But maybe one of your GF guys could look over it :) I am not a php man....</p> <pre><code>//add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission&#39;, &#39;dynamic_filtering&#39;, 10, 1); //function dynamic_filtering() { $forms_to_filter = array(&#39;1&#39;, &#39;2&#39;, &#39;3&#39;, &#39;4&#39;, &#39;5&#39;, &#39;6&#39;); // ids of forms --- needs to be populated dynamically! foreach ($forms_to_filter as $form_id) { //$after_submission = &#39;gform_after_submission_&#39; . $form_id; add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_&#39; . $form_id, &#39;manitu&#39;, 10, 1); } //} function manitu($entry) { do_dump ($entry); }</code></pre> <p>As you can see I made a mistake with the array declaration in the example before! That's why it would not work. Yeah, and I forgot the brackets around the foreach argument... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-add_action-creation#post-46527 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:20:49 +0000 sascha 46527@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Tried to above, but of course it does not work! Would I need to call a add_action('gform_after_submission', 'filter_forms_by_id') and then inside that function filter_forms_by_id do the stuff I suggested above? I cannot get my head round it. Sorry. Maybe you can... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-add_action-creation#post-46525 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:04:08 +0000 sascha 46525@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I was wondering if the below stuff could be optimised? I am sure I have seen somewhere a "trick" where the _1, _3, _4 etc. gform_after_submission is called dynamically, but cannot find it.</p> <pre><code>// select parent term automatically for the &#39;project_type&#39; taxonomy in form #1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_1&#39;, &#39;gform_parent_category&#39;); add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_3&#39;, &#39;gform_parent_category&#39;); add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_4&#39;, &#39;gform_parent_category&#39;); add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_5&#39;, &#39;gform_parent_category&#39;); add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_6&#39;, &#39;gform_parent_category&#39;); add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_8&#39;, &#39;gform_parent_category&#39;); function gform_parent_category($entry) { $created_post = $entry[&#39;post_id&#39;]; $child_ID = $entry[&quot;5&quot;]; // need to change this to pull dynamically $term_object = get_term_by(&#39;id&#39;, $child_ID, &#39;project_type&#39;); // replace project_type by chosen taxonomy $parent_ID = $term_object -&gt; parent; wp_set_post_terms( $created_post, $parent_ID, &#39;project_type&#39;, true ); //replace project_type by chosen taxonomy }</code></pre> <p>I would basically like to define the array of form ids first and then loop through creating the necessary add_action calls dynamically:<br /> <pre><code>$forms_to_filter = array(&#39;1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6); // ids of forms --- needs to be populated dynamically! foreach $forms_to_filter as $form_id { add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_&#39; . $form_id, &#39;gform_parent_category&#39;); } function gform_parent_category($entry) { $created_post = $entry[&#39;post_id&#39;]; $child_ID = $entry[&quot;5&quot;]; // need to change this to pull dynamically $term_object = get_term_by(&#39;id&#39;, $child_ID, &#39;project_type&#39;); // replace project_type by chosen taxonomy $parent_ID = $term_object -&gt; parent; wp_set_post_terms( $created_post, $parent_ID, &#39;project_type&#39;, true ); //replace project_type by chosen taxonomy }</code></pre> <p>I am not sure at all about the right syntax for doing this though!!! Is there a way to do this? Is the above correct? </p>
