Using Pods Gravity Forms Add-On to Edit a Specific ID

Using specific filters, you can load a specific id into a Gravity Form with a Pods Feed established even if the form is not embedded on the Post

The following code snippet assumes a couple of things:

  1. You created the posts you’re loading to edit from a Gravity Form with a Feed
  2. You know the Post ID and the Form ID you’re loading into
<?php
/**
 * Override the item ID that is edited by the Gravity Form when using a Pods feed.
 *
 * @param int    $edit_id  Edit ID.
 * @param string $pod_name Pod name.
 * @param int    $form_id  GF Form ID.
 * @param array  $feed     GF Form feed array.
 * @param array  $form     GF Form array.
 * @param array  $options  Pods GF options.
 * @param Pods   $pod      Pods object.
 *
 * @return int The edit ID to use.

function my_custom_pods_gf_edit_id( $edit_id, $pod_name, $form_id, $feed, $form, $options, $pod ) {
	// Only change the edit_id if this is for the form ID 123.
	if ( 123 !== (int) $form_id ) {
		return $edit_id;
	}

	// Check access rights, adjust this as needed.
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() || ! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) {
		return $edit_id;
	}

	// Check if the edit_id passed into the URL was set.
	if ( ! isset( $_GET['my_edit_id'] ) ) {
		return $edit_id;
	}

	// Force the edit_id to one from the URL.
	$edit_id = absint( $_GET['my_edit_id'] );

	// Let's add the filter so we tell Pods to prepopulate the form with this item's data.
	add_filter( 'pods_gf_addon_prepopulate', 'my_custom_pods_gf_prepopulate', 10, 7 );
