I just used array_sum to combine the multiple form entry totals. Unless, of course, you know a better way that's built into Gravity Forms? bkmacdaddy_asg on "Adding a form entry counter on the front end, by the form" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-a-form-entry-counter-on-the-front-end-by-the-form#post-16607 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 15:09:28 +0000 bkmacdaddy_asg 16607@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ This is great! Thanks for the tip. Now my question: is there a way I can show the total entries count of MULTIPLE forms with some type of variation on this? I have one form duplicated for various landing pages, but want the total count of all entries to display. Thanks in advance!

You'd get the form count for the form and then use PHP to subtract whatever the predefined total is and then display how many chances are left with a message. So yes, using the code above you could modify it to display a message like "Only 5 chances left!".

I've just checked this out. It works perfectly, thanks. I'm using it in conjunction with a plugin that enables one to execute PHP in a page or post via a defined shortcode. This is great as it enables execution without having to add any php to your templates. I have one further question on this if I may please. Is it possible to run a php command that displays a message once a certain form count number is reached? For example, if I set up a form to allow only 15 submissions/entries, could I run a php command for that form which displays a message, like "Only 5 chances left!", when 10 submissions/entries have been submitted? Many thanks in advance.

Couldn't find it when I had a look. Would it be possible do you think to add a form entry counter on the page that contains a form? As we know, GF creates distinct entry IDs per form, it seems in pure sequential order. I'm wondering if we somehow use that feature to note, on the page containing the form, how many entries have been submitted through it. That'd be really helpful for situations where we set up forms to close down after X number of entries. Many thanks for any help. Richard
