There is no pre-built function that does this currently.</li> <li>2 - You should only need to update the defaultValue property.</li> <li>3 - There is no pre-built function for this either. Though if you take a look at the code provided for item 1, the filter used there might replace your need for such a function.</li> <p>Let me know if you have any more questions on this. :)</ul> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populate-fields-using-hooks-and-user-registration#post-19197 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:00:57 +0000 obvio 19197@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>First: great work, its the best piece of software I ever bought in my life, thanks for that!</p> <p>I'm trying to put into use the user reg. add-on and while being able to use the form for registratating I would also like to use another form letting the user edit his own details (don't want them to go to wp-admin..). So I managed to use the gform_pre_render_ID and get/edit/return the form with the already saved used details but my questions are as follow:</p> <p>1. is there a better/shorter way? something i'm missing to take the user to the registration form with all his details pre-populated and just save it there?</p> <p>case not:<br /> 2. should I overwrite in the fields array "content" AND "defaultValue" or only is enough/efficient, case so which?<br /> 3. is there some convenience static function to edit those fields? something like <code>overwrite(fieldID,newValue)</code>?</p> <p>Thats it.. thanks again! </p>
