Thank you for helping resolve that one. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-info-to-a-form-with-a-url#post-38571 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:47:32 +0000 imeson 38571@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>With help from Chris I figured this out. Turns out there was a little setting checked in Yoast's SEO plugin that said:<br /> "Redirect ugly URL's to clean permalinks. (Not recommended in many cases!)"</p> <p>This was one of those cases. So if anyone has a problem with that query being stripped out, make sure you don't have that setting checked if using that plugin. Dumb mistake on my part having that checked. </p> <p>Thanks Chris for all your help! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-info-to-a-form-with-a-url#post-38442 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:27:45 +0000 Chris Hajer 38442@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The URL without permalinks should look like this:<br /> <a href="http://limecuda.com/?page_id=755&amp;cost_month=15" rel="nofollow">http://limecuda.com/?page_id=755&amp;cost_month=15</a></p> <p>Obviously the permalink change would not be permanent, just for debugging. There is something strange going on with your rewrites. Sometimes the query string is dropped, sometimes it's not.</p> <p>Please do send me access to the site via email at <a href="mailto:chris@rocketgenius.com">chris@rocketgenius.com</a></p> <p>Is this a live site?

Be sure you have them identical.</p> <p>Can you post a link to your form? It's possible there is something happening with the rewrite that makes the parameter go away. Be sure you use a trailing slash (after the form-page as you have it), or not, and use www or not. You want to avoid a redirect before they get to the page with the form on it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-info-to-a-form-with-a-url#post-38327 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:49:39 +0000 imeson 38327@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So basically, what I want to do is to be able to construct URLs to send clients and when the click them to go to the form, whatever I have added into the URL will populate the form fields. </p> <p>So for instance, I know I am charging them $15/month for hosting, I want to be able to construct a URL that will put 15 into the form field for monthly cost. </p> <p>From my research on here I would have thought that </p> <p>.com/form-page/?cost_month=15 </p> <p>would have worked. (I did checkmark "Allow field to be populated dynamically" and set the field to be cost_month)</p> <p>It doesn't work for me though. What am I missing?</p> <p>I did read this page too <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Allow_field_to_be_populated_dynamically" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Allow_field_to_be_populated_dynamically</a> </p>
