Set Post Status and User Registration based on value of a drop down field

    Maybe I am trying to do too much with one form. I am using GF with PayPal Pro, MailChimp, and User Registration,

    I have a membership registration form that will create a new "Member record" (custom post type), register the user, sign them up on MailChimp list. I have a drop down field to select to pay either by check (I attach an invoice to the notification email) or to pay via credit/debit card (using PayPal pro) if they select the option, process the dues payment via PayPal Payments Pro.

    Here is where I am stuck. I want to create the post as a draft, create a user guest role account and sign them up for the if they select to pay by check. If they select and successfully pay via PayPal payments Pro, I would like the post to be created as published, and the user to be set up as an editor role.

    I am thinking perhaps I need a pre-submission hook based on payment type field. Or would it require different feeds, or both?

    Ok, I found the gform_post_data hook information to set the $post_data["post_status"]. It works like a charm.

    Here is the script I used:

    add_filter("gform_post_data", "change_post_status", 10, 3);
function change_post_status($post_data, $form, $entry){
    //only change post status on form id 1
    if($form["id"] != 1)
       return $post_data;
    //  Get payment selection choice
    $pay_type = $entry["37"];
    if ($pay_type == "Check")
       $post_data["post_status"] = "draft";
    if ($pay_type == "Card")
        $post_data["post_status"] = "publish";
    return $post_data;
}

    That's a good way of doing it. Thanks for posting your solution.
