Hello,
I have a two-fold question. First, for a logged-in user, when a user submits the form, is it possible to have the form automatically submit the user data (email address, name, etc.)?
Secondly, Is it possible to use this data to pre-populate portions of the form like email address, name, etc? Thanks!
I just wanted to bump my own post. Any answers on this? I was hoping to find a solution I could install and implement by the end of the week. Thanks!
Hi there!
You would have to have fields for the logged in user data to go, but yes, using merge tags in the default value, you can have this work as expected.
Where would the data (address) be stored? You can pre-fill anything using our gform_pre_render hook, but you would have to custom code the ability to grab that information and pass it to the fields you want it in.
Thanks for the reply! I would be using the Wordpress user data, so I imagine it would be in the wp_users or wp_usermeta table? I'm fairly familiar with PHP, but might need guidance in writing the hook to pre-populate that data. I don't know how much guidance Gravity Forms can provide though.
You'll be using custom meta, so you'll have to manually code it using hooks. Our gform_pre_render hook is what you'll need to pre-populate fields. Our documentation for this hook is pretty good. You'll have to find tutorials on grabbing custom user meta from other sites though. http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render
