I only sent a support request because I didn't get a answer here.</p> <p>Your answer sounds terribly complex to implement, yet social booking plugins seem to be able to grab the URL from the loop with ease. . . </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed_url-returns-the-index-page-url#post-48197 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:17:18 +0000 Carl Hancock 48197@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This information was sent to you in response to your Priority Support request for the same question. Here was out response:</p> <p>The embed_url is NOT going to be the post or page permalink for the specific post or page if it's being displayed in a loop. </p> <p>This is going to be the URL of the page (not "page" as in a WordPress page, but the page/url loaded in the browser) that the form was submitted from and in this case the page URL is <a href="http://nicholsoncartoons.com.au/page/7" rel="nofollow">http://nicholsoncartoons.com.au/page/7</a> and not the permalink of the individual post that may be displayed on that page.</p> <p>If you want to store the permalink of the specific post in situations where you are displaying them in a loop like this because you don't want the actual URL of the page that is loaded in the browser then you'd have to implement this as a customization.</p> <p>You'd have to add a hidden field on your form to store this value, you'd then have to set it so it can be populated dynamically. You would then need to add custom PHP to your theme template so that it gets the permalink for that specific post and populates the field with it.</p> <p>So what you want to do can be done, but it would have to be done as a customization. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed_url-returns-the-index-page-url#post-48129 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:55:53 +0000 extreme-south 48129@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>*bump* </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed_url-returns-the-index-page-url#post-48034 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:52:46 +0000 extreme-south 48034@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>*bump* </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed_url-returns-the-index-page-url#post-47968 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:40:57 +0000 extreme-south 47968@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Throw me a crumb here . . . . </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed_url-returns-the-index-page-url#post-47925 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:26:18 +0000 extreme-south 47925@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No way to do this ?? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed_url-returns-the-index-page-url#post-47776 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:45:10 +0000 extreme-south 47776@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Just as an addition to this: the social media links I'm using in these posts don't have an issue "knowing" they are part of the post and not the index page, so hopefully I can hook into the same functionality? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed_url-returns-the-index-page-url#post-47702 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:59:35 +0000 extreme-south 47702@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a large image-based site where each post contains one image. The site is configured to show "full text" of each post in the index pages. </p> <p>In each post I've embedded a "purchase this image" form. To know what image people want I've used the embed_URL and embed_title hidden fields.</p> <p>The problem is that if someone fills out the form while browsing on the index page, and submits, the URL returned is always just the top post's URL on that particular index page, NOT the post they're actually ordering from.</p> <p>Obviously if they go into the full post and then submit it is OK. But there's no reason for anyone to do that since each post is just an image, and forcing people to do that to order will make the process confusing.</p> <p>I can see the logic of what the form is doing, since the browser URL is the index page. But Is there any way to get the embed_URL command to pick up the post URL?</p> <p>thanks </p>
