I was close, the above code works perfectly I just wasn't calling the correct parameter name. All I had to do was change "gform_field_value_categoryid" to "gform_field_value_category" as that was the name I had given the parameter. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/display-form-on-category-link#post-45777 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 12:12:40 +0000 Jeroen1973 45777@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris, I am still somewhat of a novice I feel and I do appreciate your help. I have added the index.php (which loads all my categories) to a pastie here <a href="http://pastie.org/3143768" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/3143768</a> Line 90 is where I call the form. You can view the form on any of my category pages. here is 1 example <a href="http://freeineurope.com/category/free-tourist-attractions-in-netherlands-holland/" rel="nofollow">http://freeineurope.com/category/free-tourist-attractions-in-netherlands-holland/</a></p> <p>The Post Category field currently displays a drop down box with the option to select any of the categories in my blog. However in the case of the Holland Category linked above I want this field to be pre-populated with the "Holland" Category.</p> <p>I found the below code on this forum ( <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamically-populate-field-using-variable" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamically-populate-field-using-variable</a> ) without success</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_field_value_categoryid&quot;, &quot;populate_categoryid&quot;); function populate_categoryid($value){ return get_query_var(&#39;cat&#39;); }</code></pre> <p>Please advise if you need more information. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/display-form-on-category-link#post-45675 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:55:28 +0000 Chris Hajer 45675@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Please share some of the code you're using, template files, your theme's functions.php, etc. Use pastie.org or pastebin.com if the code examples are lengthy.

You can read more about that <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form#Function_Call" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p> <p>When you do that, you can use WordPress functions to get the category and populate the category field dynamically. Do you use specific templates for each category, or one archive.php or other file for all your categories? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/display-form-on-category-link#post-45281 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 13:40:28 +0000 Jeroen1973 45281@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would like to display a "Post to this Category" form on the main category pages. I would also like the category field dynamically populated with the current category being viewed. </p> <p>Please let me know if more information is required.</p> <p>Regards Jeroen. </p>
