Apparently the <strong>gform_validation</strong> was one of the few hooks that did not have the ID specific version. We've added this to the core for the next release.</p> <p>In the meantime, you can do a simple conditional at the very beginning of the function that checks for the form ID and then returns the result if the submission is coming from a different form ID. Here is an example:</p> <pre><code>[php] add_filter(&#39;gform_validation&#39;, &#39;custom_validation&#39;); function custom_validation($validation_result) { // set the form validation to false $form = $validation_result[&quot;form&quot;]; if($form[&#39;id&#39;] != 1) return $validation_result; ... rest of your code ...</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-validation-affects-all-gravity-forms-on-the-site#post-21987 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:53:29 +0000 growthspark 21987@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Wanted to see if there was anything found in the function I submitted or if you need me to try anything specific. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-validation-affects-all-gravity-forms-on-the-site#post-21866 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 18:08:11 +0000 Carl Hancock 21866@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll have a developer look at your code, the filter should work so it's probably something in the code itself. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-validation-affects-all-gravity-forms-on-the-site#post-21865 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 18:00:33 +0000 growthspark 21865@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hm... the reason I asked the question in that way, however, was that I had tried that per another post in the forum to which I think you had responded.<br /> When I add that, it disables the custom validation completely.</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/1728462" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1728462</a></p> <p>So there the _1 is appended and it is as if the forms no longer see the filter.<br /> I have confirmed that I am indeed working with form ID 1.</p> <p>I'm running GF1.5, WP3.1, PHP 5.2.10 , MySQL 5.0.81.</p> <p>Is there another way to confine it to Form ID 1? Aside from that, the custom validation works well. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-validation-affects-all-gravity-forms-on-the-site#post-21864 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 17:53:15 +0000 Carl Hancock 21864@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Change This:</p> <p><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_validation&#39;, &#39;custom_validation&#39;);</code></p> <p>To This:</p> <p><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_validation_1&#39;, &#39;custom_validation&#39;);</code></p> <p>You append the form id to the end of the gform_validation filter call. </p> <p>The documentation has been updated to reflect this. Most of the hook/filter calls work the same way and it is reflected in the documentation. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-validation-affects-all-gravity-forms-on-the-site#post-21862 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 17:51:13 +0000 growthspark 21862@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><a href="http://pastie.org/1728462" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1728462</a></p> <p>Above is the Custom Validation code for a VIN validation form I created.<br /> Works perfectly except that it tries to apply the validation against all Gravity Forms, is there a way to wrap the function or tag it such that it only affects form ID 1 and no other form? </p>
