Hi

Im building a form to edit post meta data. I'm presuming the setup will be as follows.

1) Pass the postID to a hidden field via the URL on which the form is located

2. Prepopulate the form fields with the existing post-meta fields. (I have this setup already so no questions about this)

3. On form submit use the post submission hook to call a "example-processing.php" file where I handle the relevant database entriees to add the details tto the wp_postmeta table

//////////////

So if the above is correct I have the following questions:

1. Can you provide a brief code example for how to use the post submission hook in these circumstances

2. Can you provide a brief code example for how to reference the data inside my "example-processing.php" file. I have no problem with the subsequent database entries once I have the variables declared in this file.

Thanks as always for your help

Luke

Hi
I just wanted to say I have solved this issue and have everything working correctly.

For others who have a similar issue the code I used is as follows:

//Process the edit-submitted-post gravity form entries..
add_action("gform_post_submission_3", "form_update_post_meta", 10, 2);
function form_update_post_meta($entry,$form){
$targetPost = $_GET['postID'];
global $wpdb;
$screen1title = $entry["3"];
$wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->postmeta SET meta_value= '$screen1title' WHERE post_id=$targetPost AND meta_key='slide_1_title'");
}
