I did the following on form_display.php<br /> ...<br /> else{<br /> //pre submission action<br /> do_action("gform_pre_submission", $form);<br /> do_action("gform_pre_submission_{$form["id"]}", $form);<br /> <strong> do_action("gform_pre_submission", "pre_submission_handler");</p> <p> function pre_submission_handler($form){<br /> $_POST["input_6"] = "new value for field 6";<br /> } </strong></p> <p>Shouldnt I see "new value for field 6" in my post? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alter-form-input-string#post-57740 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:25:53 +0000 David Peralty 57740@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would want to use the following hook:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission</a></p> <p>Then you could take the file URL and wrap it in whatever you like before you send it to the database. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alter-form-input-string#post-57696 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:48:18 +0000 haakonflender 57696@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a form that posts into my blog. It has a file upload field that users upload their movies with. My webserver formats the video file to HTML5 compatible format and to display that video to visitors it needs to be in the format [video src="http://www.mysite.com/video"]. But the gravity form file uploader posts the complete URL like <a href="http://www.mysite.com/video.mov" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysite.com/video.mov</a>.</p> <p>how can I alter the URL that the file uploader creates to the shortcode I need it to be? Is gform_field_input the right way? An example would ofcourse be very much appreciated. :)</p> <p>Thanks </p>
