I was trying to call $entry[32] within a function. But when I passed the value to the function it worked:</p> <pre><code>function add_coords($cat_id, $coord_input) { add_terms_meta($cat_id[&#39;term_id&#39;], &#39;category_meta_latitude&#39;, $coord_input); } add_coords($named_id, $entry[32]);</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-get-entry-or-form-value-from-field-with-underscore#post-30335 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:05:23 +0000 David Smith 30335@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Caseym,</p> <p>Try using the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php" rel="nofollow">print_r()</a> function to output the entire <strong>$entry</strong> array and see if there is a value for that index at all. If there is no value stored, could you explain how the hidden field is populated? I was not clear on that. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-get-entry-or-form-value-from-field-with-underscore#post-30235 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:06:05 +0000 caseym 30235@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Here's a link to my form:</p> <p><a href="http://pcsreports.com/submit-review" rel="nofollow">http://pcsreports.com/submit-review</a></p> <p>The hidden field I'm trying to get the value for is 6_32 and I'm referencing it in my code as:</p> <pre><code>add_action(&quot;gform_post_submission_6&quot;, &quot;create_cat&quot;); function create_cat($entry, $form){ //add coords to category meta function add_coords($cat_id) { add_terms_meta($cat_id[&#39;term_id&#39;], &#39;category_meta_latitude&#39;, $entry[32]); } ... lots of other code }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-get-entry-or-form-value-from-field-with-underscore#post-30227 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 17:36:12 +0000 Chris Hajer 30227@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There is nothing special about the underscore fields. The underscore just hides them from the custom fields drop down in the post editor. Please post a link to your form and the code you're using so we can see where the problem might lie. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-get-entry-or-form-value-from-field-with-underscore#post-30222 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 15:55:18 +0000 caseym 30222@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>When I set up WPGeo, it had me create two fields for lat/long, labeled like this:</p> <p>_wp_geo_latitude<br /> _wp_geo_longitude</p> <p>I'm trying to access those values using gform_post_submission, but I'm not getting anything the normal way, $entry[32]. Is there something special about using an underscore? Can I access this value another way?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Casey </p>
