Then in form 10, you need to have a hidden field called "Source Page" or "Referring Page" or something, check the box on the advanced tab to "Allow Field to be Populated Dynamically" and enter a parameter name of frompage since that is what we are sending over from the single-footer.php. Can you put all those pieces together?

Would that work for you? I just tried it here: <a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/2012/08/22/map-to-fun/" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/2012/08/22/map-to-fun/</a> I added this code to my footer.php: <pre><code>[php] <?php global $post; $thisid = $post->ID; echo ""; ?></code></pre> If you look in the source of that page, you will see the HTML comment: <pre><code>[html] </code></pre> This code will work fine on a single page (like where your single-footer.php is likely in use.) It would not return the correct value when used on an index page or archive page, due to the loop.

Andy on "Identify which page form is loaded from" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/identify-which-page-form-is-loaded-from#post-81127 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 10:45:03 +0000 Andy 81127@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Yes that looks like what I want but not sure how to pass that value using an iframe... i think it's impossible so i will need to revise my process.. To make things clearer 1. A file called single-footer.php is loaded onto multiple pages. 2. The file single-footer.php contains the launch code for the form which is: <code><a href="http://www.domain.com/form-page" class="colorboxiframe">Form Page</a></code> 3. The class 'colorboxiframe' makes the form load into a popup iframe. Problem, how to pass the name of the page it was launched from to the hidden field. Presumably the necessary code needs to go to single-footer.php
