Hello,
I use Affiliate Plugin on my Wordpress site and would like to pass the referrer ID into a hidden field.
The referrer ID can be retrieved from the affiliate plugin using the following line of code:
$referrer_id = $_COOKIE['ap_id'];
Please advise how I can pass this information programmatically into a hidden field?
Create the hidden field, go to advanced and put a check mark in the allow field to be populated dynamically and give it a parameter name... then take a look at the following documentation:
http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name
You should be able to then grab your variable value and push it into your hidden field.
Hi David,
I tried your passing a hard coded date as per the instructions and it worked. When I modified the code to try and pass the referrer ID it fails. Here's the code:
<?php
add_filter("gform_field_value_referral", "populate_referral");
function populate_referral($value){
return $referrer_id = $_COOKIE['ap_id'];
}
?>
Can you please offer some assistance on how I would modify the code (as you can tell I'm just not that familiar with php).
Thanks very much!
Sorry, I don't understand the issue currently. Is it just not picking up on the Cookied value but it worked when you had it as a hard coded value? Or do you have two things being filed out via the same method?
