Also, are you using an older version of Gravity Forms? The gform_after_submission hook is a relatively newer hook.</p> <p>Glad you were able to find an alternate solution. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/geocode-address-on-form-submit#post-49155 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:44:06 +0000 nufantech 49155@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>For whatever the reason, the filter/action is being ignored by GF. I ended up doing the geocoding directly to the database after the records are added. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/geocode-address-on-form-submit#post-49100 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:00:34 +0000 David Smith 49100@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Nufantech,</p> <p>I didn't see anything obviously wrong with your code. You might try doing some value-checking to make sure the different values are being pulled correctly. Here is an example of how to output the values to the screen:</p> <pre><code>[php] print_r($entry);</code></pre> <p>And would probably be a good idea to print_r() the $coords after they have been retrieved as well:<br /> <pre><code>[php] print_r($coords);</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/geocode-address-on-form-submit#post-48349 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:41:52 +0000 nufantech 48349@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There was a post regarding this topic here: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/saving-latlong-data-from-a-form" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/saving-latlong-data-from-a-form</a>, but it has been closed.</p> <p>Any idea what's wrong with this code?
