This works quite a bit better. I do have one more question though; (though not sure if I should paste it here or in another thread separately). I despise inline css as I have always used either an external style sheet or at minimum an internal style sheet. In this case, I would be interested in using an internal style-sheet over external. I know this goes in the head tag. Is the head tag for this email created from a function, or can I simply add the head tag in the notification customization area in the dashboard? Thanks!

It just doesn't have any variables. A couple things to test for. Can you see if the $_POST variable has values? You can do this by adding this code to you functions.php right inside your function. Put it at line 6 right before you try to grab all the variables. <pre><code>[php] wp_mail('youremail@gmail.com', 'POST variables from form 1 submission', print_r($_POST,TRUE)); return $form; exit;</code></pre> Make sure that exit; is before line 7: "/ give the _POST variables more normal names". You just want to short circuit this function and see what the $_POST variable contains. That will dump the $_POST variable and email it to you. We need to see if it has all the values you need. If not, we need to figure out why. I can't find anything wrong with the code you posted. shelzmike on "{all_fields} is there a way to control how this looks in an email?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/all_fields-is-there-a-way-to-control-how-this-looks-in-an-email#post-33554 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 12:19:46 +0000 shelzmike 33554@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks for the info. So, I followed the instructions listed above and spent quite awhile coding (our form is an online web application that is really large - though I must say Gravity handles it very well!) and I am not getting the results I expected. Here is what I did: 1.) Changed the 'gform_pre_submission_filter_1' (as this is form ID 1) 2.) Created variables based on the ID's I got from inspecting the HTML using Firebug 3.) Wrote the HTML for the email accordingly (and corresponding to the template given above) 4.) Add this entire code to functions.php 5.) Filled out another application as a test (cannot wait for 1.6 so that I can just resubmit :) ) Here is what happened: I immediately got an email with the ORIGINAL formatting (blue/white/alternating table style that I am trying to change) Then, about 2 minutes later, I got an email of what looks like half of my custom HTML email. All of my regular text is showing; however, none of my variables are showing up. Here is the code: (bear in mind, this is still very rough, since it is the first iteration, I just used separate lines for each item to make tweaking easier. Then, I think I will go back and make it pretty). Here is the web url: <a href="http://www.webapps.acsdish.com/acs-employment-application" rel="nofollow">http://www.webapps.acsdish.com/acs-employment-application</a> Here is the code I wrote: <a href="http://pastie.org/2428578" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/2428578</a> Here is the result that I got in email: <a href="http://pastie.org/2428594" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/2428594</a> It appears as though it is just not pulling in the variables.

The id's will be visible in the form output as the id's for the inputs, etc. shelzmike on "{all_fields} is there a way to control how this looks in an email?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/all_fields-is-there-a-way-to-control-how-this-looks-in-an-email#post-33242 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:07:21 +0000 shelzmike 33242@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Great solution, though I have not tried it yet, but very straightforward. I had the exact same problem as the OP did here. Your solution looks straight-forward enough. However, i did have one question. Where can I find the input values of each field? (i.e. input_1_3, etc.) Once I figure that out, I will be unstoppable. :) Mike Chris Hajer on "{all_fields} is there a way to control how this looks in an email?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/all_fields-is-there-a-way-to-control-how-this-looks-in-an-email#post-31569 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:44:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 31569@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ @cowebdev I was able to work something out using the gform_pre_submission_filter filter. Here's the code I used: <a href="http://pastie.org/2315100" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/2315100</a> Add that to your functions.php. Change the _12 on the end of the filter to match your form ID. Here's a test form where you can see it working in the confirmation you receive. Leave some of the fields blank to see if the heading still comes through in the notification email. Use your own email address to be sure you get the confirmation. <a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/testing-the-post/" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/testing-the-post/</a> The code is commented and is hopefully self-explanatory. Please post if you need help getting it to work.

That merge code was designed with "helper" styles for those who didn't want to spend a lot of time customizing their notification messages. The notifications allow HTML so you can use the individual field merge codes mixed with your own HTML markup to create your very own unique layout and styles. Go wild and create whatever layout you'd like. That's how the notification message settings were intended to work.

Of course, you can, but it makes upgrading difficult. After I posted my last response I started looking into how to filter the confirmation email and I am working on some proof of concept code. I will post that within the hour if it works as expected.
