Searching and Publishing of Posted Data?

    Hello,

    I have a two-step need for a form builder plugin. The first is that I need to capture data from end users (and Gravity Forms appears to fill that need quite well).

    The second step is that I need to make this data accessible to the same end users - searchable to them on my website. For example, the data may contain names and addresses of organizations (submitted via a form) that the end user may want to search on - maybe it's searching by ZIP code, maybe it's by organization type, etc.

    Once the data has been entered, how would I go about exposing that data to my end users?

    Thanks!

    Joe

    It would be somewhat complicated to do. You could use the Directory Add-on created by a third party, which could help you do what you want, or the Custom Post Type add-on created by a third party to allow Gravity Forms to create a custom post that would then be searchable using WordPress' built-in search.

    Ugh - OK - that's what I thought :(

    I'll look around to see if there's anything else available - I'd really like to use Gravity Forms for entering the data but I don't want to create a one-off custom solution to present the data back to the users.

    Thanks for the speedy response!
