			<description>&#60;p&#62;I have a form and enabled &#34;No duplicates&#34; on the email address field. However, this now blocks some email addresses that are unique and after searching the entries those addresses are NOT found in the form entries, so they should not be blocked. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Using Gravity Forms 1.7.6 and Wordpress 3.5.2.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The form in question has about 5430 entries containing unique email addresses.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Do you know what can cause this problem?
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hello,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Sorry for the delay in responding, you might want to take a look at using the &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_confirmation_anchor&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;gform_confirmation_anchor&#60;/a&#62; filter which will automatically scroll the page to the form if validation fails, you would add the following to your theme functions.php file&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;add_filter(&#38;quot;gform_confirmation_anchor&#38;quot;, create_function(&#38;quot;&#38;quot;,&#38;quot;return true;&#38;quot;));&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Regards,&#60;br /&#62;
Richard

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi, Dustin,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;In looking at the code you provided, the best thing to do is include all the logic for the validation within the checkPostcode that you are calling from the gform_validation hook. And if the validation fails for your field, you need to set the failed validation for it and the failed validation message, like in the code example in the documentation located here: &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_validation&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_validation&#60;/a&#62; . Take a look at that documentation and see if that gets you further.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;u&#62;UPDATE #2&#60;/u&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
My code above works for a website field, but not for a post custom field whose type is set to website. In the latter case, $field['type'] is 'post_custom_field' instead of 'website'. However, in both cases, $field['inputType'] is 'website', so we can use it instead. Given that $field['inputType'] is not set for all fields (e.g., honeypot), we'll include an isset() check to avoid the php &#34;Notice: Undefined Index&#34;. So...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;ol&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Replace line 8 above (&#60;strike&#62;$types[] = $field['type'];&#60;/strike&#62;) with&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;if ( isset($field[&#38;#39;inputType&#38;#39;]) )
  $types[] = $field[&#38;#39;inputType&#38;#39;];&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Then replace line 31 above (&#60;strike&#62;if ( 'website' != $field['type'] )&#60;/strike&#62;) with&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;if ( ! isset($field[&#38;#39;inputType&#38;#39;]) &#124;&#124; &#38;#39;website&#38;#39; != $field[&#38;#39;inputType&#38;#39;] )&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;/ol&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Thanks, just so you are aware, I have removed the code from my functions.php file because it's causing errors. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Cheers

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi I wonder if anyone can help me?&#60;br /&#62;
I've got a call to action gravity form setup on my website where customers can enter their UK postcode and click submit. The user is then re-directed to another gravity form where they can complete their request. I've setup dynamic population so the input entered into form 1 gets populated in the second form.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;For Form 1 - when a user enters data &#38;amp; clicks submit (Before user is directed to form 2)&#60;br /&#62;
Upon submit I would like to action an external php script which would validate the user entry.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I've tried various filters and actions But I just can't figure out how to action the PHP script.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Link to form1 &#60;a href=&#34;http://my-insulation.info/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://my-insulation.info/&#60;/a&#62; is the main page &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;When I input data and click submit I get the following error -There was a problem with your submission. Errors have been highlighted below.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'm not a web developer &#38;amp; can't afford to hire one, If someone can offer any assistance I would greatly appreciate it -&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This is what I've done or got -&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;//Code is placed in the themes function.php file&#60;br /&#62;
My PHP code can be seen here - &#60;a href=&#34;http://pastebin.com/S9S7dH09&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://pastebin.com/S9S7dH09&#60;/a&#62;
