I've read several of your posts before and you're very helpful on these forums. I appreciate you chiming in here.</p> <p>I read through the page you linked and I understand the principle. I played around with the code for a while and am still having trouble with the exact arguments to use. </p> <p>Please see the <a href="http://pastie.org/3026831" rel="nofollow">code</a>.</p> <p>I think I'm supposed to use "get_metadata" to retrieve the user fields. But I'm not sure what follows in the parenthesis and then how that translates to the array. Ultimately I'm trying to grab information listed in a "meta_key" (e.g. community_name) in the user profile. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-specific-form-fields#post-43395 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:33:17 +0000 David Smith 43395@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi 10for2,</p> <p>Using custom code you could retrieve and dynamically populate the values of any of the multiple option fields (dropdown, radio, checkbox) based on the current user. Here is a walk-through which demonstrates how to dynamically populate a drop down. Use this to get started and let me know if you run into any other questions. :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_Drop_Down_Fields" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_Drop_Down_Fields</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-specific-form-fields#post-43367 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:37:53 +0000 10For2 43367@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I've created a gravity form to act as a work request form. Essentially the user logs into a private site, and fills out the work request which is then submitted to a field rep via email routing. Easy enough. </p> <p>What I'd like to accomplish is to have a drop down menu populated with selection choices based on the user logged in. In other words, when User A logs in he/she can pick from option 1 and 2, but when User B logs in he/she can only pick option 3 and 4. </p> <p>I'm currently using the Extra User Details plugin (<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extra-user-details/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extra-user-details/</a>) to add additional fields to the user profile and pre-populating single line text form fields using the Default Value variable created with the plugin (e.g. {user:user_phone} ). </p> <p>However, what I can't figure out is how to tie drop down selections (radio buttons, checkboxes) to the user. I realize there may be some custom code involved to pull this off, or an additional plugin, etc. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
