Glad you were able to work it out. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-post-author#post-74803 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 11:31:55 +0000 Shunarjuna 74803@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Never mind, I figured it out.<br /> I was putting the wrong thing in the "Allow field to be populated dynamically" field. Instead of putting populate_post_author_email, I was meant to put author_email.<br /> It's all working fine now. (Maybe a quick edit of the tutorial I is in order - It didn't actually say what is meant to go in the Allow field to be populated dynamically field. Just a suggestion) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-post-author#post-74794 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 10:37:01 +0000 Shunarjuna 74794@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm sorry for being such a spaz, I know this question has come up a number of times but I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong.</p> <p>I followed the steps in this tutorial; <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_the_Post_Author" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_the_Post_Author</a>, pasting this code into my functions.php<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_field_value_author_email&#39;, &#39;populate_post_author_email&#39;); function populate_post_author_email($value){ global $post; $author_email = get_the_author_meta(&#39;email&#39;, $post-&gt;post_author); return $author_email; }</code></pre> <p>I then created a form with an email field. Selected "Allow field to be populated dynamically", then put in this value: populate_post_author_email</p> <p>In the notifications section, under "Notification to User" I selected the email field in the "Send To Field"</p> <p>When I tested the form I noticed two things. First, the field I tried to dynamically populate was empty, second, only admin got notification of the email.</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated.<br /> Thanks.</p> <p>Website - <a href="http://www.teachmemusic.com.au" rel="nofollow">http://www.teachmemusic.com.au</a><br /> Example form - <a href="http://www.teachmemusic.com.au/listings/test-search-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.teachmemusic.com.au/listings/test-search-2/</a> </p>
