Save user input in cookie and prepopulate form

Brilliant! Just what I was looking for..

So trick number one was enabling the prepopulation in the fields first (which is where I was able to enter the keys I wanted to use, rather than trying to figure out where the heck to get them from so I could enter them later). Helps to really read the instructions.

I almost have this working just right. Everything other than first name and last name are working. I'm assuming this has something to do with the fact that they're the same field but split into two parts. I do need to keep them separate and not the simple entry field.

Any thoughts on how to amend this code to resolve the issue?

add_action("gform_pre_submission", "pre_submission_handler");
function pre_submission_handler($form_meta) {
	$saveVars = array("fname", "lname", "title", "company", "phone", "email", "country", "state", "sales");

    foreach($form_meta["fields"] as $field) {
		if (in_array($field["inputName"], $saveVars)) {
			setcookie("gf_".$field["inputName"], $_POST["input_" . $field["id"]], time() + 31536000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false, true);
		}
	}
}

add_filter("gform_field_value_fname", "populate_fname");
function populate_fname() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_fname"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_lname", "populate_lname");
function populate_lname() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_lname"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_title", "populate_title");
function populate_title() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_title"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_company", "populate_company");
function populate_company() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_company"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_phone", "populate_phone");
function populate_phone() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_phone"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_email", "populate_email");
function populate_email() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_email"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_country", "populate_country");
function populate_country() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_country"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_state", "populate_state");
function populate_state() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_state"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_sales", "populate_sales");
function populate_sales() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_sales"];
}

I used this method to get my fields pre-populated and it does work, but there is a problem...someone else is on the form page from a different computer and it pre-populates the last persons information who submitted.

The form I have is a sidebar form http://elderhomefinders.com. If you fill that information out on the side it takes you to the other form which pre-populates but not with the information you just submitted but with the person who previous submitted a form.

Do you know how to fix this?

No, I tried the query string but couldn't seem to figure it out. Do you have any suggestions?
I have the fields marked to dynamically populate on those 4 fields on both forms, should I only have that box checked on the second form?

can i add a check box in the end of every form that the viewer can mark if he want to save the info for other form or not?

Hi Carl,

Yes the session variable is not outputting. So there is a mistake with setting the value but how should i get it working? Tried with different parameter_name for first and last name field. Same issue with address fields, dropdown menu and radio buttons.

Any suggestions/guidelines will be great.

Thanks!

In case anyone wants to try this out. It will auto populate any field that is marked as "Allow field to be populated dynamically" with it's previous value from a cookie.

Add this to your functions.php

add_action("gform_pre_submission", "pre_submission_handler");
function pre_submission_handler($form_meta) {
        $saveVars = array("first", "last", "email", "phone");
        foreach($form_meta["fields"] as $field) {
                if( $field["allowsPrepopulate"] ){
                        if( is_array($field["inputs"]) ){
                                foreach($field["inputs"] as $sub){
                                        $val = $_POST["input_" . str_replace(".", "_", $sub["id"])];
                                        setcookie("gf_".$sub["name"], $val, time() + 31536000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false, true);
                                }
                        }else{
                                $val = $_POST["input_" . $field["id"]];
                                setcookie("gf_".$field["inputName"], $val, time() + 31536000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false, true);
                        }
                }
        }
}

add_filter("gform_pre_render", "add_auto_update_filters");
$contego_callbacks = array();
function add_auto_update_filters($form){
        foreach($form["fields"] as &$field){
                if( $field["allowsPrepopulate"] ){
                        if( is_array($field["inputs"]) ){
                                foreach($field["inputs"] as $sub){
                                        $fieldName = $sub["name"];
                                        add_filter("gform_field_value_" . $fieldName, function($fieldName) use ($fieldName){
                                                return $_COOKIE["gf_" . $fieldName];
                                        });
                                }
                        }else{
                                $fieldName = $field["inputName"];
                                add_filter("gform_field_value_" . $fieldName, function($fieldName) use ($fieldName){
                                        return $_COOKIE["gf_" . $fieldName];
                                });
                        }

                }
        }
        return $form;
}
