Conditional fields for registered user

Thanks for asking this. I was wondering the same thing. The custom template option is a great workaround. Carl - I am loving this plugin and only wished I'd bought it long ago.

**Update:** Here is a more in-depth write up (with pictures!) of how this can be implemented.

Here is an alternate concept for showing/hiding fields based on whether the user is logged in or not. We will use the the Gravity Forms' gform_field_value filter to dynamically populate a multiple choice field based on whether the user is logged in or not. We can then use Gravity Forms' conditional logic to show or hide fields based on our dynamically populated multiple choice field. Steps to recreate below:

1. Create a multiple choice field with these settings:
   Standard Properties
   Advanced Properties
2. Create a field that should only be visible to users who are logged in by setting the field's conditional logic to only show the field when our multiple choice field indicates that the user is logged in: Sample Logic.
3. Now let's paste the code below into your theme's functions.php file: Magical Code.
   So what does this snippet do? Remember on step one when we created the multiple choice field and specified a dynamic population parameter titled "loggedin" under the Advanced properties tab? This snippet looks for any field with the "loggedin" population parameter and populates a value of 1 or 0 depending on whether the user is logged in.
4. That should be it. If you access the form as a logged in user, your conditional field should show up. Now log out and access the form again. Your field should be hidden.

Works great, the only problem is I'm able to override "gform_hidden" with a dom editor such as firebug. Not the biggest deal in my case but is there a way to fix this?

@Carl, Anyway to show/hide the "if logged in" field at the server (PHP) level?

Thanks for the update. I just wanted to make it clear that I am always amazed at the great support and features you offer I just get curious and want to know if GF can do this or that. I'm not trying to belittle what it already does.

Thanks for a great 1.5 release.

Hey, not sure if this is still an issue, but I've built this functionality out before. I built it on Gravity Forms 1.5.x, but it seems to work on 1.6.1 as well (haven't really tested it, though). If you want the code, you can find it here:

That code would work fine as a mu-plugin, or, with some plugin headers added, as a regular plugin as well.

Hope this helps!
