So it's just adding the title (in my case) to the end of the URL that I use for people to click on.<br /> Cannot show you anything yet as it is all local, but I understand it loud and clear now :)<br /> Thanks again for your fast response!<br /> Piet </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populating-a-form-silly-question#post-135314 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:17:07 +0000 Chris Hajer 135314@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Do you have any of these forms online now where we can see what you're doing?</p> <p>Basically, you will mark the field in your form "Allow field to be populated dynamically" and then give it a parameter name (eventtitle?)</p> <p>Then, in the link to the form page, on your events page, you will add this to the end of the link:</p> <p><a href="http://example.com/my-form-is-here/?eventtitle=Super" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/my-form-is-here/?eventtitle=Super</a> Awesome Event Tomorrow</p> <p>And that will populate the field in your form with the event title "Super Awesome Event Tomorrow". </p> <p>Documentation is here: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populating-a-form-silly-question#post-135287 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:45:05 +0000 Piet 135287@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm a bit confused about the whole dynamically populating of a form.</p> <p>I have several events and want to use the title of the event to be the dynamic parameter for when people make a reservation for these events.</p> <p>I understand what code I need to add to my <code>functions.php</code> file, but what I don't understand is how I get people from the event page to the reservations page that has the form with the field that then hopefully will become populated dynamically.</p> <p>Silly question? </p>
