I found a custom field/custom post plugin:<br /> "Ultimate Post Type Manager"</p> <p>Here I can make the metadata I want on custom posts.<br /> 1. Make a custom post type "product"<br /> 2. Make fields for details like price and different configuration variants.</p> <p>Now I would like to make the orderform which get the metadata from the different posts and their configurations...</p> <p>The "GravityForm+custom field" enable a dropdown for population so that I can get the "product" post type. Now I am just missing the get "custom field" function.</p> <p>And I guess your ex. with post_author could work but I cant seem to rewrite to make it work...help </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-prepopulate-a-field-from-a-custom-field#post-49270 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:14:51 +0000 David Smith 49270@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here is a walk through for populating the Post Author. You can use this same concept to populate a custom field. Just use the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta" rel="nofollow">get_post_meta()</a> function instead of the get_the_author_meta() function used in the walk through.</p> <p><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> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-prepopulate-a-field-from-a-custom-field#post-48676 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:41:36 +0000 Jesper Kahr Nielsen 48676@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi All</p> <p>I hope someone can help me with a solution on this topic.<br /> I really really want my form too have pre-populated fields and the fields should be map with a custom field. The form will get the custom field value from wordpress and display it for the form user as ex. a dropdown, multiselect or html...</p> <p>it is like the "Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types" plugin but for custom fields...? </p>
