Or you can create a new variable, set it's value to the variable value you want and return that. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-hooks-to-dynamically-populate-single-line-text#post-32978 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:43:25 +0000 mrnic3guy 32978@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you!</p> <p>I guess my question is now this: what would be my return value? $page_title? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-hooks-to-dynamically-populate-single-line-text#post-32972 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:23:09 +0000 Carl Hancock 32972@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can't use a variable in the shortcode. It's not going to get replaced. Values passed in the shortcode would have to be static.</p> <p>If you want to dynamically populate a field I would suggest using PHP. Here is a tutorial:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-hooks-to-dynamically-populate-single-line-text#post-32964 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:15:23 +0000 mrnic3guy 32964@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi all.</p> <p>I have a question that needs answering. I've looked through the forums and documentation but haven't found exactly what it is I'm looking for.</p> <p>I'm trying to populate a "subject" field with the wordpress page title. In this case it's an address. </p> <p>I've tried several things including<br /> <code>[gravityform id=3 name=Contact title=true description=true field_values=&#39;subject=$page_title&#39;]</code><br /> where $page_title is what I want to be populating the subject line in the contact form. </p> <p>So my question is, what do I need to replace $page_title with to get the actual title of the specific page a user is on? Ideally I don't want to have to create hundreds of contact forms for every specific page.</p> <p>Is this even possible?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
