    Hi There,

    Suppose I have a simple order form, and I want the price in the product field to come from a custom field in the post, can that be done and if so, how?

    I searched for this but could not see it so forgive me if this has been covered!

    Thanks and Cheers,
    Gil

  2. Use the following code snippet, making sure to update the Form and Field IDs to match yours.

    add_filter("gform_pre_render", "populate_price");
    function populate_price($form){
    
        //only applies to form id 165
        if($form["id"] != 165)
           return $form;
    
        global $post;
        //replace "my_price_meta" with your custom field name
        $price = get_post_meta($post->ID, "my_price_meta", true);
    
        //Setting price for product field id 8. Replace 8 with your actual field id. You can get the field id by looking at the input name in the markup.
        foreach($form["fields"] as &$field)
            if($field["id"] == 8){
                $field["basePrice"] = $price;
            }
    
        return $form;
    }

    Hi Alex!
    Thanks so much! So if I had 3 different custom fields
    _widget_1_price
    _widget_2_price
    _widget_3_price
    I would need to add this code to my functions.php for each one yes?

    Cheers,
    Gil

  4. You could incorporate all 3 into the single function call. So you wouldn't add that code 3 times to your functions.php, you'd add it once but you'd modify it so it does all 3 at the same time.

  5. It depends. Do these apply to different forms, or different fields in the same form?

  7. You can use the following then. Just make sure to replace the Field IDs (i.e. 8, 9 and 10) with yours.

    add_filter("gform_pre_render", "populate_price");
    function populate_price($form){
    
        //only applies to form id 165
        if($form["id"] != 165)
           return $form;
    
        global $post;
    
        //Setting price for product field id 8. Replace 8 with your actual field id. You can get the field id by looking at the input name in the markup.
        foreach($form["fields"] as &$field)
            if($field["id"] == 8){
    			$price = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_widget_1_price", true);
                $field["basePrice"] = $price;
            }
    		else if($field["id"] == 9){
    			$price = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_widget_2_price", true);
                $field["basePrice"] = $price;
            }
    		else if($field["id"] == 10){
    			$price = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_widget_3_price", true);
                $field["basePrice"] = $price;
            }
    
        return $form;
    }
