I don't understand what other answer you were hoping for, but I hope my clarification helps... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-affiliate-id-as-hidden-field#post-214458 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:30:19 +0000 mostlyjan 214458@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>so the two things i need to do i have to do myself. And then if i purchase there "may" be some other relevant info but a mystery what those may be and what would be entailed until i buy...

Once you have a Gravity Forms license, we can help you with possible solutions in the regular support forums: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/forum/gravity-forms#postform" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/forum/gravity-forms#postform</a></p> <p>You can use a query string just as you described (?referrer=siteA) but setting the cookie will be up to you. Then, reading that cookie into a hidden field in your form will also be up to you to code. </p> <p>Other users have posted their solutions. I will paste the link here but you will not be able to view the topic until you are a license holder <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/using-cookies-to-populate-forms#post-74281" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/using-cookies-to-populate-forms#post-74281</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-affiliate-id-as-hidden-field#post-213091 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:10:30 +0000 mostlyjan 213091@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>i am looking to do something (i thought to be) very simple but i am having a hard time finding a solution. I am hopeful you guys can end my search !</p> <p>i want to associate leads with their referring sites and then pass that info on as a hidden field when someone fills out a form.</p> <p>So Site-A sends someone to a specific landing page on our site or perhaps by using a parameter in the url (mysite.com?referrer=siteA)<br /> I then want to store a cookie to always associate that lead with Site-A.<br /> When they fill out the contact-us form, i want to embed the Site-A referring site as a hidden field.</p> <p>there are dozens of Affiliate solutions but overkill for what i am trying to do.</p> <p>keeping my fingers crossed and hoping there is a way to do this using your solution! </p>
