Using GF as an Assessment tool for creating new multisite defaults

  1. Hey all,

    I've been a long time GF user and love just as much as the first day I purchased it. My ideation team and I were chatting and were about to dive into creating a new feature, but something tells me we can accomplish it with gravity forms.

    In a nutshell, we are using WPMUDEV's New Blog Templates (which can turn existing multisites into templates for duplication), and also using the Batch User Creation (which allows users to be created in bulk based on an csv).

    We were toying around with the idea of using a GF as an assessment tool that will eventually create the preferences to be loaded into a new site being created. This would all be based on user preferences. So my questions to you guys are:

    1) Have any of you had this type of experience and can you shed any light and
    2) If you haven't gone this route, do any of you guys have any good suggestions as where to start with this?

    I am not sure if its ever been done, so let me know if you guys have any good ideas, before we spend lots of hours trying to get it started.

    Thanks for any help you guys can throw my way!

  2. Hey Dub3325

    I don't have an answer, sorry.

    However, I would like to repeat your question to make sure I'm understanding it correctly. Basically, you want to use GF as a front-end to gather some settings / parameters and then on submit of that form create a new MS site in a MS network. Is that correct?

    I'm not sure if GF is The Answer - cap T cap A - but I would think it would be possible to build a form that uses actions and filters to alter WP admin-esque settings. That can be done with a plugin, yes? You just want to change the method of input.

    Sound about right?

  3. Hey there,

    Pretty much correct, I'm seeking ways to inject more data into the ms creation that batch upload and blog defaults offer. Thanks for the tip, I will look into that route too!
