Using Gravity Forms with Event Organizer

Hi James,

I know of at least on person who has used Gravity Forms for front-end event submission (though I don’t have example code). Gravity forms lets you execute arbitrary code after a form has been submitted via its provided hooks. I advise against trying to populate the various meta keys that an event requires, but instead hooking into a form submission and using the submitted data (which is passed to the callback) to use Event Organiser’s API to create an event.

Specifically this function: eo_insert_event() (see codex).

I’ll mention here that the details in that codex are a bit out of date – although the example still works – you can now pass just the one array to eo_insert_event() rather than splitting it into.

Due to backwards compatibility, both will work, but passing one array rather than two is just nicer code aesthetics :).
