I need to insert a passed query string into an html block too -- the first and last name, they were passed as first_name, last_name. </p> <p>Thank you! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/inserting-passed-query-string-values-into-an-html-block#post-56584 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:40:42 +0000 kyle 56584@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would think you could do it with shortcodes. So you could have:</p> <p><code>Hey [FirstName]...</code></p> <p>and then you'd have to create a shortcode that converted [FirstName] into the actual firstname. Maybe something like this:</p> <pre><code>add_shortcode( &#39;firstname&#39;, &#39;custom_firstname_shortcode&#39; ); function custom_firstname_shortcode() { global $_GET; return $_GET[&#39;FirstName&#39;]; }</code></pre> <p>which assumes a url like:</p> <p><a href="http://www.example.com/myform/?FirstName=Brian" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/myform/?FirstName=Brian</a></p> <p>If you're going to parse a bunch of values, you might want to build a more generic shortcode and pass the values as arguments. Something like:</p> <p><code>[parsequery value=&quot;FirstName&quot;]</code> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/inserting-passed-query-string-values-into-an-html-block#post-56580 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:19:55 +0000 getresults 56580@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've set up a Gravity Form that passes Query String values on submit to a second Gravity Form, including FirstName, LastName as hidden fields (admin view only). </p> <p>Is it possible to dynamically insert this Query String values into an HTML block on the second form? </p> <p>i.e.: </p> <p>Hey {FirstName} - thanks for taking a look at this. </p> <p>I'm guessing no but will be pleasantly surprised if the answer is yet. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
