As such, you will have to custom code something in your functions.php file to grab the data and pre-populate fields instead of just relying on the logged-in data merge tags.</p> <p>For some more information, check here:<br /> <a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-display-the-users-first-name-in-buddypress" rel="nofollow">http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-display-the-users-first-name-in-buddypress</a><br /> <a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/buddypress-question-on-full-name-field" rel="nofollow">http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/buddypress-question-on-full-name-field</a></p> <p>You might want to go to <a href="http://buddypress.org/support/" rel="nofollow">http://buddypress.org/support/</a> to ask about what you'll need to do to pull those details using PHP. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-filled-forms-with-buddypress#post-56967 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 10:57:04 +0000 Howard Yermish 56967@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using a GravityForm on a site that requires you to have a user account. And I have the form configured properly so that when people are logged into the site, it automatically pre-fills their name into a name field by allowing the normal name format to be populated dynamically (user_firstname, user_lastname) and sets the default email address using {user:user_email}. This saves time for people, but allows someone else at the company to overwrite the values so they could do the "daily update" for someone else. The form works great. Until...</p> <p>We want to add BuddyPress features to this site using the same user accounts that are there. When BuddyPress was activated, the form would no longer pre-fill the name field. The email field worked fine. Any suggestions on this? Thanks. </p>
