Can I Pre-Populate Or Call From Buddypress Profile Data?

I have just bought Gravity Forms and read all the forum posts about pre-populating but am either still stuck or am mis-understanding the abilities of Gravity Forms so I hope someone can help with this?

I have set up a test form at http://www.timesharestaff.com/test-form/
I want to be able to pull from Buddypress Profile Data for the logged in user to populate the fields such as Address, Country etc so that my users can have an auto-fill job application form based on the info they provided upon registration which mimics most of the test form I have provided.

Is this possible and can you please help - much appreciated.

Thanks for your response - I had already seen that post and implemented the code that was given as an example

<?php
add_filter("gform_field_value_email", "populate_email");
function populate_email($value){
return "john@doe.com";
}
?>

And I can get the "john@doe.com" to appear where it's supposed to but cannot get any form of Buddypress action / data call to work - whatever else I put inside of the " " marks just shows as text.

All I need is one working example of a buddypress data call as part of the above code example that works and I can work out everything else from there. This is a fabulous plugin and this final stage makes it an invaluable addition to our website, so any additional help is much appreciated and will enable us to make best use of the multisite license we have just bought.

Buddypress 1.2.6 and Wordpress 3.03 - thank you in advance.

Hi David,

Unfortunately this still doesn't work, nor does what seems like a hundred variations I've tried before coming back to you. Any other ideas or guidance on how to implement?

Unfortunately, drop down fields can not be populated with this hook. You can, however, use the gform_pre_render hook to do this. Try this:

Very similar to what you're doing for single input population, but here we're creating an array is required to populate drop down fields.

The example output of the code above is something like this: http://grab.by/8dtR -- I'm not sure exactly what other options you want for your drop down so I put three of the same just so you could see what multiple options would look like. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I'm trying pre-populate a form field with Gravity form. I'm using BuddyPress Default 1.2.7.

Currently each user profile has a form. I would like to add the username of the profile to the form dynamically. This is my attempt so far from using the forum and documentation as guidance

No luck yet.

These are the buddypress variables

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Also is there a particular section i need to paste in the code in the functions.php file?
