Pass a Query String to Multiple Pages

    My form date capture starts here: (form1)
    http://ovationpix.com/check-availability/

    and once complete, they are brought to this confirmation page:
    http://ovationpix.com/your-event-date-is-available/

    I want them to click on the make a deposit button, and I would like the data from form 1 to follow to form 2: http://ovationpix.com/pay-photo-booth-deposit-online

    I know how to do it directly from one page to another, but I don't know how to do it with a page in the middle.

    Thanks

  2. The "Make a Deposit" button will need to be a link to form 2 with the query string pre-populated with all the values. I'm not sure how they get back to the confirmation page though. You're trying to send them in two different directions from the confirmation page: fill out the form on the confirmation page, and also send them to the "make a deposit page". Sounds confusing and there may not be a good way to do it. Gravity Forms works best in a linear fashion, with the data from one form being sent to the next, and then to a 3rd if necessary. I think you could do as you described, but I have not seen it done and it seems confusing to me, unless I am not seeing the big picture.

    the form you saw on the confirmation page shouldnt have been there and i have fixed it. this should be the process:

    1) check availability - http://ovationpix.com/check-availability/
    once they submit this page, they are brought to a page that notifies them the date is available.

    2) this page notifies them that the page is available. from here they get the option to make a deposit, or exit the process. http://ovationpix.com/your-event-date-is-available/

    3) if they choose to make a deposit, i would like the data from form #1 to be passed to form #2. form #2 can be found here: http://ovationpix.com/pay-photo-booth-deposit-online

    does that make more sense?

  4. How about if you combine your confirmation page with the top of the page where form 2 is located? You can tell them if their date is available there, then they can make a choice to exit or make a deposit. You can conditionally show the rest of the form (which is already on the page, just not visible, and already populated with the values from form 1) if they want to make a deposit. or you can let them gracefully exit if they don't want to make a deposit. Can you make that work?

    "You can conditionally show the rest of the form (which is already on the page, just not visible,"

    How would I do this?

    Hey... how do I do what you have proposed? Or how can I complete my original goal?

  7. Instead of using a confirmation page in the middle, put that information in a page, and in that page embed your form #2. Then, the first choice in the form will be "Make a deposit" or "Exit". I'm not really sure what exit does. But if they select "Make a deposit", you reveal the rest of the form. That is done with conditional logic. You can use a section break and apply conditional logic to it. The condition will be "Show this if the drop down choice is 'Make a deposit'."

    I'm not sure what happens if they choose to exit. They could just close the browser window if they wanted to, but if they make the choice to "Exit", where do you send them?
