It is already validating the email field, I just want it to do something different when it fails. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Mainly because I dont know how to. :-) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-validation-redirect#post-29814 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:01:01 +0000 Carl Hancock 29814@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would have to write the necessary PHP to send the email. Gravity Forms isn't going to send the email. So you'd have to roll your own PHP to handle sending an email to your email address notifying you of the validation error as part of the custom code you implement using the gform_validation hook. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-validation-redirect#post-29808 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:03:39 +0000 kgbtexas 29808@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>My guess is I would add something here:<br /> $field['validation_message'] = 'The VIN number you have entered is not valid.';</p> <p>So I would set up a $email variable or a $email-redirect variable to pass through? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-validation-redirect#post-29791 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 12:31:23 +0000 Carl Hancock 29791@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you want Gravity Forms to send you an email when there is a validation error on a specific field you would have to write your own custom validation to do this. We have a gform_validation API hook that lets you write custom validation so you can do whatever you want.</p> <p>Here is a tutorial on how the gform_validation hook works:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_the_Gravity_Forms_%22gform_valiation%22_Hook" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_the_Gravity_Forms_%22gform_valiation%22_Hook</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/failed-validation-redirect#post-29754 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:10:49 +0000 kgbtexas 29754@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would like to have a validation error that will email me and redirect the user to another page.<br /> (i.e. have "no duplicates" selected in the email field and upon fail will still email me and send the user to a new page). Any help will be appreciated! </p>
