We aren't familiar enough with them to be able to make a recommendation. From what i've seen there aren't really any good ones.</p> <p>2) How do you setup the image to link to the form? That depends on what you are using for your image gallery. You'd embed the form on a page and then link to that page from the image.</p> <p>3) Again, it would depend on what gallery plugin you are using and what you can customize. If you want to pass information to a form you can do so using the query string which can be used to dynamically populate a field on your form. Here is a tutorial that discusses how to dynamically populate a field, look at the section on how to do so using the query string:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population</a></p> <p>4) User submitted images via either the File Upload field or the Post Image field depending on what you are trying to do are uploaded to your server. You can include a link to them in the admin notification if you want the image link sent to you.</p> <p>5) Similar to #3 above you would have to dynamically populate fields with that information and you'd have to know where that information is coming from in order to do so. If it's WordPress user information then it can be done using available merge tags and the default value option when editing a field.</p> <p>6) Gravity Forms does not have built in lightbox functionality. It's a feature we would like to add in the future. You'd have to embed the form on another page and link to that page as discussed in #2 above. You could implement a lightbox but you would have to do so as a customization, practically anything can be done as a customization using jQuery and available hooks and filters. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/setup-with-image-gallery#post-41025 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:19:04 +0000 traffix 41025@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>bump </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/setup-with-image-gallery#post-40645 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:37:15 +0000 traffix 40645@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here is what I would like to do. I want users to select an image from an image gallery and fill out a from to submit related to the image they select. I understand I can pass content into the form and I need to do this. Also, all the users are within a membership.</p> <p>Questions (pretty much step by step)<br /> 1. Is there a particular image gallery plugin you recommend? I have Nextgen already but can switch if you recommend something else.<br /> 2. How do I setup the image to link to the form?<br /> 3. How do I setup the form so the image name passes to the form? (are there options to have it displayed and hidden?)<br /> 4. Are user submitted images emailed directly to me or to our server?<br /> 5. How can I pass their membership information (name, email etc.) to the form?<br /> 6. Is there a way to put the form in a lightbox when somebody clicks on the image? If not, where do I want to place the form in relation to the image gallery; on the same page or a different page?</p> <p>Sorry if this topic is repeated elsewhere in the forum, I searched but didn't find exact matches. Thanks in advance! </p>
