Passing data to Gravity Forms

[sofied1]

I am currently building an intranet. We have GF and Events Calendar Pro. I want people to be able to pick from a limited list of classes (10) to sign up for, which should come from the calendar where they are listed, along with their corresponding dates. What do I need to enter (shortcode etc.) in order to accomplish this? Thanks.

PS. The site is private, I cannot share access.

Hi Sofie

You can certainly customize that on your end.

You can start with https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-post-meta-data/. This will help you match up the values The Events Calendar will work with to the fields in Gravity Forms.

https://wpforms.com/create-a-user-submitted-events-calendar-in-wordpress/ is a tutorial for a similar product and might be a good reference as you build.

Let me know how this goes!

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Courtney:

Thank you for the links. Neither of them contain the information that I am looking for, unfortunately. I need to pull the event name by category into a Gravity form, and I need to know if that can be done, and if so, how. Basically, if somebody wants to request an event through this form, rather than browsing the calendar itself, I want the form to have a prepopulated dropdown with available events by category to choose from.

Can you enlighten me, please?

Thanks,

Hi, Sofie. I’m chiming in here to help on this advanced topic.

Please note that providing code customizations isn’t part of our normal Scope of Support / Terms, but I’ll try to point you in the right direction.

Firstly, it sounds like you’ll need to reference https://docs.gravityforms.com/dynamically-populating-drop-down-fields/ for the dependent option (the list of Events based on the selected Event Category)

To get the list of events per Event Category, you’ll want to reference:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/
• and https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters

This code sample might be just what you need to get started:

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
