Remembering user's information

    Hi,
    I am running a photo a day contest. I am wondering if Gravity forms can remember previous user information?
    For instance, let's say A user submits a Bio, website address, etc... through A form i create. Then they submit another in the future. It would be handy for them to not have to re-enter that information and it would make getting new submissions more likely since it would be less work for them.

    Idealy once they submit a form, the next time they some to the site, once they enter their email, their name, website address and Bio would auto fill for them.

    Gravity Forms doesn't do this by default. But it could be done by using the available Gravity Forms API hooks and writing your own PHP. It would have to rely on cookies in order to work.

    - Use the post submission hook to store the information as cookies
    - Use the pre-population filter to pre-populate fields based on their cookies

    You would need to know some PHP to accomplish it but it is doable.

    Hmm, Anyone you know that would do this for a fee?
    I can't write PHP. I am a photographer who knows enough about wordpress to be dangerous.
    :)
