I am trying to pre-populate a form with a few BuddyPress fields using the add_filter function.
I can return the value fine on a page, but can not have it populate the GravityForm. Allow field to be populated dynamically is checked and parameter is populate_hotel.
Am I missing something?
Parameter should be ambassador_hotel.
Can you force $ambassadorhotel to have a value, say "Test" and see if it populates properly? If so, then maybe there isn't a value being passed to that variable from your BP code. If it doesn't work, then something is configured wrong, and we'd have to figure out what.
@tatertot did you make it work? , I have the same problem pre populate buddypress profile fields and your code doesn't work for me too:
//Buddypress prepolute phone
add_filter("form_field_value_phone", "populate_phone");
function populate_phone() {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user_id = $current_user->ID;
$phone = bp_profile_field_data( array('user_id'=>$current_user_id,'field'=>'phone' ));
return $phone;
}Daniel, can you try what I asked tatertot to do please and see what happens?
Dave I would love to do that, but honestly my PHP knowledge is very bad so I don't know exactly how: "...to force a phone to have a value "test" (the code). Can you help me to give me that code and I will immediately try it?
Assuming you have the parameter of the field set to phone, then you should be able to swap out:
$phone = bp_profile_field_data( array('user_id'=>$current_user_id,'field'=>'phone' ));for
$phone = "(555) 555-0123";David, thank you very much for your help, your snippet I will use for my future issues, I got that working with another BP code now:
add_filter("gform_field_value_city", "populate_city");
function populate_city($value){
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
return xprofile_get_field_data('city', $current_user->ID);
}This code with "xprofile_get_field_data" and parameter= city works, now I will also search for drop down solution, thanks again and you can mark as "RESOLVED" this thread.
