Goal

Create a custom merge tag that outputs a secure GravityView Edit Entry link for the current entry when displayed inside a GravityView context.

The snippet registers the merge tags:

{gview_edit_entry_link}
{gview_edit_entry_link:Link Text}

These tags generate an edit link to the current entry within the active GravityView.

Usage

{gview_edit_entry_link:Your Link Text}

{gview_edit_entry_link:Update your submission}

Default Behavior

If no link text is provided, the merge tag will automatically use: Edit Entry

Where It Works

The merge tag works in any content processed through Gravity Forms merge tags, including:

• GravityView Custom Content fields
• Gravity Forms confirmations
• Gravity Forms notifications
• Any text processed through gform_replace_merge_tags

Features

• Generates a GravityView Edit Entry link for the current entry.
• Uses the current View ID automatically (no configuration required).
• Ensures the link is only displayed if the current user has permission to edit the entry.
• Supports custom link text.

Customizing the Link Text

You can customize the text displayed in the edit link by adding text after the merge tag using a colon.
