Populating a form Dynamically

Hi

I have a form which i want to use to edit a post that a user has created.

I have the follwoing code and I need to pre-populate the example field in the gravity form in this case with "HELO" but obviously will eventually be the variable generated by the query. Im inside the wp-loop BUT i'm quirying a different post ID from the one that the loop is displaying.

The gravity form is embeded from the post-dashboard using the shortcode

This code is not prepolulating the form...? Any thoughts would be really appreciated.

Thanks

<?php  $targetPost = $_GET['postID']; 

 $postTitle = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID=$targetPost;"));

echo '<p>Post Title is: ' . $postTitle . '</p>';

 add_filter("gform_field_value_form_post_title", "populate_form_post_title");

function populate_form_post_title($value){

	return "HELLO";

}
?>

Hi Carl

Thanks for coming back to me. I already had the settings done to allow form to be populated dynamivaclly.

I tested by putting my code into the theme functions file and it populates the form field correctly.

I have changed the way the form is embeded so that it is embeded from my page template and this is also where my other code is. So I have the following code located on a page template inside the LOOP....which is still not working

BTW....I checked and the dynamic field name is correctly form_post_title

So my code is:

<?php  $targetPost = $_GET['postID']; ?>

<?php echo $targetPost; ?>				

<?php $postTitle = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID=$targetPost;"));
	echo '<p>Post Title is XXXXXX: ' . $postTitle . '</p>';
?>

<?php gravity_form(3, false, false, false, '', true); ?>

<?php add_filter("gform_field_value_form_post_title", "populate_form_post_title");
	function populate_form_post_title($value){

	return "helo";

	//return get_post_meta($post->ID, 'property_feed_id', true);
}
?>

Hi Luke,

Could you clarify why you need to add the filter in the loop as opposed to in the functions file?
