It's very easy to populate fields in the form using a GET (query string) but dynamic population via POST is not built in. </p> <p>There are hooks available to pre-populate values. You could parse the $_POST and then populate the values in your form before displaying it, but it would require some PHP code in your theme's functions.php file.</p> <p>There might be another way to do it as well. Here are the ways you can pre-populate the fields in a form using built in functionality:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population</a></p> <p>Please see if something sounds like it will work for you before you make a purchase. Feel free to ask more questions as well. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-forms-be-pre-filling-in-with-information-from-a-post-request#post-42094 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 05:03:07 +0000 Shauny 42094@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a custom form built on my site but we now need PayPal payments added to the form, so I am going to try Gravity Forms but before I do I need to know if this will work.</p> <p>The visitor browses the site and clicks an event he wishes to book. This sends him to a form with a POST request filling in the details of the event he clicked. He then fills in the form and sends it.</p> <p>Will I be able to keep this functionality with Gravity Forms?</p> <p>Note that the pre-filled in stuff is not in a form field, it is in a box on the side and shown with PHP. I have a screenshot of what I mean here: <a href="http://imgur.com/EhBaF" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/EhBaF</a></p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Shaun </p>
