I'm not familiar with that plugin at all to know the correct way to do it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-gform_pre_render-and-a-custom-field-type#post-187974 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:23:01 +0000 passatgt 187974@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Well, not exactly i created it, but its definitely a custom made field, thats what i tried to explain somehow:) You can find it here:</p> <p><a href="http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gravity-forms-wysiwyg/trunk/gf_wysiwyg_class.php" rel="nofollow">http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gravity-forms-wysiwyg/trunk/gf_wysiwyg_class.php</a></p> <p>By default, it doesn't support the defaultValue option, so i changed the code in line 124 from this:<br /> <pre><code>wp_editor(&#39;&#39;, $input_id, $args);</code></pre> <p>To this:<br /> <pre><code>wp_editor($field[&quot;defaultValue&quot;], $input_id, $args);</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-gform_pre_render-and-a-custom-field-type#post-187962 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:14:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 187962@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you share the code you used to create your custom field? Please share all the custom code you are using. Use pastebin.com or pastie.org please for lengthy code. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-gform_pre_render-and-a-custom-field-type#post-186737 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:57:06 +0000 passatgt 186737@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi!</p> <p>I created a custom field type and i try to change the defaultValue by using the gform_pre_render, but somehow its not working.</p> <p>Here is the gform_pre_render function:<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_pre_render&quot;, &quot;populate_field&quot;); function populate_field($form){ $postID = $_GET[&#39;id&#39;]; if($form[&quot;id&quot;] != 5) return $form; foreach($form[&quot;fields&quot;] as &amp;$field) { if($field[&quot;id&quot;] == 34){ $field[&quot;defaultValue&quot;] = &#39;just a test default value&#39;; } } return $form; }</code></pre> <p>So as you can see, nothing special, however, its not working. If i set the default value in the admin panel, its working fine, but i can't change it like this. I also tried to change the description, and surprisingly that is working fine.</p> <p>Any idea? Thanks </p>
