Get Account Name

I researched the forums, but couldn't find what I am looking for.

I don't know if anyone will answer or if this is possible, but I am looking to make a form that when people enter a code, it will pull up the account name.

After that, it will allow users to enter up to 10 email addresses to send to their friends/families to support their fundraising efforts, the email is generic and will only include the first name

I want the email to be sent from the user. So if John enters the 10 email addresses, the From will be from John.

I am not sure I am explaining myself, but if anyone knows how to do this, I'd appreciate any help. I only have the basic license, not business or developer, so I don't know if there are limitations due to licensing restrictions.

Thanks

Hi David,

Wow, I am impressed at how quickly I got a response.. Thanks for that..

I will generate the account code and share it with the participants who will them tell their friends to enter that code online and pull up the form.

I would love to know how to do the above!! Thanks so much David!

First off, thanks again for the outstanding support...

I read both of your topic suggestions and I am more confused now. I guess I was getting it by the last topic (http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id) but the link with the solution david smith posted is not coming up, so I am just wondering what the actual code I need to modify would be.

I just want a generated number, could be random or consecutive, doesn't matter.
6 digits long, doesn't matter if it is only numeric or alpha numeric.
I want the number to be linked to the person's name (for reporting purposes)
and I want the number to be emailed to the person and to me

thoughts?

OK I copied that code ti my theme_functions.php file, then replaced the form ID and the field ID, updated file, then added a hidden field in my form and named it StudentID, but I'm stuck.. Is that all I have to do to generate the random number?

I don't know if I'm not supposed to post code on here, so if that's the case, feel free to delete it.. but this is what I have

add_filter("gform_field_value_StudentID", "get_unique");

function get_unique(){

    $prefix = "FP"; // update the prefix here

    do {
        $unique = mt_rand();
        $unique = substr($unique, 0, 6);
        $unique = $prefix . $unique;
    } while (!check_unique($unique));

    return $unique;
}

function check_unique($unique) {
    global $wpdb;

    $table = $wpdb->prefix . 'rg_lead_detail';
    $form_id = 4; // update to the form ID your unique id field belongs to
    $field_id = 2; // update to the field ID your unique id is being prepopulated in
    $result = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT value FROM $table WHERE form_id = '$form_id' AND field_number = '$field_id' AND value = '$unique'");

    if(empty($result))
        return true;

    return false;
}

So then I added that field id to my emails.. So far, nothing has happened, I don't see a number generated in the reports or emails.
