They are generated dynamically by Gravity Forms.</p> <p>However, if you know what you are doing you can use available API hooks to take this information and when the form is submitted repurpose it and submit it again to whatever form handler you need to handle the login. This is possible, although becomes problematic if the user enters the wrong login and this makes validation difficult. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-data-to-non-wordpress-application#post-8667 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 05:02:37 +0000 chrisuk 8667@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl</p> <p>No I don't want to redirect them to the external login page to login there. I want them to be able to login directly from the gravityforms login that I am trying to create. Then I can add the login box onto my blog which is what Im trying to do. So user enters username and pwd and bingo they are logged into the app.</p> <p>In order to to that I need to be able to set the gravity form field names for username and pasword so that they match those required by the external app. That is the problem you see the field names don't match what is required so it won't work.</p> <p>Can this be done?</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Chris </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-data-to-non-wordpress-application#post-8384 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 11:39:53 +0000 Carl Hancock 8384@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The only way to pass data to an external url without writing custom PHP is using the confirmation redirect. This is under Form Settings and then the Confirmation tab. You can then build a custom query string and name the fields whatever you want when building your custom query string. You then use the form field variables to pass the value of that field using the form field variable drop down.</p> <p>However, the login form for the application you are using would have to be requesting this data from the query string. So it's not going to automatically populate these fields without writing some custom code to interact with the 3rd party application.</p> <p>Any reason you are trying to use a Gravity Forms form to redirect to another login form where they would still have to click login in order to login? Seems like an extra step that is unnecessary and puts them more clicks away from actually logging in. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-data-to-non-wordpress-application#post-8377 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 07:16:17 +0000 chrisuk 8377@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am trying to add a quick login form on my blog for a application that requires a username and password.
