I purchased both Form & link plug-ins. I want to simplify the process and make the users “register” before they are allowed to fill out the form. I am doing this by creating a wp-registration form… then redirecting to the connections-form.

This works fine, but now they customer has to enter redundant information in the connection-form. Can I use a query string from the my wp-registration, to automatically complete fields in the connection form?

for example, my wp-registration form will output this: contact_first_name={Name (First):2.3}.

The first part – contact_first_name is the text input on the connection form, and the second part is the text input from my wp-registration

It outputs this:

http://domain.com/connectionform/?contact-first-name=Test.

The problem is, they are not syncing… I would like it to fill out “Test” in the name field.

 

Any help would be awesome- Thanks

You can but it’ll actually take quite a bit of editing Form to accept the query strings. That’s assuming your registration form can send them.

First, you must register all you query strings with WordPress by creating a function and hooking into the query_vars filter. See this: http://thewordpresswarrior.com/616/passing-variables-via-url

The you would have to edit Form to do two things. First the easiest, get the query vars using this function, http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_query_var. The second, come up with a way to tell form to have sections open by default so the form inputs are available.

I hope that helps to point you in the right direction.
