cookie dat into hidden field

the field comes up empty

Hey @happysusan,

Really sorry about the video! It seems that Vimeo redirected me to another video, right after I logged into my account, that was sent by a customer a long time ago. Not sure why this has happened though, but it seems like I watched another video.

Even so, after accessing again the link you’ve shared, I did watch the correct video.

And I believe I found the issue. It seems there’s a typo in the code I’ve sent. The end quote from the function_exists check. Really sorry about this.

Here’s the complete code:

<input type="hidden"  name="affiliateid" value="<?php echo ( function_exists( 'slicewp_get_referrer_affiliate_id' ) ? slicewp_get_referrer_affiliate_id() : '0' ); ?>">

Please update the field’s code and try again. I believe that it should work now.

Please let me know how it goes.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai

that did not work

same result as before the field is not got any content

Hey @happysusan,

Hmm… that’s weird… Can you please change the code to this:

<input type="hidden" name="affiliateid" value="test">

Or this:

<input type="hidden" name="affiliateid" value="21">

I just want to make sure the field is registering data. If the above two work, then it’s something related to the PHP part of the code I’ve sent.

Please try the above two and let me know if they work or not.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai

<input type="hidden" name="affiliateid" value="21">

that added 21 to the affiliate ID field in the backend

<input type="hidden" name="affiliateid" value="test">

that worked as well

sorry was I supposed to replace
the orginal code with the above one

testing again

testing again sorry

Hmm…

Can you please try these as well:

<input type="hidden" name="affiliateid" value="0">

<input type="hidden" name="affiliateid" value="<?php echo 0; ?>">

<input type="hidden" name="affiliateid" value="<?php echo slicewp_get_referrer_affiliate_id(); ?>">

Also, I’m really sorry for the back and forth! Considering this is a tool I’ve never used, it does take some time to get used to how it works.

Please let me know how the above perform.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai

the above code does not work

Hey @happysusan,

So, if you set the value of the affiliateid hidden field to “test” it works, but if you set it to “21” it no longer works?

no sorry my bad

earlier in the form theres

<input type="hidden"  name="field_231" value="">

I changed that to

<input type="hidden"  name="field_231" value="21">

and it worked

however if I replace

<input type="hidden"  name="affiliateid" value="<?php echo ( function_exists( 'slicewp_get_referrer_affiliate_id' ) ? slicewp_get_referrer_affiliate_id() : '0' ); ?>">

with

<input type="hidden"  name="affiliateid" value="21">

does not work

I will test out the others you said


I might name a form field affilateID but within the form the form calls it field_231 not sure if that has anything to do with the issue

Hey @happysusan,

Based on all the tests, I believe this following code should do the job:

<input type="hidden" name="field_231" value="<?php echo ( function_exists( 'slicewp_get_referrer_affiliate_id' ) ? slicewp_get_referrer_affiliate_id() : '0' ); ?>">

Please try it out and let me know how it goes.
