Though double check that it gets picked up properly and sent along. vmanepete on "Capture http referrer url in hidden field" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/capture-http-referrer-url-in-hidden-field#post-62363 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 23:48:33 +0000 vmanepete 62363@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ David, I tried implementing this with ZOHO CRM. Looks like, when adding the HIdden Field to your form you may have to also select "HTTP Refererl URL" under Insert Merge Tag dropdown. Is this correct? silverscape on "Capture http referrer url in hidden field" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/capture-http-referrer-url-in-hidden-field#post-59158 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:09:50 +0000 silverscape 59158@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks so much for the quick reply! I will give this go and revert back to you.....I appreciate the step-by-step approach!

FORM SET-UP You will need a field to put in the referrer URL so that it gets saved to the entries table in Gravity Forms. <ol> <li>Create a Hidden Field in your Form. (Hidden FIelds are in the Standard Fields set)</li> <li> Give it a label (Ref URL) - The label isn't important but helpful</li> <li> Under the Advanced Tab, click the check box for Allow Field to be Populated Dynamically</li> <li>Give it a Parameter Name (refurl)</li> </ol> FUNCTIONS.PHP Changes You will need to create a function to grab the referrer URL and pass it to the hidden field. #1 - In your theme's function.php file you will need to create a filter using the gform_field_value_$parameter_name hook: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name</a> It will look like the following: <pre><code>add_filter("gform_field_value_refurl", "referral_url");</code></pre> As you can see, I used the parameter name that I put in above (refurl). #2 - Next we will need to code the referral_url function to grab the URL and then put it into the hidden field. <pre><code>function referral_url($form){ //Grab URL from HTTP Server Var and put it into a variable $refurl = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; //Return that value to the form return esc_url_raw($refurl); }</code></pre> FINAL NOTES Now, if everything has been done correctly, when the form is loaded, the function will be called to grab the referral page and put the value into a hidden field. Then when you look at your entries, you should see which page lead them to your form. silverscape on "Capture http referrer url in hidden field" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/capture-http-referrer-url-in-hidden-field#post-59155 Wed, 16 May 2012 11:13:21 +0000 silverscape 59155@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I wish to capture the url of the referring url prior to landing on the form page. I note that there is a merge field called 'embed url' but oddly no 'referral url' which I would think would be a standard, powerful feature of Gravity forms? This suggests there is some additional coding / jquery to do in the headers etc which I am reluctant to do :) Can anyone provide a step-by-step dummy proof mechanism to capture the referral url in my existing form without jumping through too many hoops? Thanks so much J jrothca on "Passing Geo Location to Gravity Form" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-geo-location-to-gravity-form#post-51985 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:49:22 +0000 jrothca 51985@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Here's how I did it. Save lat long data to wordpress 1. Set gravity form to save the lat and long data to the wordpress custom fields 'geo_latitude' and 'geo_longitude' (without the quotes, these (2) field names are supported by many geo location plugins for wordpress) Display location data in the post 1. I used the plugin Geo Mashup. You can use others as long as they support Wordpress Geodata Meta Fields . In the general setting you need to turn on 'Copy Geodata Meta Fields' (turning this on enables the plugin to use the lat and long data that is saved in the custom fields you created above) 2. Use one of Geo Mashup's many shortcodes or template tags to display the location data in your post. Use the template tags in your php files to have the location data automatically displayed to posts or index page. stuarthenshall on "Passing Geo Location to Gravity Form" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-geo-location-to-gravity-form#post-51859 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 09:49:54 +0000 stuarthenshall 51859@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Ok.. Some questions. My intent was to capture longitude and latitude (as above) and then use the CustomFields plug-in for gravity forms to add a geolocation element to the post. CustomFields recognizes the Wordpress Geolocation plug-in. As the form is submitted the blog post is created. However, the location data isn't posted with the blog? Help appreciated. Thanks stuarthenshall on "Passing Geo Location to Gravity Form" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-geo-location-to-gravity-form#post-51841 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:38:36 +0000 stuarthenshall 51841@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks for sharing! This worked for me and happened to be the same approach I'd been going down. I think geolocation should be supported more easily with gravity forms. jrothca on "Passing Geo Location to Gravity Form" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-geo-location-to-gravity-form#post-48369 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:00:18 +0000 jrothca 48369@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I figured it out. It's most likely hack. If a GF employee could explain how to use hooks to do this, it would be helpful. This is what I did to get it to work. I put this in my header file to have the script loaded: '<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script> <script> google.load("jquery", "1.4.1"); </script>' I put this in my page template that has the gravity form on it. '<script> navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition( function(pos) { $("#input_1_12").val(pos.coords.latitude); $("#input_1_13").val(pos.coords.longitude); } ); </script>' The input_1_12 & input_1_13 variables correspond to the 'input ID' the gravity form creates. When the page loads the browser dynamically populates the form with input ID input_1_12 for latitude & input_1_13 for longitude. The input_1_12 number will very depending on how many GF's you've created and how many input fields you have on your form.

Try using the Easy FancyBox plugin then set your link up like this example: <code><a title="Contact Us" href="#fancyboxID-1" rel="nofollow">Ask a Question</a></code> Then you need to add this code to page... <code><div style="display:none" class="fancybox-hidden"><div id="fancyboxID-1">[gravityform id="1" ajax="true"]</div></div></code> Of course change your gravity form id number to match your form. You can see an example on my site <a href="http://flatfeerealty.com/contact/" rel="nofollow">http://flatfeerealty.com/contact/</a> then click the button in the left box.
