Background:
I am building a quote engine on my website. I am trying to use GF to quote my customers. Product Prices are stored in a database and are updated automatically based on an external XML feed.
My question is two fold:
1. I wish to use Product Fields (single product), but somehow dynamically populate the "Base Price"
2. I wish to rename the "Price:" and "Quantity:" labels in the Product Field.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Many thanks
To change the price, you can check the "Allow field to be populated dynamically" box on the advanced tab for your product. The screen will look like this at that point: http://minus.com/lY5WUTPLBsp8A
Set those three parameters. Then use one of these three methods to dynamically populate the field. http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population
For pulling the information from the database or external XML feed, you probably want to use the last example, explaining how to do it with a hook. http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population#Hooks
For changing Price and Quantity labels, you can use these filters:

That's exactly what I wanted! Thank you.
Before you close this thread, could you kindly explain what ", 10, 2" means in
[php]
add_filter("gform_product_quantity_9", "set_quantity_label", 10, 2);also, and sorry to be a pain, but if some items are being sold by weight, and some items are being sold by qty, (hence the reason why I want to rename the labels), how do I change the labels for specific pricing fields?
// Change quantity sublabel to Weight
add_filter("gform_product_quantity_9", "set_quantity_label", 10, 2);
function set_quantity_label($sublabel, $form_id){
return "Weight";
}The above changes label for ALL quantity fields but not specific ones. I have tried
[php]
gform_product_quantity_9_2to amend the item with field id 2 to no avail.
The 10, 2 is priority (10) and number of arguments accepted (2). See here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter
I will check with the developers on changing just some of the labels in a single form.
