The hook is the gform_validation hook. Here is an example of it's usage: <pre><code><?php add_filter('gform_validation_YOURFORMID', 'custom_validation'); function custom_validation($validation_result){ // set the form validation to false $validation_result["is_valid"] = false; $form = $validation_result["form"]; // specify the first field to be invalid and provide custom validation message $form["fields"][0]["failed_validation"] = true; $form["fields"][0]["validation_message"] = "This field is invalid!"; // update the form in the validation result with the form object you modified $validation_result["form"] = $form; return $validation_result; } ?></code></pre> You would have to know PHP and hook/filter usage in order to put it to use. That example just sets a field to invalid, you would have to add code above that to check the field value and decide if you wanted to set it to invalid or not. dfrayne on "Force postal code format" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/force-postal-code-format#post-20718 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 18:00:01 +0000 dfrayne 20718@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks Carl. Is that hook in the current documentation? Our contests launches this Saturday. Thanks.

You would have to be sure your field description explains the correct format. We will be launching all new documentation (and site) next week, and the gform_validation hook will have a better example available for users that want to use it to implement custom validation. dfrayne on "Force postal code format" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/force-postal-code-format#post-20715 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 17:52:10 +0000 dfrayne 20715@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Is it possible to force the postal code format, as in the phone format? ie. A1A 1A1. I would like to have it all caps, with a space between or else it comes up as invalid. If not, I guess I can put the e.g. in the "Description" and hope people follow it. Thanks.
