Hello,
I would like to see where my form-submitting-customers come from. Is there a way of getting that information directly to the notification mail that i receive when the form is submitted? May be with a hidden auto-populated field?
THanks in advance!
The IP address of the computer where the form was submitted from is captured. I think you would have to take that information and use a library like GeoIP to convert the IP address to a location. You would have to install the GeoIP library (or use an external service) then use the gform_pre_submission_filter http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission_filter since you want to put this information into the admin notification.
Does not sound too complicated, but will require a couple pieces and a bit of code to make it happen. The information is already being captured by Gravity Forms. It's up to you to process it and put it into a format you like.
Thank you for a quick reply Chris,
It sounds exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately I lack the code writing skills to pull thought with your solution but I pasted the following in the message body of notification mail and it works fine:
<a href="http://www.geoiptool.com/en/?IP={Hidden IP:6}" rel="nofollow">Check out where I live</a>
Hope some geo options will be available in the upcoming updates of gforms :)
Cheers
That was going to be my second suggestion :-) I do that for a couple sites of mine. Glad you were able to work around the problem, and thanks for the suggestion.
