I want to gate a ninja table within a specific section on my WP site and after the user submits the form the ninja table is then ungated and viewable. Is there a way to do this? I see that it works for a downloadables but I\'m not seeing this option. Any insight would be greatly appreciated

You need to explain what you want more clearly. What's a ninja table and what do you mean by "gated" and "ungated"? What business process are you trying to automate?

Hi Victor! Ninja Tables is a table builder plugin in the market to create WordPress tables from scratch. Our business is currently using it to display ranked high school athletes in the US from various sports and we wish to use this as a lead magnet to collect user information so that we can get them into our email marketing funnel. I was hoping the Formidable could provide a solution where a user must fill out a form on the site that is blocking them from viewing the rankings table/content on the page. Once they enter their information and click submit, then the rankings table/content is visible to the user.

Okay. You can do all of this in Formidable, but only through custom code. You have to use the global $wpdb object to access tables that do not belong to Formidable but are in the WordPress database. You can also access non-WordPress databases through ODBC or REST.

As far as displaying the content, you may have to write your own report. Formidable views are filtered by entry id. A view won't work for a foreign table. This is all custom work.

Based on my experience, you're probably looking at 10-20 man hours for a project of this nature..
