coding a front end event submission form using gravity forms in version4?

Would this be possible? I need to have this feature, and we need to use version 4 for a number of reasons. The front end manager that is in beta is only available for version 3, so i’m wondering if it would be possible to create a form in gravity form and hook the results into a new event?

So i’ve got this far, and it works.

Using this plugin:

http://wordpress.org/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/

You can hook into custom post types and have them enter the post title, body text, featured image and excerpt.

The issue i’m finding, is that there are no custom fields for the custom post types for EE4 such as start date, end date, and times…

Also, i’d like to be able to pull a list of venues from a dropdown and have them submit a venue…

Hi Ty,

While EE4 uses Custom Post Types, it doesn’t use Custom Fields for its data as the data is simply too complex.

You would need to hook into the various functions that handle event creation. As such you will need a strong knowledge of OOP PHP. It might not even be possible to do some aspects of it just yet as some functions may currently be locked down as Private or not have an appropriate hook.
