I would like to display the entry # into the body of my post. I have GF set to publish the entry as a post. I would also like GF to publish the entry # as well. For example, if it is the 111th entry submitted from my GF, I would like the published post to include "#111" in the bottom left of the post field.
Thanks
Sure, use a content template for your post body (in the form builder, check the "Create content template".) In the drop down where it says 'Insert Merge Tag' (or in your version it might say "Insert form field"), and pull down to insert the entry ID. It will look like this in your content template.
[php]
{Post Body:2}
#{entry_id}That assumes you want just the submitted content in the body, plus the entry ID. And that your post body is field #2 in your form. Use the drop down to insert the merge tags, and the field IDs will be correct.
Simply, the entry ID can be inserted into the post using this merge tag:
{entry_id}
You can format the rest of the post body however you like.
Glad that worked out for you. Thanks for the update.
