I have an index page which lists all of my events.
The form is embedded using the shortcode:
[gravityform id=10 ajax=true description=false title=false]
Next to each event there is a a URL link "Make a resevation" which calls the gravity form.
I need to use a hook which will pass the event name to an Admin field in the gravity form.
How can i do this? Presumably by grabbing the title i define somehow on the "Make a reservation" URL.
many thanks
You should be able to pass the event name via a query string in your link that will then populate the form accordingly. See this page (query string method):
http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population
Following the tutorial - I need this
http://siteurl.com/form-url/?event_name=This is test
But what is the form-url ?
I can't find the form-url anywhere in the options..
The form URL is whatever page you've embedded the form on in your site.
what if I embed the form on the same page like this... it doesn't seem to work... I can send you a private link to our beta site to check this out..
<a class="ajax" href="#contact-calendar">Book Tickets</a>
<div style="display:none;">
<div id="contact-calendar" >
[gravityform id=10 ajax=true description=false title=false tabindex=200]
</div>
</div>If you have a link to get to the form, that link would be like this:
http://yoursite.com/pagewithform/?event_name=Circus
On the Page with the form, you would have a field that is hidden that has Allow Dynamic Population checked off, with the parameter being event_name. Then when someone comes to the form with a query string, that field will be filled out.
