It works great in my posting form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-i-fill-in-a-custom-field-with-another-custom-field-info-within-same-form#post-18802 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 12:35:54 +0000 Carl Hancock 18802@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>In the content template for the custom field you would use the "Insert form field" drop down that appears just above it and select the image field, it will then show a second drop down to select the size. See this screenshot:</p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/90qL" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/90qL</a></p> <p>You pick the size of the image you want to insert into the custom field. Don't pick one of the sizes with the alignment options, those are for when you are inserting it into the post body because it includes the HTML markup to do those standard WordPress alignments. So just pick the size type.</p> <p>Once you do that it will then insert a form field variable that will look something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/90qY" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/90qY</a></p> <p>Now we need to do a minor manual adjustment to the variable. If you leave it as is it's going to put markup in the custom field and wrap the image in an HTML img tag, it isn't going to output just the SRC url to the image itself. To output the SRC url to just the image itself as the value of the custom field we would modify the variable. See this screenshot:</p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/90r8" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/90r8</a></p> <p>So by changing our post image variable from something like this:</p> <p>{Post Image:3:thumbnail}</p> <p>To this:</p> <p>{Post Image:3:thumbnail:url}</p> <p>It will not output the full URL path to the image rather than the HTML markup that displays the image.</p> <p>Please keep in mind the variable names are form specific to my examples above may not work on your form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-i-fill-in-a-custom-field-with-another-custom-field-info-within-same-form#post-18792 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 11:56:45 +0000 mssbeen 18792@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What did you put into the content template to configure it to retrieve the image url?<br /> Also can this be done with multiple image uploads? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-i-fill-in-a-custom-field-with-another-custom-field-info-within-same-form#post-18252 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 19:08:59 +0000 blogginginc 18252@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Done, works perfectly, thanks a lot. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-i-fill-in-a-custom-field-with-another-custom-field-info-within-same-form#post-18251 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:51:49 +0000 Carl Hancock 18251@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>To hide this Post Custom Field do the following...</p> <p>- Edit the field<br /> - Select the Advanced tab<br /> - Under Visibility select "Admin Only"<br /> - Save your form </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-i-fill-in-a-custom-field-with-another-custom-field-info-within-same-form#post-18250 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:45:16 +0000 blogginginc 18250@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I installed the 1.5 version, and configured the Post Custom Field to be filled in with the Post Image url.</p> <p>I suppose that the post custom field should be a hidden field since it will be generated by gravity itself rather than the user, is this correct?.

It's available on the Downloads page. The content template functionality is an option on the Post Custom Field if you are running the 1.5 development release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-i-fill-in-a-custom-field-with-another-custom-field-info-within-same-form#post-18247 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:13:40 +0000 blogginginc 18247@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have the Multi Site Support License, so I guess this option is not available to me. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-i-fill-in-a-custom-field-with-another-custom-field-info-within-same-form#post-18242 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:04:10 +0000 Carl Hancock 18242@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can do this with the 1.5 development release by using the content template functionality of the Post Custom Field which allows you to create a content template and use field values to generate the value of the field that is stored in WordPress. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-i-fill-in-a-custom-field-with-another-custom-field-info-within-same-form#post-18239 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:49:24 +0000 blogginginc 18239@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I know that similar questions have been posted before, but I need to be sure if this exactly the same thing I need to achieve.</p> <p>I need a custom field to be populated with information from another custom field (specifically image field), all this within the same form.</p> <p>Example.</p> <p>Field 1: Post Image.<br /> Field 2: Custom Field.</p> <p>When the user uploads the image in the first field, the second field will be populated with the direct image url.
