There are a couple different ways to approach it and you might have to experiment a little bit.

The function to embed a form manually is documented here: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form</a> I would start very simply with something like this and see what it looks like: <pre><code>[php] <div id="emailoverlay" class="overlay largeoverlay"> <?php gravity_form(ID, true, true, false, false); ?> </div></code></pre> You will need to change ID there to the ID of your tell a friend Gravity Form. The form title and description from your Gravity Form settings will be displayed here. You may need to do some CSS work to get it looking the same. Also, I'm not sure when the form should show up, or how the form ID is being used in the message that is sent to a friend. But using the function call is a start. In addition, since you are embedding the form with the function call, you will need to enqueue the CSS and scripts manually.

I have a 'tell-a-friend' form created and need to have it pull up when I click on an image (link) that tells you to email a friend. The problem is, this 'email a friend' link opens up an overlay that is coded with a cform II. Cforms (originally coded from the purchased theme) just isn't working for me and I want to remove it and insert the Gravity form. So...the issue is that I know nothing about PHP, etc., but I do know what file the cforms is pulling from, I just don't know what code/function to use to make it pull the correct Gravity form. It's nothing that I can insert into a post or page. The code below shows how it's currently pulling the cforms plugin: <pre><code><div id="emailoverlay" class="overlay largeoverlay"> <h2><?php echo $OPTION['wps_email_a_friend_title']; ?></h2> <?php echo $OPTION['wps_email_a_friend_text']; ?> <?php if(function_exists('is_tellafriend')){ if(is_tellafriend( $post->ID )) insert_cform(2); } else { echo " ";</code></pre> Any suggestions? Thanks -
