem with field names, and the $_POST['post_type'] like you said.

Thanks.

Fantastic plugin, btw. Absolute lifesaver.
