Passing form data from one form to another

Hello, so I looked around for a while on the forums and I haven't quite seen someone asking about my current issue.

Basically I have a form on the homepage of my site that is just collecting an email field. Once the user hits the join us button I want the button to redirect them to a join us page that will have the full join us form and populate the email field.

The site is not live so I cannot link to it, and I was given this snippet of code.

add_filter('query_vars', 'parameter_queryvars' );
function parameter_queryvars( $qvars ) {
        $qvars[] = 'emailsignup';
        return $qvars;
}

add_filter("gform_pre_render_7", "populate_email");
function populate_email($form_meta) {
    $form_meta["emailsignup"] = $_GET["emailsignup"];
    return $form_meta;
}

I slightly understand the populate function, I just don't understand where we name the field "emailsignup". The queryvars function I am totally lost on and don't really understand how to send that data in the first place. I'm assuming it is something that I must edit in the gui portion of gravity forms but I am not sure what. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

This was very helpful thank you. I didn't know it would be so easy and without any coding. Very impressive plugin you have here.

Btw, do you know how much the new gravity form (with multi-page) will be? We need the functionality really soon and I'm not sure whether the price variance (vs developer) is huge or not that it is worth the wait. Thanks

How about if the data is not included in the form. I know that I can pass the data via query string but I want to include one content of the page in the query string that not included in the form?.. is it possible?

http://tradephonein.com/evaluate-you-device/?phone=IPhone4s , the form is created using gravity form, but the image is not included in the form I just displayed that because I pulled out the image form the database using this statement. "display image where phone = phonemodel", phone model is the iPhone4s.

you'll see that I have phone=IPhone4s on my query string that's why i was able to display the image. Because of my desire to pass the data of my form into the next page I used the "Pass Field Data Via Query String (?)" I thought phone=IPhone4s will remain in the query string but I was wrong, it's not absolutely missing. Now how can I include phone=IPhone4s on gravity's passing data field. Do I need to code it? but how?

yeah, I want to use that value on the next form that's why I want to include it on the query string..

Please help me, I am having a problem or misunderstanding the CONDITIONAL LOGIC for drop down menu list.

I have 10 drop down list with a question on them each question it leads your to another question, but for now lets just say i have 4 drop down list. and when you finish answering all the question the submit button will show.

The problem i am facing is when i select (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 fields) and decided to change the Q1) to (Q2) my old selection still show below the (Q2).

I have to go back to the (Q!( to deselect them all to hide them witch can be confusing for my visitors and always the last field show, so here is what i did on the conditional logic i added a extra rules on each question saying ( on the conditional logic Show this field if all of the following match: WHICH SERVICE DO YOU REQUIRE? | IS NOT |

and also when ever i deselect the field to the main one the last question always show it does not hide?

---Example -------------

lets say i have 5 questions i would like to ask my visitors.

WHICH SERVICE DO YOU REQUIRE??
- QUESTION (1)
- QUESTION (2)
- QUESTION (3)
- QUESTION (4)
- QUESTION (5)

Now if the visitor select the QUESTION (1) field another drop down list will drop.

Q2)
- EMERGENCY
- QUESTION (1)
- QUESTION (2)
- QUESTION (3)

If they click on QUESTION (2) another drop down field will drop

Q3)

- QUESTION (1)
- QUESTION (2)
- QUESTION (3)
- QUESTION (4)
- QUESTION (5)
- QUESTION (6)
- QUESTION (7)
- QUESTION (8)

Last question if the user select QUESTION (7) a body text field will show
and they can add they note

Q4) add note or request call back

They is still a problem if u go back to (Q1) on the main drop down menu list all the field you have select are there, even if you decided to go for question (2) and went back to question (1) the prev fields show why is that?

I haven't sleep for 24 hours trying to understand this rules and how i can fix this
CONDITIONAL LOGIC.

Thank you in advance for your plugin and timing

Philip, I'm thinking you can use the conditional notification shortcodes. Check out this documentation:

Hi,

Here is the code that I am testing

[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{EU Savings Tax Directive:5.1}" condition="is" value="01"]
EU Savings Directive Investment Guide
[/gravityforms]

and here is the error message that appears in the resulting email

Oops! We could not locate your form.

I'm not sure if the merge-tag is the issue as it is a checkbox in a form field.

Thanks again.

Hi Rob,

Yes, 01 is the value of the EU Savings Tax Directive Checkbox.

There is no link back to the form from the email.

I will try some variants this morning.

This morning I get different results. I no longer get the "Oops! We could not locate your form." error.

The link text does not display when a box is checked.

My understanding is that the checkbox value is only set when the box is checked by the visitor. If I am wrong then I am perhaps using the wrong merge-tag.

Can you export the form and send the XML file to me to rob@rocketgenius.com and reference this post. I'm going to need to look at the form to see better what it is exactly you are trying to achieve.

Hi,

Rob has already looked at this issue but was unable to replicate it. The issue is now apparent to my client at 2 locations in Europe.

The code currently reads

[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{Select your Guides:5}" condition="is" value="EU Savings Tax Directive"]
EU Savings Tax Directive Investment Guide
[/gravityforms]
[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{Select your Guides:5}" condition="is" value="Personal Insurance"]
Personal Insurance Investment Guide
[/gravityforms]
[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{Select your Guides:5}" condition="is" value="Estate Planning"]
Estate Planning Investment Guide
[/gravityforms]
[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{Select your Guides:5}" condition="is" value="Planning for Retirement"]
Planning for Retirement Guide
[/gravityforms]
[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{Select your Guides:5}" condition="is" value="Wealth Management"]
Wealth Management Guide
[/gravityforms]

However, the links do not appear as they should either on the notification email or the confirmation message.

Any help will be appreciated.

Philip

Just run a couple of tests on my code.

If I select only one option the whole thing works but if I select more than one option it doesn't work.

Hi David,

I think that I have fixed the issue (at least it now works for me). Instead of

merge_tag="{Select your Guides:5}"

The merge tag should be at the next level down

merge_tag="{EU Savings Tax Directive:5.1}"
merge_tag="{Personal Insurance:5.2}"

And so on.

I have enable values checkbox checked.

Thanks for getting back to me and best wishes to Rob.

Philip

Can you please give an example of what Carl Hancock mentioned above? I have form 1 containing one field called "city" (without quotes) and want to pass that to form 2 and put that value in a field named "city1" . I've read the post http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population
and I'm still confused. In the post the http://siteurl.com/form-url/?your_parameter=value
how do I put the data of the "city" field in form 1 in the "value" parameter in the string above?
Is value the name of the field?

Carl wrote above:
To do this you will need to Setup Form 1 so that it's confirmation is a redirect to the page containing Form 2. Choose the URL Redirect and type the full path to the page containing Form 2 and then use the query string builder to pass email={email field value} so that it redirects to the page containing Form 2 and passes the value of the email field in the query string.

On Form 2 you would edit the Email field, selected the Advanced tab and choose the option to enable the field to be populated dynamically. For the parameter name you would use "email" (without the quotes).

Now when you link to the page containing form 2 and pass ?email=the@email.com in the query string it should pre-populate that email field. If you setup Form 2 properly it will do this as it's confirmation redirect.
