You are using the same procedure, but your function value comes from the affiliate plugin's function, not built in WordPress functions.</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> <p>Let us know if that works out for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pulling-affiliate-plugin-id-into-hidden-form-field#post-72067 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 08:22:12 +0000 nomadone 72067@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'd like to pull an affiliate ID form the affiliate plugin I'm using into the Gravity form on my product page. The Affiliate guy says:</p> <p>You can obtain the referrer ID by calling Affiliates_Service::get_referrer_id().</p> <p>Uncertain how to go about including this into my Gravity form through a hidden field.<br /> Any ideas?</p> <p>This is at the plugin - <a href="http://www.itthinx.com/plugins/affiliates/affiliates-shortcodes" rel="nofollow">http://www.itthinx.com/plugins/affiliates/affiliates-shortcodes</a> </p>
