Thank you very much.</p> <p>Best Greetings from Montreal! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/different-default-value-of-a-field-depending-on-the-referrer#post-2702 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:25:01 +0000 Alex Cancado 2702@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Adrien,<br /> You can set the the selected value of a drop down based on a query string parameter. Try the following:<br /> 1- In the form editor, select your drop down field, go to the advanced tab and check the "Allow field to be populated dynamically" field. Enter a parameter name for it (i.e. mydropdown)<br /> 2- When linking to the page/post that has the form, create your url passing the value you want selected in the quey string. For example, if you have an item in your drop down called "Cars", you would use the following url: <a href="http://your_url.com/my-page/?mydropdown=Cars" rel="nofollow">http://your_url.com/my-page/?mydropdown=Cars</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/different-default-value-of-a-field-depending-on-the-referrer#post-2698 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:30:56 +0000 adrien 2698@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Carl. I thought that would be possible to add a PHP parameter on the URL where the form is. The default value of the drop down would be taken depending on the value of the parameter. How does this sound? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/different-default-value-of-a-field-depending-on-the-referrer#post-2657 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:47:08 +0000 Carl Hancock 2657@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I will have to test and see if this is possible. It is possible to set the default value of a field using PHP, but I need to look into how to set the default value of a DROP DOWN and if it is possible with the existing API hooks. I'll keep you posted. It might be tomorrow before I can get back with you on this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/different-default-value-of-a-field-depending-on-the-referrer#post-2653 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:15:12 +0000 adrien 2653@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Here is a "simple" thing I want my form to do. I want the default value of the 5th visible field of the form accessible below (which is a drop down) to be different depending on the page the person came from.<br /> <a href="http://b-unique.ca/adwords/contact/" rel="nofollow">http://b-unique.ca/adwords/contact/</a></p> <p>Any idea on how to do this?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>- Adrien O'Leary </p>
