User contributed pages with ability to interlink with source page

I'm new to gravity forms, so this may have been requested before. I've been using a platform from SiteSell for about 9 years. One of the features that has developed over the years is something they call C2, or Content 2.0. It's similar to Gravity Form's ability to create posts, which I intended to take advantage of.

In C2, what happens is the visitor creates a "page" which is linked back to the originating page. The originating page also gets a link to this new visitor created page. So, first, I would requested that we are able to do this for pages, as well as posts. I'm content builder, and posts make hierarchies difficult.

I would also need the ability to insert a link back to the originating page, which means I would need to be able to pull the page title as a parameter (for keyword) and also the URL of the originating page. Since I use a theme with plugins that manage page hierarchy, I don't need to worry about the parent point to the child. However, that means I would need to be able to select the parent page (unless that could be dynamic, which would be my preference).

My goal would be to use as few forms as possible and make everything parameterized. But, if I had to build a form for each page, I would sweat it out, because it's worth it. My goal is to cast a long tail net off my content tiers. Hope that makes sense.

Hi Carl,

Just to be clear, this is what I would like to do:

1. Create a Page instead of a Post
2. Be able to "select" the Parent Page for this created Page

I can already:

A. Create a link to the originating page using Gravity Forms
B. List child Pages on a Page

I don't want to reinvent this by displaying Posts as Child Pages. I really want pages. Since I have a programming background, I'm not afraid to hack into this - even though php and wordpress aren't my thing ;) But, this would be a powerful feature for content sites that want long-tail keyword content provided by visitors.

Maybe a post and a page are really the same thing in WP, but it doesn't seem that way at first glance. Since I can capture the parent Postid, it's probably simply to set the parent page (hopefully), but would this need to be a Page first, and not a Post?

Has there been an answer to this question? I need the same answer, I do not know much PHP but very familiar with Wordpress. What hook I can use so when the form is submitter, it saves a Page and not a post?

Thanks!
