Do you mean pass the value of the city to your form?

Instead of using the agents email address we can use the region again? So if the end user picks " alabama/auburn " on the form that region is auto filled, picked and hidden by the " admin only " option<br /> If im on the correct track? can someone explain in detail just 1 region please,, how and where i would declare and call to make this work? include field type's and such...</p> <p>thanks SL </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/i-form-for-1-region-makes-it-easier-for-searchers-to-find-local-stuff#post-71566 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 16:04:10 +0000 scott@adszoom.com 71566@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Question I am struggling with an issue now and at a cross roads. I crated a page that I’m about to make our new homepage. <a href="http://www.adszoom.com/adszoom-international-home-page-classified-regions/#top" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/adszoom-international-home-page-classified-regions/#top</a> ( just the template not the domain name ) </p> <p>replacing <a href="http://www.adszoom.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/</a></p> <p>There will be over 250 versions of the current <a href="http://www.adszoom.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/</a> one for each region. Example: alabama.adszoom.com This is a lot of work and I have explored ALL options including wp - multi site ecs.... external .css sheets I mean all options. I am trying to steer away from this above idea and replace it with this.<br /> Instead of having 250 separate wp sites for the regions. Just have a gravity form waiting for them when they click a region example: form name Alabama/auburn .<br /> 1 form for each region.<br /> the link from the regions page gos directly to this form. </p> <p>Goal’s : cut down on user error and make it easier for searchers to find local stuff. </p> <p>idea 2 that makes way more sense.</p> <p>If I kept the current <a href="http://www.adszoom.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/</a> and placed <a href="http://www.adszoom.com/adszoom-international-home-page-classified-regions/#top" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/adszoom-international-home-page-classified-regions/#top</a><br /> after the “ post new ad “ button,,, meaning that the flow would be like this. After they click “ post a new ad on <a href="http://www.adszoom.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/</a> it would then take them to <a href="http://www.adszoom.com/adszoom-international-home-page-classified-regions/#top" rel="nofollow">http://www.adszoom.com/adszoom-international-home-page-classified-regions/#top</a> </p> <p>they would then be forced to pick there region ( that in the end matches perfectly the search ) and i would have 1 gravity form for each region. Region already filled in example:</p> <p>form name: Alabama/auburn ( this is the area they will post )this way the poster will be forced to pick a region every time! this is important because If I leave it up to the poster to pick they always screw it up example: florida becomes Fl,fla,FLA or what ever and that makes it impossible to narrow it down for someone that just wants used stuff in there town got it? </p> <p>the challenge is how would i then give the ability to the searcher to search just Alabama/auburn<br /> got it? they don’t wanna see stuff in Ca if they live in florida! so what would i add to the current search tool bar we us or what would i replace it with and how would i create a drop down with the form names as ( the places regions/citys/states ) so the only results are the ones displayed off that form. </p> <p>so the searches would be ether “all” like current. or there is an added drop down that will only pull data from the form selected.</p> <p>thanks </p> <p>ps i know i make stuff hard lol this is probably something easy im missing... </p>
