I'm looking to use the Affiliate Platform plugin with Gravity Forms and the PayPal addon to track sales, can sunstardave or Michael possibly help me out...is there a *complete* version of the instructions somewhere so I can start hacking away at this to get this working on my forms? </p> <p>Gravity Forms is already heads above anything else out there for flexible integrations into a website, I just haven't been able to find an affiliate platform to bolt on, getting this working would be huge!</p> <p>Much thanks!</p> <p>-r </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/integrate-wp-affiliate-platform-for-pay-per-lead-commission#post-22224 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 08:41:44 +0000 sunstardave 22224@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks very much for such a detailed breakdown.

It's purely for either a static Default Value *OR* using the Insert Form Field drop down that inserts a form field variable. It isn't used for populating a field using PHP or the query string. The only values that go in the Default Value is one you manually type in OR a variable from the Insert Form Field drop down that appears with that field.</p> <p>As for populating a field dynamically... the parameter field is up to you. What goes in the parameter field is the parameter you want to use to dynamically populate that field. You decide that. The parameter name is then used to target that field either with PHP using the gform_field_value hook OR via the query string by passing the value to the page containing the form (ex. mydomain.com/mypage?parameter=value). The parameter in the querystring would be whatever you chose, so if you set the parameter for an email field to "email" then you could pass data to it via PHP or the query strin g(ex. mydomain.com/mypage?email=email@email.com). Documentation for the gform_field_value hook is here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name</a></p> <p>Step 2: Again, you would pass the parameter names for the field you want to populate this way. The parameter names are whatever you configured for each field. For example if you gave an email field the parameter name of email you would pre-populate it like so:<br /> [gravityform id=12 title=false description=false field_values='email=email@email.com']</p> <p>So for example. If I edited an email field on my form, selected the Advanced tab and checked the "Allow field to be populated dynamically" tab and then gave it a parameter name of "email" (without the quotes) like so: <a href="http://grab.by/9LWP" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/9LWP</a></p> <p>I could then populate that field dynamically via PHP using the gform_field_value hook, or via the query string by passing it (ex. mydomain.com/mypage?email=email@email.com) or via the shortcode ([gravityform id=12 title=false description=false field_values='email=email@email.com']).</p> <p>Your Step 3, yes the code would go in functions.php and the form id would be the form id for the form you want to customize. The field numbers are the input id numbers for the fields which you can find by viewing source on your form and getting the input name which will look something like "input_2" or "input_3", etc. the number is the field id. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/integrate-wp-affiliate-platform-for-pay-per-lead-commission#post-22150 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 07:53:21 +0000 sunstardave 22150@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for putting these instructions up.</p> <p>I wasn't sure whether or not to start another topic or piggy back on this one so I hope the later is OK.</p> <p>Although I understand what is generally needed, I am lost on a few points:</p> <p>By the way, I’m using caps for clarity.
