Radio Buttons and Number Merge Tags

    Hi,

    I'm new to gravity forms but have a little bit of background in php and javascript. I've had a look at the leadership quiz examples mentioned in a number of the forum posts, but I saw the new number merge tag functionality and wondered if it could be an easier solution to what I am trying to accomplish.

    What I'm doing is taking medical questionnaires where each question has a severity of 1 - 5 via a radio button for each, and then tabulating the results, where each higher range of numbers triggers a different message. My main stumbling point is finding each radio button's ID, so I can assign a value to it.

    I suppose I could do the method shown in the leadership quiz examples, but I can't seem to find a method to modify it for my purposes without a lot of code-bloat. If I could use a merge tag to sum the values of the radio fields in a number box that would be most helpful.

    Thanks a ton,
    Zephyr

    The radio button IDs can be found by viewing the source of the page where the form is embedded. I usually do this in the form preview because it is the least cluttered.

    You can also dump the $entry object with var_dump or print_r in a gform_after_submission hook. But viewing the source will normally get you the IDs you need. Let us know if you need more help with that.

    If you post a link to your form online we might be able to help by viewing the source there as well.
