Let me know if you have any questions. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-user-profile-field-populates-hidden-field-in-form#post-39617 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:10:50 +0000 Chris Hajer 39617@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Bo, I responded to your email. The information is being stored in three separate tables:</p> <ul> <li>wp_cimy_uef_data</li> <li>wp_cimy_uef_fields</li> <li>wp_cimy_uef_wp_fields</li> </ul> <p>I thought those tables came from this plugin:<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/</a></p> <p>In any event, the data is not stored in the usermeta table, so the merge tag of {user:company-brand-name} will not work, because a) the name of the meta key in your screencase is COMPANYBRANDNAME not company-brand-name and b) it's not part of the usermeta table.</p> <p>To use the merge tag of {user:metakey} the meta key needs to be part of the usermeta table and record for that user.</p> <p>To get the information out of those other tables, you will need to use whatever functions the plugin provides for accessing those tables.</p> <p>If this information does exist in the the usermeta table, I will need to see another screencast to see how it's being stored.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-user-profile-field-populates-hidden-field-in-form#post-39183 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:00:31 +0000 Chris Hajer 39183@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have it Bo.

I can get you a username and password to the site which might help make this a bit more clear. Would that help to be able to see the form as well as the admin side and then I can describe the issue further?

How is it being stored right now?

I'd like that information to pre populate a hidden field in a form. What I have is this:</p> <p>Designer Name<br /> [ {user:company-brand-name} ] in the short text field. Can you guys provide some insight as to what I am doing wrong in calling the custom user profile field? Thanks, </p>
