post images

Love your plugin.
Just wish i could have more power with the post images. Gravity forms doesnt let you save a post image to a custom field. So made my own way here:

I use pods to make custom fields of type image. The value msut be a media ID.
When i add post image fields in gravity forms I can make them save to the post by grabbing the media_id which is put at the end of the entry value string for post images. Like this:

add_action( 'gform_after_submission', 'add_post_image', 10, 2 );
function add_pot_image( $entry, $form ) {
   
   //it is being saved to a post
   if(isset($entry['post_id']) ){
       $post_id = $entry['post_id'];
    
         foreach($form['fields'] as $field){
         //if its a post image type and is not being saved as featured and the class starts with field_  
         if($field['type'] == 'post_image' && $field['postFeaturedImage'] == '' && strpos($field['cssClass'], 'field_') !== false){
            
            $entry_id = $field['id'];
            //getting the last digits which are the media_id from entry value
            preg_match('/[0-9]*$/', $entry[$entry_id], $value);
            
            //css class must start with field_ this way you can still have other css classes
            preg_match('/field_(\w*)/', $field['cssClass'], $custom_field);
         
            update_post_meta($post_id, $custom_field[1], $value[0]);
           }
         }
        }    
     }

Here if a field has a css class of field_something it will find post meta with key 'something' and add the image.
Now how the heck can I prepopulate this and have it save!! Post images doesnt even let you pre poulate! ugh...
