They won't appear in the list of custom fields. You will have to choose to create a new custom field name when adding the field in Gravity Forms and manually type in _videoembed as the name.</p> <p>I had said file upload because i'm not familiar with the video embed plugin and assumed it wanted a file. If it wants a YouTube URL, yea you can use another field type. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-plugin-field#post-27953 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:33:28 +0000 twessel 27953@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Carl! Looking in mysql, it's stored in meta_key under _videoembed. However, when I create my front-end form, I've tried a single line text and website field type then selected a new custom field name. None of which worked. Doesn't look like it's making its way into the db. Am I doing it wrong? I didn't quite understand using the file upload. That's not really relevant since these are youtube vids. Thanks for your help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-plugin-field#post-27936 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 13:15:27 +0000 Carl Hancock 27936@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not sure how Simple Video Embedder works or how it stores it's data or what format it needs. Does it just need the full path URL to a video? If so you can use the Post Custom Field and set it's field type to File Upload. For the custom field name you can try _videoembed which appears to be the custom field name it uses. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-plugin-field#post-27914 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 09:07:59 +0000 twessel 27914@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a plugin (Simple Video Embedder, Press75.com) that allows you to post URL's. How can I create a front-end field that populates that field? I've tried a custom field but the custom field name is not listed there. Do I need to add HTML? The HTML generates this code id="p75-video-url" or do I need this get_post_meta($postID, '_videoembed', true? I feel like I'm sooo close. Thanks! </p>
