Help using a Hook

  1. I have an index page which lists all of my events.

    The form is embedded using the shortcode:

    [gravityform id=10 ajax=true description=false title=false]

    Next to each event there is a a URL link "Make a resevation" which calls the gravity form.

    I need to use a hook which will pass the event name to an Admin field in the gravity form.

    How can i do this? Presumably by grabbing the title i define somehow on the "Make a reservation" URL.

    many thanks

  2. You should be able to pass the event name via a query string in your link that will then populate the form accordingly. See this page (query string method):

    The form URL is whatever page you've embedded the form on in your site.

  6. what if I embed the form on the same page like this... it doesn't seem to work... I can send you a private link to our beta site to check this out..

    <a class="ajax" href="#contact-calendar">Book Tickets</a>
    
    <div style="display:none;">
    <div id="contact-calendar" >
    [gravityform id=10 ajax=true description=false title=false tabindex=200]
    </div>
    </div>

    If you have a link to get to the form, that link would be like this:

    http://yoursite.com/pagewithform/?event_name=Circus

    On the Page with the form, you would have a field that is hidden that has Allow Dynamic Population checked off, with the parameter being event_name. Then when someone comes to the form with a query string, that field will be filled out.
