How to work out pre populated field names

  1. http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/right-parameter-names-to-pre-populate-the-names-fields

    I have followed all the steps in this previous forum thread, and have it all working, this forum has been really helpful. But I have an extra field 'Company Name' which im trying to populate on another form and I'm wondering how do I find the field ID thing I need to do it (e.g. user_lastname). I tried user_company.

    I appreciate the help!

  2. You can find the field IDs by viewing the source of the page that holds the form. You can do this on the preview page if you like.

    You could also look at the user meta in the database, to see how the field is being referred to. I'm not sure *exactly* what you're trying to do. Do you have a registration form that asks for a company name, and you're storing that information as part of the user's profile?

  3. I have a form on this page (http://theadvertorialnetwork.co.uk/register/) with company name as a field which is also on another form on a separate page, which i wish to populate.

    I have added this line of code to functions.php (http://www.pastie.org/2573886)

    The First Name etc are working, but i think i have named the company field wrong somewhere. Any suggestions?

  4. Seems there's a typo in your code snippet - \'user_comapny\' should perhaps be \'user_company\'?
