Community Events, Custom Field Suite and Gravity Forms

[Courtney]

I have CFS adding a Gravity form to my Community events post types. It is working fine in the admin, but I can’t get the fields to show up on the front-end form for community events. From what I found so far the CFS code should be added to the edit-event.php template.

[Courtney]

I figured this out. You don’t need CFS at all. Instead I am redirecting to the form since I don’t need the rest of the fields to show on the calendar anyway https://theeventscalendar.com/redirect-to-different-url-after-community-event-submission/.

Is there a way to tie the Community Event submission to the Gravity Form so they are connected?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us. I can try to help you out on this customization.

I am not sure what CFS is (a custom field plugin), but did you figure out what you were trying to do? Let me know and I can answer some questions, like below:

Is there a way to tie the Community Event submission to the Gravity Form so they are connected?

I use both plugins and cannot think of a place how to do this, but there maybe a way to do it, but not without major customization, which is beyond the support we can provide.

Let me know if you have any followup questions.

Thanks

Hi,

I am not really sure if it is possible to send the title to Gravity Forms. You cannot embed a form in a form so you would have to create a function to send the title yourself and create an entry.

There maybe a way to add more Additional Fields then we provide, but it would involve custom coding to create the field and hooking into the form saving and updating process to get it to work.

A work around to that maybe to use Javascript for the custom fields and just use a text field to save the content.

That is about all I have for doing this customization, but can answer any more follow up questions you have.

Thanks

Brian, I can create the entry on the Gravity Form but need some help with the function to send the event title to the form. Is this something you can help with? Thanks!

[Brian]

As Barry said in reply to your other posting we are limited on the support we can provide.

I am unable to provide any coding for this, but you could look into using javascript to mirror the Event title field in a hidden field in Gravity Forms and send it that way.

Another option maybe to use Gravity Forms Dynamic Population, but it depends on how you have everything setup.

Let me know if you have anymore follow up questions, but I will not be able to troubleshoot each step of this coding so not much more I can help with unfortunately.

Thanks

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
