Submitting a Form Entry via PHP / AJAX embed in other process

Hey,

Following idea:

I want to submit a form entry for a gform during a custom registration process of a theme (templatic StoreBox: http://templatic.com/ecommerce-themes/storebox). Background is a small poll which should be filled out during the registration process while sending the information to the database, but not directly to the user meta.

I cannot use the user registration functions of gravity forms because the registration process of the theme has to be used.

I am using the newest gravity forms version (1.5.2.8)

I thought about two ways but couldn't succeed for now:

1) embedding the form via gravity_form() with ajax support, disabling the submit button, firing the event when registration button clicked

what i did:

in the template file:
<?php gravity_form(1, false, false, false, '', true) ?>
in functions.php:
gravity_form_enqueue_scripts(1, true);

But the ajax functionality seems to not work, any idea why? couldn't find a hint in the source code, because i used the same form via shortcode in a post and it worked with ajax. i looked through the html code of both pages and couldn't find missing js or anything...

Anyways I also had another solution in mind:

2) Building the Form fields of the poll in the registration form and submitting it, then in the postprocessing create a form object and submitting it invisible.

Idea:

$form = new Form (...form data from post values...)
$form->submit();

or

gforms_submit_form(...form data from post values..);

But i couldn't figure out how to make this work... is this possible? couldn' find a hint in the forum / docs.

If not it would be a feature request to send Form submitions just via a function call without using an actual html form.

thanks a lot for your help!

Hey David,

thanks for your reply.

Meanwhile we decided to not use Gravityforms in this case because it's faster just to implement the poll in the registration process.

Anyways a nice feature would be the possibility to inject form entries just via a function:

gforms_submit_form( $form_id, $form_values);

is this feature existing? if not i can write a feature request for it.

Else I think the topic can be closed if possible.
