To clarify for anyone wanting to use this: the value of the custom field you pass will override whatever is set in the admin area under the notifications &gt; send to email field for the form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/contact-form-populated-email#post-2821 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:39:09 +0000 Josh 2821@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Jan, I wanted to let you know that I've partially implemented this, but got pulled away and haven't had a chance to go back and finish. I'll let you know how it goes as soon as I get it done. I just wanted to say thanks, because it LOOKS like it's going to work fine.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/contact-form-populated-email#post-2717 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 04:59:20 +0000 Jan Egbert 2717@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This should work if you change the 2 in gform_notification_email_2 to the id of the form you added to your template. You can find the ID in your WordPress backend in the form list. Also if the meta key for the custom field containing the emailaddress is different, you would have to change that. In this example I used the meta key of email_value.</p> <pre><code>add_filter( &#39;gform_notification_email_2&#39;, &#39;route_notification&#39;, 10, 2 ); function route_notification($email_to, $entry){ global $post; $email_to = get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, &quot;email_value&quot;, true); return $email_to; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/contact-form-populated-email#post-2708 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:27:37 +0000 Carl Hancock 2708@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Shelley, hit me up via the Contact Us form with details on what you want to do and we can see what the time/effort would be to accomplish what you want to do.

I don't have the in-house technical expertise to give it a go. Do you have any suggestions on who to contract for this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/contact-form-populated-email#post-2665 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:15:30 +0000 MetVisualMedia 2665@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Carl,</p> <p>One last question. outside of continuing to troubleshoot email problems on my server, I'm not sure the author email is populating the field. It may be because I'm not specifying the proper parameter via the advanced settings in the form for that field. Using Jan's first code snippet, which parameter should I be using?</p> <p>Thanks again for all the help </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/contact-form-populated-email#post-2662 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:49:14 +0000 Carl Hancock 2662@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>PHP should go in your themes functions.php file, if the code is placed properly in your function.php file, it should work. You may need to double check the code to make sure the syntax is correct and that it appears within a php code block. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/contact-form-populated-email#post-2661 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:29:52 +0000 MetVisualMedia 2661@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl,</p> <p>In respect to that very thread in which Jan replied, I need a little guidance on where I should be placing the filters. I've tried putting them in the theme functions but no dice.</p> <p>Suggestions? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/contact-form-populated-email#post-2649 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:22:13 +0000 Carl Hancock 2649@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Shelley,</p> <p>What you can do is create a custom page template that only displays the contact form if the email_value field has a value. You would need to display the form using the function call. So if email_value exists then display the form.</p> <p>You can override the notification email TO field using a hook. You can read how another user (Jan Egbert) has accomplished this here:</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-form-to-author-of-post" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-form-to-author-of-post</a></p> <p>In his example he is routing the notification to the author of the post. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/contact-form-populated-email#post-2644 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:34:54 +0000 Josh 2644@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Also, it just occurred to me that some of our employees don't have email. I'd very much like for the form to not show up in those cases. </p>
