I want to include a reply form, that uses the posters email address!

I'm using Tapp Jobs theme for WordPress. It works great, but I'm having issues with email address being public. I'd like to keep the email address field hidden, but when the job post is viewed there's a small form that lets the visitor email the poster. My question is, how do I pass the email address to the new form?

Look at http://www.mytubestop.co.uk for the idea I'm getting at. You will see the user has an option to post a new job, which uses gravity forms (of course), but when the post is viewed I'd like to have a way to pass the email address to a hidden field for emailing the poster!

Gah, hope that made sense!

There are two different ways to do this, both involve using API hooks to populate data dynamically. How comfortable are you with writing PHP?

See this thread:

http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-form-to-author-of-post

It discusses sending the admin notification email to the author of the post and shows how to use the API hook to do so.

You will want to customize what is being done in that thread and instead of sending it to the author of the post, you would send it to the email address that is stored in a custom field for the post.
