Here is a tutorial on how to populate a field on your form with the post authors email address:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_the_Post_Author" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_the_Post_Author</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-a-contact-form-with-data-from-a-previously-filled-form#post-40614 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:36:09 +0000 JohnB 40614@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, the form should go to the author of the post. Some users prefer not to register, though. Is there a way to call their e-mail address just from their ad submission form?</p> <p>This should work great for registered users, though. Might encourage people to actually sign up.

Then, for that form, the form submission should go to the author of the post (job listing). Is that correct?</p> <p>You can create one form and then add the function call to your template, so the form is included on each job post. That will take care of putting the form on each job post. You might want to include the title of the post (as reference to what the submission is about) and you will need to post author's email. You can use the <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_notification_email" rel="nofollow">gform_notification_email</a> filter to set the address where the notification will be sent.</p> <p>When you call that filter, you will use the WordPress function <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_author_meta" rel="nofollow">the_author_meta</a>.</p> <p>There are a few pieces to make it work, but it's completely doable and will be nice and automated once it's complete. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-a-contact-form-with-data-from-a-previously-filled-form#post-40542 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 23:48:37 +0000 JohnB 40542@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey! I've been mucking about the forums trying to learn how to do this, but I'm obviously missing something regarding query strings, hooks, or something else entirely. Here goes.</p> <p>I'm running a job board and want to set up an in-post reply form. After people add job openings, I want a form to appear below the ad that will allow users to respond to those ads. The problem is, I'm not sure how to set the response form up so that it e-mails the owner of the ad.</p> <p>Website: <a href="http://videogamejournalismjobs.com/" rel="nofollow">http://videogamejournalismjobs.com/</a></p> <p>Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! </p>
