    Hi,

    First: great work, its the best piece of software I ever bought in my life, thanks for that!

    I'm trying to put into use the user reg. add-on and while being able to use the form for registratating I would also like to use another form letting the user edit his own details (don't want them to go to wp-admin..). So I managed to use the gform_pre_render_ID and get/edit/return the form with the already saved used details but my questions are as follow:

    1. is there a better/shorter way? something i'm missing to take the user to the registration form with all his details pre-populated and just save it there?

    case not:
    2. should I overwrite in the fields array "content" AND "defaultValue" or only is enough/efficient, case so which?
    3. is there some convenience static function to edit those fields? something like overwrite(fieldID,newValue)?

    Thats it.. thanks again!

    • 1 - Here is another way to populate user meta into a field: http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/right-parameter-names-to-pre-populate-the-names-fields#post-16420

      If you are already comfortable with code, using the gform_pre_render hook may be the faster way to complete this. There is no pre-built function that does this currently.

    • 2 - You should only need to update the defaultValue property.
    • 3 - There is no pre-built function for this either. Though if you take a look at the code provided for item 1, the filter used there might replace your need for such a function.

      • Let me know if you have any more questions on this. :)
