I did find something interesting while playing around. I use the following code for checking to see if the value is blank or not.</p> <p>$sourceurl = get_post_custom_values("url"); if ($sourceurl !='' )<br /> If I echo $sourceurl I get the blog URL but the interesting thing is if I change the code to</p> <p>$sourceurl = get_post_custom_values("url"); if ($sourceurl[0] !='' )</p> <p>Then the if statement works fine. The only problem is if they don't put http:// for the reference URL then the address that gets echoed is my blog URL + the reference URL. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-post-field-issue#post-24941 Fri, 06 May 2011 13:58:02 +0000 Carl Hancock 24941@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms doesn't automatically pre-populate fields, so that isn't expected behavior. Do you have any custom code implemented or have you setup a default value for that field? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-post-field-issue#post-24937 Fri, 06 May 2011 13:34:37 +0000 hamedhemmati 24937@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I use a custom post field as an optional field to show data. The logic checks to see if the user has entered any text in there if so then it displays it. I use the field for post references so users enter the URL of the reference site. The problem I am having is when users leave this field blank through gravity forms it automatically assigns the URL of the blog page as the value.</p> <p>Is this an expected behavior? </p>
