So you can install the beta or wait for it's final release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-submitted-multiple-times-conflict-with-simple-facebook-connect#post-12737 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:33:19 +0000 vanderark1 12737@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I had the same issue. I only used SFC for the LIKE button, thinking originally that I would use others in their suite of plugins.</p> <p>I deleted all SFC.</p> <p>Does anyone have an option for a LIKE button that doesn't conflict with Gravity Forms? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-submitted-multiple-times-conflict-with-simple-facebook-connect#post-12729 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 16:58:50 +0000 Carl Hancock 12729@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It appears that changes we made to Gravity Forms v1.5 already fixes this issue. If you wanted to download and install the 1.5 beta it is available on the Downloads page. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-submitted-multiple-times-conflict-with-simple-facebook-connect#post-12713 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 12:14:40 +0000 Carl Hancock 12713@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We will look into this. This isn't a "no-no" as Otto has said. If anything the way he is getting the content is a "no-no" because when he executes get_the_content() it then executes all of the page content, including any shortcodes, again. So it's executing all of the page content multiple times with his plugging installed.</p> <p>The Gravity Forms shortcode is what executes the form action. When get_the_content() is run in the standard WordPress code execution process this is when the shortcode gets parsed and the form action occurs. What the SFC plugins are doing is calling this function again to get the page content for the share/like buttons, so it executes all the shortcodes again.</p> <p>We will look into how we can detect if the form is being submitted multiple times on one page load and limit it there. However, we aren't changing how the form executes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-submitted-multiple-times-conflict-with-simple-facebook-connect#post-12699 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 00:01:34 +0000 bardsart 12699@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I installed Gravity Forms and every time a form is submitted, it is being sent multiple times. The conflict is with the Simple Facebook Connect "Like" and "Share" buttons. The form gets sent an extra time for each button. IE: if the "like" is active, the form is sent twice; if the "like" and "share" buttons are both active then the form is sent three times.</p> <p>I've noticed the same problems with other users on this forum. I contacted the SFC plugin author and here is the response:</p> <p>'<br /> <blockquote>'What this means is that, unfortunately, Gravity Forms is producing the submit when the get_the_content() function is called, which is a no-no. Both like and share have to get the content in the header, to produce the necessary meta tags for Facebook.</p> <p>There’s no way around this except to fix Gravity Forms to not do that. Might try contacting the author.'</blockquote> '</p> <p>Is this something that can be fixed? For now, I've turned it off but I really need to be able to have the share button active. </p>
