Please start a new topic in the <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/forum/gravity-forms#postform" rel="nofollow">regular support forums</a> (rather than the pre-purchase forum) and ask a more specific question and we'll be happy to show you some examples. Thank you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-variables#post-78981 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:37:52 +0000 taropaa 78981@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, I am also looking to pass data to a form. I am building a form for a charity event and we want to have custom URL's, and track how many tickets each of us sells. (by passing the name or something as a variable to the form). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-variables#post-46619 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:52:53 +0000 Chris Hajer 46619@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Mike, yes, you can accomplish both with Gravity Forms. After you've made your purchase we'd be happy to help point you in the proper direction on realizing your goals. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-variables#post-46505 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:37:03 +0000 dochara 46505@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>While waiting for someone from GF support to get here, I can try to answer your questions.</p> <p>1. Fetching the ref.</p> <p>Yes, you can do that by using dynamic population, which allows you to pass varables to a form field in several different ways. For example, it's easy to use a filter to pass a meta value (the ref) to the field from the post or page where it is embedded.</p> <p>2. Passing the job name</p> <p>A hook - gform_after_submission - allows you to take any data submitted through the form, and do anything you want with it. So yes, you can easily add/update user meta after submission. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-variables#post-46476 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:35:09 +0000 Mike_sa 46476@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi </p> <p>I have never used Gravity forms before. I have a pre-sales question. </p> <p>I have been asked to develop a recruitment agency website for a client. They needing it done as cheaply as possible, so I am wanting to use Wordpress to achieve this instead of creating my own CMS for them. </p> <p>I wanted to know if it is possible with Gravity forms, to fetch a ref number from a job description page and add it to the form when they upload their cv and submit to apply for the job. </p> <p>Also I wanted to know it would be able to pass the job name they apply for to their user profile in Wordpress. </p> <p>Many thanks :)<br /> Regards</p> <p>Mike </p>
