Hi,

I 'm working on a car dealer website. On my CPT layout page I want to have a button like on the classified reference site: hidden link But, instead of passing the advertiser / current user value to the CRED form, I want to pass one of the CPT's values (ownersvehicle_id) to the CRED form to prepopulate one of its fields.

Based on the reference site I used the following code:

<!-- For the link button -->
<p><a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary single-contact-button" href="[wpv-bloginfo show='url']/contact/?listing-id=[wpv-post-id]">Contact Us</a></p>
<!-- In the CRED form -->
<div class="form-group">
		<label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-Create content - Posts-9557' name='Wagen']Car[/wpml-string]</label>
		[cred_field field='contact-car' post='contact-form' value='[wpv-post-field name='wpcf-ownersvehicle_id']' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
	</div>

But this doesn't work. I'm not sure about the shortcode to use for the CRED field value. Is there somthing else I'm missing?

Thanks

Hi, if you want to pass an argument into the CRED form page, you need to add it to your link's href attribute:

<a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary single-contact-button" href="[wpv-bloginfo show='url']/contact/?listing-id=[wpv-post-id]&contactcarparam=[wpv-post-field name='wpcf-ownersvehicle_id']">Contact Us</a>

Now when this link is clicked, the contactcarparam URL parameter will be set on the CRED form page. The CRED field should use the same urlparam attribute of 'contactcarparam', so that this value is automatically set in your form using the value from the URL.

[cred_field field='contact-car' post='contact-form' urlparam='contactcarparam' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']

Hi,

Thanks! That works great.

Now imagine I want to put the CRED form on the same page (the CPT layout page), what shortcode should I use in my form then?

Something like this?

[cred_field field='contact-car' post='contact-form' value='[wpv-post-field name='wpcf-ownersvehicle_id']' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']

or this

[cred_field field='contact-car' post='contact-form' value=[types field='ownersvehicle_id'][/types]' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']

You should use the wpv-post-field shortcode with an id attribute, so you can add a reference to the current post:

[wpv-post-field name='wpcf-ownersvehicle_id' id='$current_page']
