The server crashed 8 times because of it !! That's why you couldn't bring the site up before.</p> <p>I will check out cart66 thank you. </p> <p>I've also bought a price calculator from woo commerce that enables you to sell your products per metre incrimentally i.e 6.6 metres. It calculates the price correctly, but doesn't integrate with shipping weight calculation, so whether you buy 1 metre or 30 metres it still thinks that the product in the basket weighs 1 kilo. What another waste of what would otherwise have been a good plug in!!</p> <p>Anyway, slowly losing my will to continue with woocommerce.</p> <p>Checkout the very complicated Gravity form which is now embedded in the lightbox, it's GREAT, just need to integrate it. Very pleased with my gravity forms purchase, thank you.</p> <p><a href="http://lowwoodsfurnishings.co.uk/product/como-aubergine-by-voyage-copy" rel="nofollow">http://lowwoodsfurnishings.co.uk/product/como-aubergine-by-voyage-copy</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/help-dynamically-populate-fields-via-shortcode-not-working#post-177406 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 22:26:14 +0000 Chris Hajer 177406@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just visited your page and it looks like WooCommerce is still active?

I was barely able to load the site today, and the page took forever to actually completely load. The page loads extremely slowly. I could never log in to the wp-admin even, to take a look at this.</p> <p>Please try embedding the form in a post or page that does not integrate with woocommerce. Will that page come up quickly?</p> <p>Also, you can check for theme and plugin conflicts by utilizing these troubleshooting steps <a href="http://rkt.gs/testing" rel="nofollow">http://rkt.gs/testing</a></p> <p>You need to get the site to load reliably before we will be able to help you resolve your dynamic population issue. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/help-dynamically-populate-fields-via-shortcode-not-working#post-176511 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 05:59:04 +0000 dawnyjacques 176511@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,<br /> Yes...strange, I have managed to get the fields to populate dynamically, but it wasn't working before because when I set certain fields to be hidden from the front end the calculations no longer worked.

I am trying to populate two fields on the same form using short code.<br /> I started with one field &amp; used the code:</p> <p>[gravityform id="2" name="To calculate how much fabric that you require please click here." ajax="true" field_values='price_metre=22']</p> <p>Which worked fine.<br /> I then added another field like this:</p> <p>[gravityform id="2" name="To calculate how much fabric that you require please click here." ajax="true" field_values='price_metre=22&amp;pattern_repeat=1]</p> <p>Then neither field worked and the code go changed on updating the post to:<br /> [gravityform id="2" name="To calculate how much fabric that you require please click here." ajax="true"  field_values=&#39;price_metre=22?amp;Pattern_repeat=1&#39;]</p> <p>So then I tried 2 codes &amp; I have:<br /> [gravityform id="2" name="To calculate how much fabric that you require please click here." ajax="true" ]<br /> [gravityform id=2 field_values=&#39;price_metre=22?amp;Pattern_repeat=1&#39;]</p> <p>This doesn't work either.</p> <p>Not sure if this is normal for the code to get changed on update from " ' " to "&amp;#039" or is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?</p> <p>Much appreciate some help.<br /> Thanks Dawn </p>
