I am looking to do something similar (post to external form)</p> <p>It looks like your code simply populates a new &lt;form&gt; with data. It's not doing any actual submitting. I think you should be able to use Wp_http to submit the form via a post.</p> <p>Some info: <a href="http://planetozh.com/blog/2009/08/how-to-make-http-requests-with-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">http://planetozh.com/blog/2009/08/how-to-make-http-requests-with-wordpress/</a></p> <p>if I solve my problem, I'll share it here! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-submit-form-to-external-location-formtoolsorg#post-27932 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 13:08:24 +0000 Carl Hancock 27932@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am not familiar with formtools.org or how to use it or integrate with it to know if your code is correct or not.

Help! I have put in the custom code into my functions.php. This is what I have added to my functions.php. My Gravity form id is 1. Please help as I tried your form plus other plugin but none can solve my problem. I have spend 1 whole day to solve this. I need the form to submit to my existing formtools.org database.</p> <p>For the input text i purposely use 'text' and 'hidden' just to check whether it does affect the form submission.</p> <p><a href="http://www.pastie.org/private/vqjkwwbsaj1fqkq0k1yv9a" rel="nofollow">http://www.pastie.org/private/vqjkwwbsaj1fqkq0k1yv9a</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-submit-form-to-external-location-formtoolsorg#post-27892 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 01:59:07 +0000 Carl Hancock 27892@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, your custom code would go in your themes functions.php file. You could also place it in a custom plugin that you create and then activate, but that is up to you. Usually easier just to place it in functions.php. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-submit-form-to-external-location-formtoolsorg#post-27887 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 22:25:25 +0000 bari86 27887@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I only need to put in custom code in functions.php right? as far as what I can see in the documentation, i on the right track. i really not sure where went wrong. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-submit-form-to-external-location-formtoolsorg#post-27840 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 13:58:03 +0000 Carl Hancock 27840@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would have to write custom code and use the gform_post_submission hook to do this. You can't change the form action because Gravity Forms manages the data. So you can use the gform_post_submission hook, which has access to the Entry object containing the data, and execute any PHP code you want using this data... including posting it to a 3rd party location.</p> <p>Documentation for the gform_post_submission hook can be found here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_submission</a></p> <p>Documentation for the Entry object can be found here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Entry_Object" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Entry_Object</a></p> <p>You would place your custom code in your themes functions.php file. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-submit-form-to-external-location-formtoolsorg#post-27819 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 05:39:06 +0000 bari86 27819@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What I am trying to do is when my gravity form submits, the form will post data to external url.
