User Registration

  1. I have just purchased the developer license and have some questions. I want to register users to my site, and then have a custom page where they can upload content which is only visible to a registered user (or will only let them upload if they have typed in the correct user name and password). I want the file to upload to the normal form area with all their original registered information, such as name etc. From what i read on your site I was lead to believe this would all be achievable.

    Thanks

  2. Forgot to any my URL's

    http://theadvertorialnetwork.co.uk/register/

    Once someone has registered using the URL above I want them to be able to upload a file using the url below. But they will only be able to upload if they have correctly entered the username and password they registered with.

    Thanks for your help

  3. While Gravity Forms can be used to register/create a new user using the User Registration Add-On, Gravity Forms doesn't have login functionality. So you can't add a username and password to your field and only let the form submit if that username and password are correct. This isn't built in functionality.

    It's certainly possible but you would have to write custom validation to handle this type of functionality.

    One alternative is to use the new Gravity Forms v1.6 beta which has a new form setting to only allow logged in users to fill out a form. So what you can do is create a form to handle the uploads, then use that new setting so that only logged in users can access the form.

    If you want that upload form to contain user information you would have to add fields to your form to store that user information and if you want that information to be dynamically populated you would have to set the default value to one of the available merge tags OR dynamically populate the fields using PHP.
