The main reason I decided to stick with Gravity Forms on this particular form on the website was to get the paging functionality and validation and not have to worry about those items myself.</p> <p>Unfortunately I really need the custom action url because I need to check the submitted data against the database and if the user has previously submitted a form then I append details to their previous record, but if they haven't then I create a new record for them.</p> <p>Cheers!<br /> Alex </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/advanced-form-settings-custom-action-url#post-68066 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:34:01 +0000 alexleonard 68066@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sweet!

This response was posted over a year ago:</p> <p>"It is something we plan on adding a a feature either directly in the form builder or via an add-on. We have plans for an add-on that will allow you to post data to a 3rd party URL and map which fields are posted, etc."</p> <p>Really looking to have a simple "External Post URL" field in the form builder allowing posting to ANY 3rd party system supporting posts from external forms. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/advanced-form-settings-custom-action-url#post-7999 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:37:50 +0000 Carl Hancock 7999@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This isn't recommended unless you really know what you are doing with PHP as you would have to do custom validation. But there is an API hook you can use to change the form action.</p> <p>Here is an example:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_form_tag&quot;, &quot;form_tag&quot;, 10, 2); function form_tag($form_tag, $form){ $form_tag = preg_replace(&quot;|action=&#39;(.*?)&#39;|&quot;, &quot;action=&#39;custom_handler.php&#39;&quot;, $form_tag); return $form_tag;</code></pre> <p>But again, I don't recommend it unless you really know what you are doing. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/advanced-form-settings-custom-action-url#post-7995 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:51:07 +0000 eCurtis 7995@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>How would I do this via a filter?
