URL Parameter help

    Hi, I know that I can use filters for this, but I’m not sure just how.

    I would like to capture URL parameters in the form. I use this for PPC tracking form entires.

    An example URL would look like this:

    https://www.example.com?c=123&kw=string

    the ‘c’ and ‘kw’ fields are present in SF, and I can reference them either by id (00N20000009J06l) or API name (Campaign_ID__c)

    So my question is if I create these above as hidden fields in the form, what syntax do I need for the filter? At the moment, I think I need to add a little more than just the below as otherwise, the filter doesn’t know which parameter is which.

    So I need to say that if parameter ‘c’ exists in the URL it is field campaign_ID__c

    <?php
/*
How to use:
1. Create a custom URL field at SalesForce
2. Replace URL_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME below with the name of the custom field you setup in SalesForce, 
   it will be something like EmbedUrl__c
3. Add a hidden field to each form with the same field name (e.g. "EmbedUrl__c").
4. Make sure the hidden field is enabled (or it won’t be output with the form/get filled/be sent to SF).
5. Profit
*/
add_filter( 'salesforce_w2l_field_value', 'salesforce_w2l_field_c', 10, 3 );
function salesforce_w2l_field_c( $val, $field, $form ){
    // Target a specific field on all forms
    if( $field == 'CAMPAIGN_ID__c' ) 
         $val = esc_url("https://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    return $val;
    
}

    Should the above work?

    I was looking at the wrong filter here.

    What I actually need to do is like below. Do I have to make a function for each parameter, or can I add a bunch into the one? If I can, what would the syntax be?

    add_filter( 'salesforce_w2l_field_value', 'salesforce_w2l_field_value_querystring_example', 10, 3 );

function salesforce_w2l_field_value_querystring_example( $val, $field, $form ){

    $form_id = 1; // form id to act upon
    $field_name = 'source__c'; // API Name of the field you want to autofill
    $qs_var = 'source'; // e.g. ?source=foo

    if( $form == $form_id && $field_name == $field ){
        if( isset( $_GET[ $qs_var ] ) ){
            return $_GET[ $qs_var ];
        }
    }

    return $val;

}

    This solution worked for me:

    function getParameterByName(name) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
    var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
        results = regex.exec(location.search);
    return results == null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#sf_field1").val(getParameterByName("param1"));
    $("#sf_field2").val(getParameterByName("param2"));
});

    Then https://www.example.com/page/?param1=123&param2=XYZ will populate the fields for you

    Good Luck!

    Hi jdevelop, I actually managed to fix this using the filter as per my last post, but I like how you think!
