For example, the GF form itself will be sent a URL parameter that indicates which Product ID we're processing. Depending on the ProductID, certain fields will be dynamically populated with different values. How would this be done?</p> <p>And keep in mind, I will need many dynamic fields like this, that are populated depending on the ProductID URL parameter.</p> <p>I guess I should ask first, can GF handle URL params sent to it and if so, how do I control what happens to this URL param? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/will-gf-fulfill-my-needs#post-66499 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:03:23 +0000 omoplata 66499@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm considering using Gravity Forums and because some of the Forum is blocked, I'm unable to find the answers myself, so I will ask here.</p> <p>I currently have a basic site that sells a small inventory of goods/services via PayPal buttons. It currently uses custom forms that populate from a database, and as the user makes a purchase, also updates various invoicing tables. Finally when the user puchases via the PayPal button, uses paypal IPN to mark the invoice tables records as PAID so we can process.</p> <p>I would like to migrate to gravity forums to handle the UI for data entry, but continue to use our backend database. And if possible, depending on how the PayPal Add-On works, integrate GF's PP capabilities as well. As far as I can tell, I may be able to accomplish this using Dynamic Field Population, and sending to 3rd Party at Submission - I would use Dynamic field population to populate certain fields from my database, and 3rd party submission at each 'submit' of a form which will POST to my own custom PHP that will insert/modify DB tables. </p> <p>My question is, is this a workable solution? Second is there a better solution? Finally, the devil is in the details - how exactly would I populate GF fields from my database, and how does the 3rd party submission work?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
