Creating Parse.com users with Gravity Forms

One of the projects I am currently working on requires the typical user create/edit forms. Since I am using Parse.com on the back-end and part of the front-end is being developed with WordPress, I was hoping to tie things together as easy as possible.

I want to use Gravity Forms for my collection of user data, and at the same time pass that information over to parse.com.

Turns out it’s fairly easy. I was able to plug the new Parse.com PHP SDK into my functions.php and hook into gravity forms after the form submission.

Here’s a rough example of what to do:

<?php require 'autoload.php'; use Parse\ParseClient; ParseClient::initialize('xxxxxx', 'xxxxxx', 'xxxxxx'); use Parse\ParseUser; add_action("gform_after_submission_1", "create_parse_user", 10, 2); function create_parse_user($entry, $form) { //var_dump($entry); $first = $entry["1.3"]; $last = $entry["1.6"]; $email = $entry["2"]; $pass = $entry["3"]; $user = new ParseUser(); $user->set('username', $email); $user->set('firstname', $first); $user->set('lastname', $last); $user->set('email', $email); $user->set('password', $pass); try { $user->signUp(); } catch (ParseException $ex) { echo "Error: " . $ex->getCode() . " " . $ex->getMessage();die; } }
