Author Field Not Filling In about pods-gravity-forms HOT 17 CLOSED

Sorry, I've been focused on Pods 2.7 stuff this week. Let me shoot back around to this task this weekend.

@sc0ttkclark Do you have any idea on when this might be fixed? I only ask because right now, I have to manually change every post accordingly. We're launching within the next week or two, and it would be GREAT if this was working properly. Otherwise, I may have to come up with a quick solution or not use gravity forms.

Seems like it is using post_author.

@lukecav, could you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean.

To recap, I currently have it set up so that when a member fills out and submits the gravity form, using the gravity forms pod integration / feed, it's supposed to create a new post in the custom post type and set it as pending review, with the author set as the logged in user that filled out the gravity form. However, it's working right now. Whether or not the 'use logged in user as author' box is checked, it always uses the default user in the drop down box.

If I try to work around the check box, and create a direct feed using a hidden field w/ default value of the 'logged in user' and author fields... the author field then shows up blank.

There's something wrong with the feed from gravity forms into the author field or something wrong with the check box Use logged in user as author. All the right information makes it's way into the gravity form (I can see it in the confirmation email and form response) but doesn't make it into the post.

@sc0ttkclark, do you have any thoughts on this?

from pods-gravity-forms.

So I just tested on local dev, running the current version of Pods for Gravity Forms, Gravity Forms on WP 4.7.3. Created a simple form, extended Post to be the Pod. Then created the feed on the form. Used a simple text field for the author name, then used a merge tag {user:display_name}.

The post was created, but no author was set to the post.

Yes, that seems to be what's happening to me too. I need the logged in user filling out the form to become the author for the post.

Hi @sc0ttkclark, any progress on this? It's been about 2 weeks since you said you'd look at it? It's a real issue. And the more I researched it, it doesn't seem like I'm the only one with this issue. Please let me know if you have any recommendations on what I can do to fix this problem.

from pods-gravity-forms.

Thanks for your patience, it took me longer on those tasks than planned and then my daughter caught strep.

I'm looking into this today, since you're very responsive -- I hope you'll be able to help me test proposed fixes, would that be accurate?

Sorry for the delay again today, I had to take my youngest daughter to the doctor's office as she was also having signs of Strep.

I've got a fix in place now, please confirm it's working with the latest version here:

I cleared some of my schedule today in case you need help testing. I'd really appreciate if you could take a look at this. I know life gets in the way though. I hope you're daughter feels better soon. Let me know if there is anything I can try to fix it on my own. Thank you, @sc0ttkclark!

from pods-gravity-forms.

@kbrennan981 I replied last night that I've got a fix in place, so feel free to test that whenever you can today. I can push an update out to wordpress.org after that.

from pods-gravity-forms.

Ooops, I'm sorry @sc0ttkclark. I missed that last sentence somehow. I'll test it out this morning and let you know. Thank you so much. I really appreciate you moving this to the front.

from pods-gravity-forms.

No worries, I accidentally committed a syntax error anyways so you would have hit that first thing today, I just fixed that.

from pods-gravity-forms.

@sc0ttkclark, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It's working now. Much appreciated. I tested it on several different forms and it all seems to go through correctly now. I sincerely appreciate it!

from pods-gravity-forms.

Awesome, I'll get this out in the 1.3 release once I get a few more things done.
