Hi,
I am able to pass incoming data to a form field. I set it up so that a parameter in the url is passed to a hidden field.
Is it possible to modify the parameter in the url before it is input in the hidden field.
I would like to encrypt the url parameter so that it is not visible in the address bar and than decrypt it before it goes as a value into the hidden field.
Is this possible in some way?
Thank you
This would be possible but you would then have to use the PHP method for populating a field dynamically and you would have to know how to obfuscate a querystring value and then deobfuscarte it using PHP and then insert the value into the field using PHP and an API hook.
The code to pre-populate a field looks like this. This example uses a field who's dynamic parameter has been set to "firstname":
add_filter("gform_field_value_firstname", "populate_firstname");
function populate_firstname(){
$firstname_value = "Test";
return $firstname_value;
}So depending on the parameter you entered in the field editor you would swap out "firstname" with your parameter in the above code. You would have to add to this code to get the querystring and deobfuscate it and then set the value to the deobfuscated value of the data.
So the above code requires customizations on your part, it doesn't do the deobfuscation part. It's just an example of how to pre-populate a field using PHP.

Hi Carl,
I'm almost there, I got a test form up and running where the parameters are read from the url and the deobsfuscated code is inserted correctly in two hidden fields in the form.
But that info in the hidden fields is no longer appearing in the email notification that is sent. Those fields stay blank, whereas before they worked fine. Is that information coming from a different route?
Unfortunately I cannot send a url as the site is developed behind a firewall.
Any ideas are appreciated. I'm a bit stuck a this last final tiny step.
Thank you,
Han
Nope, the information comes from the form itself. So if you are populating the fields dynamically correctly it should save the data in those hidden fields. When you say those fields worked fine before, are you referring to before you tried to obfuscate them?

Hi Carl,
http://www.grandchifleyhotels.com.au/wedding-enquiry/?HotelID=GCA
in above link you can see gravity form. I want to pass hotel name in hidden field for this form when form being submitted. is it possible to do that?
If yes then how?
Thanks in advance.
@mattswan Yes, you can populate fields via query string. You need to configure your field so that it can be populated dynamically and then pass the data to it via the query string. See the forum post below, it outlines how to do this.
Hi Matt,
Sounds like you want to prepoluate the value of your hidden field using a value provided through PHP. Here's a quick example of how to do that (notes in the code):

Hi David!
I am using below code which is working fine for one site, but I am using multi-site functionality and each site have different form id.
in the below function I am specifying form id so it is not working for all the sites.
if you do any amendments in that code then it would be good. I will try your code too.
add_action("gform_pre_submission", "pre_submission_handler");
function pre_submission_handler($form_meta){
global $_POST;
// form id 1 is our main contact form
if($form_meta["id"] != '14'){
return;
}
//query to get HotelName and Function Manager Email Address
$query = 'SELECT h.HotelName, h.Suburb, hcw.ContactName, hcw.ContactEmail, hcw.ContactPhone, hcw.ContactFax FROM Hotel AS h LEFT JOIN HotelConfWed AS hcw ON h.ID=hcw.HotelID WHERE hcw.AreaID=1502 AND h.ID="'. $_SESSION["HotelID"].'"';
$HDetail = query_chg($query);
while ($det = mssql_fetch_array($HDetail)) {
$_POST["input_9"] = $det['HotelName'];
}
}
Thanks
