WP-CLI Command for Syncing Entries
This add-on provides the ability to sync entries from a Form Submission and Entry Edit screen. To bulk sync all entries even prior to setting up a Pods Gravity Form Feed, you can run a WP-CLI command.
Example 1: Sync all entries for Form 123 first active Pod feed
wp pods-gf sync --form=123
Example 2: Sync all entries for Form 123 using a specific feed (even if it is inactive)
wp pods-gf sync --form=123 --feed=2
Mapping GF List Fields to a Pods Relationship field
You can map a GF List field to a Relationship field related to another Pod. Using the below examples you can customize how the automatic mapping works. By default, the list columns will map to the pod fields with the same labels.
Example 1: Customize what columns map to which Related Pod fields for Form ID 1, Field ID 2
Customizing a list field row can be done by using the pods_gf_field_columns_mapping filter, which has Form ID and Field ID variations (pods_gf_field_columns_mapping_{form_id} and pods_gf_field_columns_mapping_{form_id}_{field_id}).
add_filter( 'pods_gf_field_columns_mapping_1_2', 'my_columns_mapping', 10, 4 );
/**
* Filter list columns mapping for related pod fields.
*
* @param array $columns List field columns.
* @param array $form GF form.
* @param GF_Field $gf_field GF field data.
* @param Pods $pod Pods object.
*
* @return array
*/
function my_columns_mapping( $columns, $form, $gf_field, $related_obj ) {
$columns[0] = 'first_field';
$columns[1] = 'second_field';
$columns[2] = 'third_field';
return $columns;
}
Example 2: Customize a List row for Form ID 1, Field ID 2
Customizing a list field row can be done by using the pods_gf_field_column_row filter, which has Form ID and Field ID variations (pods_gf_field_column_row_{form_id} and pods_gf_field_column_row_{form_id}_{field_id}).
add_filter( 'pods_gf_field_column_row_1_2', 'my_column_row_override', 10, 6 );
/**
* Filter list field row for relationship field saving purposes.
*
* @param array $row List field row.
* @param array $columns List field columns.
* @param array $form GF form.
* @param GF_Field $gf_field GF field data.
* @param array $options Pods GF options.
* @param Pods|false $related_obj Related Pod object.
*
* @return array
*/
function my_column_row_override( $row, $columns, $form, $gf_field, $options, $related_obj ) {
// Update certain row fields based on the value of specific column.
if ( ! empty( $row['user_relationship_field'] ) ) {
$user = get_userdata( (int) $row['user'] );
// Set the post_title to match the User display name.
if ( $user && ! is_wp_error( $user ) ) {
$row['post_title'] = $user->display_name;
}
}
return $row;

1.4.5 – July 22nd, 2022

- Added: Not seeing something map correctly? As a site admin, you now have the power to debug the form submission and see what might be going on. Add
?pods_gf_debug_gf_to_pods=1to the URL of the form action before submitting to take advantage of the admin-only debug mode. This will output the values as they would be sent to Pods, the entry information used to reference it, and the feed options used at the time. It will stop the form from completely saving to Pods so you can tweak and debug your form feeds however much you’d like to perfect them.
