/**
* Gravity Wiz // Gravity Forms // Advanced Merge Tags
*
* Adds support for advanced Gravity Forms merge tags and field modifiers.
*
* Advanced merge tags:
* + post:id=xx&prop=xxx
* Retrieve the desired property of the specified post (by ID).
* + post_meta:id=xx&meta_key=xxx
* custom_field:id=xx&meta_key=xxx
* Retrieve the desired post meta value from the specified post and meta key.
* + source_post:xxx
* Retrieve a property from the source post that displayed the form (when save_source_post_id is enabled).
* + entry:id=xx&prop=xxx
* Retrieve a core entry property (e.g. id, date_created, payment_status).
* + entry_meta:id=xx&meta_key=xxx
* Retrieve an entry meta value for the specified entry and meta key.
*
* Value helpers:
* + get() modifier
* Retrieve a value from the query string ($_GET).
* Example: post_meta:id=get(pid)&meta_key=xxx
* + post() modifier
* Retrieve a value from the current POST payload ($_POST).
* Example: post_meta:id=post(pid)&meta_key=xxx
*
* GET merge tags:
* + {get:foo}
* Retrieve the "foo" query string parameter.
* + {get:foo[whitelist=one,two,three]}
* Only output the value when it matches the whitelist.
*
* Dynamic population:
* + Supports using advanced merge tags in "Allow field to be populated dynamically" parameter names.
* Example: a field with parameter name "{post:id=get(pid)&prop=post_title}" will be pre-populated accordingly.
*
* HTML fields:
* + {HTML:3}
* Output the content of HTML field ID 3.
* + {all_fields:allowHtmlFields}
* Include HTML field content when outputting {all_fields}.
*
* Field modifiers (used as :modifier on merge tags/fields):
* + :wordcount
* Return the word count for the field value.
* + :urlencode
* URL-encode the value.
* + :rawurlencode
* Raw URL-encode the value.
* + :uppercase
* Convert the value to uppercase.
* + :lowercase
* Convert the value to lowercase.
* + :capitalize
* Capitalize each word in the value.
* + :mask
* Mask the value, preserving only the first and last character. Special handling for email addresses.
* + :abbr
* For Address fields, return the two-letter country code of the selected country.
* + :selected[0]
* For Checkbox and Multi Select fields, return the selected choice at the given zero-based index.
* + :gravatar[format=url,size=64,default=...]
* For Email fields, output a Gravatar URL or image tag based on the email address.
* + :base64
* Return the base64-encoded value.
*
* Example use case:
*
* You have multiple realtors, each represented by their own WordPress page. On each page is a
* "Contact this Realtor" link that passes the realtor page ID as "pid" in the query string. A
* single contact form can then display:
*
* "You are contacting realtor {post:id=get(pid)&prop=post_title}."
*
* This retrieves the post_title (e.g. "Bob Smith") of the realtor page the visitor came from.
*
* Plugin Name: Gravity Forms Advanced Merge Tags
* Plugin URI: https://gravitywiz.com
* Description: Provides a host of new ways to work with Gravity Forms merge tags and field modifiers.
* Version: 1.6
* Author: Gravity Wiz
* Author URI: https://gravitywiz.com/
