Configuration File

$gfedf_phpcas_path

Verify that CAS directory exists under the plugin directory and CAS.php exists (/cas/CAS.php)

$gfedf_phpcas_path = dirname(__FILE__)=dirname(__FILE__)

FILE_UPLOAD_PATH & FILE_UPLOAD_URL

Gravity forms store files at a default location.

Eg: /var/www…./wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/1-360e029abdcd1bab14fa72c4cd896c8a/2014/03

User can change this location by setting the path in the config file. Set both constants FILE_UPLOAD_PATH and FILE_UPLOAD_URL located in “gf_external_data_fields_config” class (Refer file: EXAMPLE-gravityforms-external-data-fields-config.php) to your file storage path and url respectively.

const FILE_UPLOAD_PATH = "/var/www/www.example.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/uploads_testing/";
const FILE_UPLOAD_URL = "http://www.example.org/wpm/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/uploads_testing/";

IS_AUTH

The value indicated in the parameter must used when creating an authenticated field using Gravity Forms>Advanced options, (see section below). NOTE: This value is case sensitive. Section Save authenticated data won't show if values don't match in form and file.

const IS_AUTH = "is_auth";

IS_VERIFIED_MESSAGE & IS_NOT_VERIFIED_MESSAGE

The message indicated here is going to appear in all Authencation fields

const IS_VERIFIED_MESSAGE = "...";
const IS_NOT_VERIFIED_MESSAGE = "...";

AUTHENTICATE_ATTRIBUTE

This parameters is needed when you want to use authentication through CAS on a form. This parameter should match the attribute name in the shortcode of gravity form. This is case sensitive. The page that is assigned to the form needs to have the following shortcode in order to retrieve data from database (see case 5119):

[gravityform id="1" name="Enrollment Verification" authenticate = "true"]

User can choose any attribute name (in the case above its 'authenticate'), as long as it matches the config constant AUTHENTICATE_ATTRIBUTE value.

const AUTHENTICATE_ATTRIBUTE = "...";

AFTER_LOGOUT_URL

This is needed to redirect users to a website after the forms have been submitted. This is only useful when the form uses authentication (AUTHENTICATE_ATTRIBUTE)

const AFTER_LOGOUT_URL
