Publish to listing

    Hi, I have two questions.

    I’m trying to create a sort of marketplace where clients can request a quote for a transport, and transporters can compete on their listing, by trying to outbid. So far, I’ve succeeded to create separate registration and profile pages for clients and transporters.

    So my first question is : is there a way for a submitted form can be transformed into a published listing? Rather than sending an email notification, if once the form is completed, it automatically creates a published listing?

    Second question is : can an account be created once a user submits a form? So if I added a password and username at the end of my form, could the form also create an account for them with those credentials?

    If you know any plugins that can do anything similar, or even someone I can pay to create something like this, please let me know, I am struggling quite a bit. Thanks a lot for your time.

    Hi @mebencotransports

    I hope you’re well today!

    Forminator can publish new content directly from any form as long as it’s to a registered post type – standard post or page or any custom post type. It can also fill-in custom fields. All you’d need to do would be to add a “Post data” field to the form.

    Once you enter this field settings you’ll be able to select what “parts” of content should be displayed on the form (e.g. title, content, excerpt, featured image, tags, etc). You will also be able to select what post type to use (in this case it can be your listing post type) and what should be the status of the post (it can be automatically published right away).

    However, if you put the “Post Data” field on a registration form (I understand that you already know how to create registration forms) a post will be created by it will not be assigned to that newly created user. Instead the author will be the “fallback”/default one that you’ll select in “Post Data” field settings.

    You can, of course, edit such post later and change its author but if you need it to be assigned automatically to that new user right away, you’ll need to use two forms:

    – first a registration form
    – and then a form – set for logged-in users only – for post (listing) creation

    If you have any further questions, let us know, please.

    Best regards,
    Adam
