Using "//" before the comments was not allowing the code to be read for some reason. Since I like to document everything, I found that using /* and */ on the comments allowed everything to work perfectly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/right-parameter-names-to-pre-populate-the-names-fields#post-18171 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 01:38:57 +0000 azazure 18171@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm also using Register Plus Redux if that makes a difference. It's a free plugin which allows you to add additional fields to the registration. BTW, I LOVE this plugin. It is making short work out of what I thought would be an impossible job. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/right-parameter-names-to-pre-populate-the-names-fields#post-18167 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 01:11:33 +0000 Carl Hancock 18167@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Contact us via our Contact Us form and provide us with a WordPress admin login and FTP login for this site and a detailed description of what you are trying to do and we can look into this, check out your code and see what you are doing wrong. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/right-parameter-names-to-pre-populate-the-names-fields#post-18151 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 00:34:09 +0000 azazure 18151@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK, I must be stupid. I am editing the correct functions.php file now in my atahualpa theme and have set the form fields to populate but nothing happens. I have read the instructions and edited the form a hundred times to make sure I'm doing it correctly, but I just can't get it to work. I even tried a different field (email) to see if it would work, but no dice. Here is the code I'm putting at the top of my functions.php file:</p> <p>'&lt;?php</p> <p>// populate the field with "user_firstname" as the population parameter with the "first_name" of the current user<br /> add_filter('gform_field_value_user_firstname', create_function("", '$value = populate_usermeta(\'first_name\'); return $value;' ));</p> <p>// populate the field with "user_lastname" as the population parameter with the "last_name" of the current user<br /> add_filter('gform_field_value_user_lastname', create_function("", '$value = populate_usermeta(\'last_name\'); return $value;' ));</p> <p>// populate the field with "user_email" as the population parameter with the "user_email" of the current user<br /> add_filter('gform_field_value_user_email', create_function("", '$value = populate_usermeta(\'user_email\'); return $value;' ));</p> <p>// this function is called by both filters and returns the requested user meta of the current user<br /> function populate_usermeta($meta_key){<br /> global $current_user;<br /> get_currentuserinfo();</p> <p> foreach($current_user as $key =&gt; $value){<br /> if($key == $meta_key)<br /> return $value;<br /> }</p> <p> return '';<br /> }</p> <p>?&gt;' </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/right-parameter-names-to-pre-populate-the-names-fields#post-18135 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 22:13:05 +0000 azazure 18135@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you, I was not aware that there was more than one functions.php. I made a backup copy of the file before I edited it so when it quit working I quickly replaced it with the original! Thank you for your response, it is greatly appreciated.

You were supposed to add that code to the functions.php file in your active theme. Please replace wp-includes/functions.php with a stock copy and then make the modification to the functions.php in your theme folder. I think it will work for you then.</p> <p>If you cannot undo the edits you made, you can always get a fresh copy of the file here:<br /> <a href="http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/3.0.4/wp-includes/functions.php" rel="nofollow">http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/3.0.4/wp-includes/functions.php</a> </p>
