Can you clarify what exactly the issue is that you are having? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-default-value-for-the-post-category-field-in-a-custom-post-type#post-29434 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 21:42:09 +0000 Chris Hajer 29434@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What happens and what did you expect to happen? I use CPT with Gravity Forms and I am unclear what sort of trouble you're having. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-default-value-for-the-post-category-field-in-a-custom-post-type#post-29426 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 19:37:19 +0000 riskiii 29426@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Bump, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-default-value-for-the-post-category-field-in-a-custom-post-type#post-29192 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 00:53:23 +0000 riskiii 29192@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have followed the forum topic, and used the following code:</p> <pre><code>function dgs_set_post_type($post_data, $form) { if ( $form[ &#39;id&#39; ] == &#39;1&#39; ) { $post_data[ &#39;post_type&#39; ] = &#39;cpt_hr_posts&#39;; $post_data[ &#39;tax_hr_posts_category&#39; ] = &#39;our-space&#39;; $group = &#39;our-space&#39;; } return $post_data; } add_filter(&#39;gform_post_data&#39;, &#39;dgs_set_post_type&#39;, 10, 2);</code></pre> <p>I used the advanced tab on the group, and gave the parameter field the value of "group". The default value from the custom taxonomy will be "our-space". In case you need it the taxonomy name is "tax_hr_posts_category". In additon to putting the value in the hooks, I tried the get values of <a href="http://intranet.omrf.hsc.net.ou.edu/our-space/?group=our-space" rel="nofollow">http://intranet.omrf.hsc.net.ou.edu/our-space/?group=our-space</a> where "our-space" is a page with the shortcode added. </p>
