<p>This plugin allows you to use $_COOKIE, $_SERVER, $_SESSION, $_GET, $_POST and $_REQUEST data in a Gravity Form through the merge tags of a field. I’ve only really tested this using a hidden field.</p>


Gravity Forms Extended Merge Tags

It's amazing how few people seem to know about this plugin. Incredibly simple, but also really helpful when using $_SESSION variables to track website visitors.
I use it to get referring website data, so I can easily store it in a $__SESSION variable. Then when the visitor fills out a Gravity Form, I can pass along the stored vars.
I crafted a Lead Source Tracking for Salesforce script that uses this plugin to pass along the details to Salesforce when a form is submitted.



Brilliantly simple

This plugin allows you to use $_COOKIE, $_SERVER, $_SESSION, $_GET, $_POST and $_REQUEST data in a Gravity Form through the merge tags of a field.

<p>This plugin links your Magento installation and WordPress by instantiating the Magento’s Mage object. It is done by using PHP <code>require_once</code> of the file <code>Mage.php</code> supplied by Magento. By doing this, the administrator will be able to pull and push information to/from the Magento. This requires a working Magento setup prior to installation of this plugin. At the moment, Mage object can be used to non-admin pages such as themes.</p>
<h4>Is this plugin for you?</h4>
<p>If you know how to program using PHP with basic knowledge of object oriented programming and familiar with Magento, then yes, this plugin is for you. The plugin, once activated, gives you a raw access to the Mage object which you can use to access Magento methods within WordPress and do stuff like <a href="http://mysillypointofview.richardferaro.com/2010/04/08/how-to-use-magentos-session-within-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">single login</a>, <a href="http://mysillypointofview.richardferaro.com/2010/07/03/how-to-add-magento-blocks-css-and-javascript-to-an-external-site/" rel="nofollow ugc">pull templates from Magento</a>, display categories, <a href="http://mysillypointofview.richardferaro.com/2010/06/04/add-a-product-with-custom-options-into-magento-cart-from-external-site/" rel="nofollow ugc">products</a> and checkout from your blog and many <a href="http://docs.magentocommerce.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">more</a>. It’s basically extending the ecommerce function of Magento to your WordPress blog.</p>
<h4>This plugin is not for you if:</h4>
<ul>
<li>You want to display your WordPress blog within your Magento shop (Go to Magento Connect instead)</li>
<li>You don’t know how to program using PHP</li>
<li>You have no idea what Magento is</li>
</ul>
<p>Please do take some time to rate the plugin as well as fill in the information needed in the compatibility section. It would be great if you can share your site (only if you’re allowed to do so) which uses this plugin but it is optional though.</p>
