What function outputs the actual form?

  1. I am creating an addon plugin for Gravity Forms. I have the form ID I want to output in my plugin code - but what function within the Gravity Form Plugin actually outputs the form and such. I have tried this:

    GFFormDisplay::get_form($atts['form']);

    from my plugin but it does not output anything. Does anyone have any insight on this?

    Thanks!

  2. Please see the documentation here:
    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form

    [php]
    <?php gravity_form($id, $display_title=true, $display_description=true, $display_inactive=false, $field_values=null, $ajax=false, $tabindex); ?>

    That will work in a theme file. Will that work in your plugin?

  3. Chris,

    This may work. I need to pre-populate it with an old submission though - is there an easy way to do this pulling the info from the database? Then with the use of Gravity Forms hooks I will want to "update" the submission rather than create a new one.

    The idea is that this will be used for a My Account page.

    Thanks,
    Travis

  4. Duh!

    GFFormDisplay::get_form($atts['form']);

    works just fine - I didn't put RETURN before it in PHP. I still could use a pointer in the right direction about pre-population though. Is there a way to pull this easily out of the database? In your function you provided:

    <?php gravity_form($id, $display_title=true, $display_description=true, $display_inactive=false, $field_values=null, $ajax=false, $tabindex); ?>

    is there a way to get an array for $field_values easily from the database of an already submitted form I guess is what I'm asking. Thanks for being so active on this support forum!

    Thanks,
    Travis

  5. That sounds like a separate issue altogether. Now that we have the function to display a form in your plugin, please start a new topic for this new pre-population issue and we'll help you out there.

    Here are the different ways to pre-populate form fields:

    You might want the http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name filter
