It makes a difference sometimes where your function is located. The hooks were designed to be used in the theme's functions.php. If you can ensure the function works there first, you might be able to get it to work in your plugin. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allowing-a-field-to-go-into-the-database-that-is-the-same#post-75315 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 08:41:19 +0000 0to5 75315@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris,</p> <p>I am not so sure if it is that the hooks arent doing what they are supposed to, it looks like they arent firing. Do you have any insight as to why they wouldnt be? I have them embedded in a Class of my own plugin but when I put them inside a conditional function it appears that they do not fire anymore unless they are under my INIT method. </p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Travis </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allowing-a-field-to-go-into-the-database-that-is-the-same#post-75265 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 00:35:55 +0000 0to5 75265@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes,</p> <p>I have the conditions outside this hook so it should allow all fields to validate no matter what but it is still catching them somehow. If might be because of this hook following it?:<br /> <pre><code>add_action(&quot;gform_after_submission&quot;, &quot;gf_us_set_post_content&quot;, 10, 2); function gf_us_set_post_content($entry, $form){ RGFormsModel::save_lead($form, $lead); }</code></pre> <p>I am trying to save this form back into the database to overwrite an existing entry. Does this hook appear like that is what it will do? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allowing-a-field-to-go-into-the-database-that-is-the-same#post-75261 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 00:24:25 +0000 Chris Hajer 75261@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It looks like this function here should allow duplicates no matter what? Is that just for testing? Are there more rules in place that you trimmed here for brevity?</p> <p>If you export your form as XML (Import/Export menu item, then "Export Forms" from the top menu) and send me your functions.php to <a href="mailto:chris@rocketgenius.com">chris@rocketgenius.com</a> I will take a look at this for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allowing-a-field-to-go-into-the-database-that-is-the-same#post-75259 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 00:16:20 +0000 0to5 75259@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris,</p> <p>I am trying this:<br /> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_is_duplicate&#39;, &#39;allowDuplicateFields&#39;, 10, 4); function allowDuplicateFields($count, $form_id, $field, $value) { return 0; }</code></pre> <p>but it is not working. Basically I want to manually override through a hook if I will accept a duplicate email. For simplicity sake lets say that I always wanted to validate a duplicate email as long as the value was <a href="mailto:test@test.com">test@test.com</a> but require every other email to NOT be a duplicate.</p> <p>Does this make sense?

In the backend of Gravity Forms I have an email field checked with "No Duplicates". Is there a way in a hook to change this to allow duplicates at the last minute if the form meets a certain requirement? </p>
