We also let them create additional variables for use on the landing pages, and we generate short codes for those too ([epurl_customfield]).</p> <p>I want to integrate with GravityForms but when I put [epurl_firstname] into a field's default value, it just shows up as text, rather than rendering.</p> <p>Is there a way to use the filter above (or a hook) to tell all forms (not a specific form) to look for short codes and resolve them, before rendering the form? </p>
