Retreive details from prior form submissions

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if there is any way I can use previous submissions to prepopulate a form.

    Basically I am trying to make a registration form for a dog boarding facility... I would like new clients to fill out the entire form, but previous clients would just put in a customer ID and a password and somehow the rest of the form would be prepopulated.

    Any ideas/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    You would probably want to use the User Registration Add-on to be able to create WordPress users with Gravity Forms. That way they could log into WordPress to be able to pull data or details into your second form.

    That may be one solution... where can I learn more how to implement this? Do you know of any good tutorials or examples?

    I can point out some links for you, but as of yet, there isn't a step-by-step tutorial for what you want to do.

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/User_Registration_Add-On <- Details on the registration add-on

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/User_Registration_Add-on_Developer_Docs <- Registration Add-on hooks

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo <- Grabbing current user details.

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render <- Pre-populating fields.

    Hope this helps. If not, posting the job in our Job Board might help as there are many skilled people that could complete this for you.
