I'll send it along to your team once I have the code finished up and working, just been rough since documentation was lax on everything I needed to be pulling in from the form submission during validation </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-all-lead-entry-data-submitted-within-gform_validation#post-44749 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:48:23 +0000 sc0ttkclark 44749@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I should also mention that this is definitely needed for Pods integration, though I can put in a work around - it'll just be hacky and all $_POSTy, that's asking for trouble and the code should rely on GF itself to present the data so that as anything changes in the future, I'm still getting back what I need as it expects. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-all-lead-entry-data-submitted-within-gform_validation#post-44748 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:44:05 +0000 sc0ttkclark 44748@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Any chance all this information can be fleshed out into a single function that's included in the next version? I can't think of anyone, who does validation, who would think this useless - it's exactly what they'd look for. It sucks having everyone code up their own home brewed version of this, it wouldn't suck having a function in GF to utilize that's standardized and gives back everything as you'd expect it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-all-lead-entry-data-submitted-within-gform_validation#post-44602 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 19:05:13 +0000 Dana Cobb 44602@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No, the code I posted does not cover the multi-input fields. Take a look at the Advanced Fields section and the information about "inputs" at <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Field_Object" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Field_Object</a> .</p> <p>What you can do, is while looping through the fields, you can check to see if there are inputs and get the values for the individual pieces. In the example below if there are inputs, I loop through the inputs, get the id of the individual field and get the value from $_POST (using rgpost to handle when a field isn't set, like a checkbox not checked). The id in the inputs collection will be something like 3.3, but in $_POST it will be input_3_3.</p> <pre><code>//see if field has inputs if(rgar($field, &quot;inputs&quot;)) { //get individual field info foreach($field[&quot;inputs&quot;] as $input){ //get name of individual field, replace period with underscore when pulling from post $input_name = &quot;input_&quot; . str_replace(&quot;.&quot;,&quot;_&quot;,$input[&quot;id&quot;]); $value = rgpost($input_name); //do whatever validation on the value you want } }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-all-lead-entry-data-submitted-within-gform_validation#post-44207 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:56:29 +0000 sc0ttkclark 44207@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Also Dana, does the code you posted above cover fields that have multiple fields in them, like the first/last name combo field, or address field, checkboxes, etc? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-all-lead-entry-data-submitted-within-gform_validation#post-44205 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:45:38 +0000 sc0ttkclark 44205@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Also, one of my use-cases for the file data is actually to take the file (after it's been processed by WP upload handler) and upload it to another service (I give it a URL), or if it's an image then resize it locally using the WP image resizing functions. Actually, for my purposes, all of my forms delete entries upon success, they're all mapped to Pods using the new GF &gt;&gt; Pods mapping code I've built. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-all-lead-entry-data-submitted-within-gform_validation#post-44204 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:44:01 +0000 sc0ttkclark 44204@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I see.. then at least build the function that does the readying of the $_POST/$_FILES data for us, so that we can use it in the validation, modify the $_POST etc ourselves if we absolutely need to. Then you could also use that same function in core during the processing (after validation) to re-setup the same code. At least we'd be able to use that function, and if we don't, the function never runs at validation and just runs when GF does processing.</p> <p>Make sense? Yay hookers! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-all-lead-entry-data-submitted-within-gform_validation#post-44170 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:42:04 +0000 David Smith 44170@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Readying the data for actual storage in the database is fairly involved and for some fields requires actually changing the raw submitted value. Allowing you to modify these values in the $_POST and $_FILES (before Gravity Forms alters them) gives you complete control of the raw values before GF takes over to finish the job. Power to the hookers! ;) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-all-lead-entry-data-submitted-within-gform_validation#post-44166 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:18:27 +0000 sc0ttkclark 44166@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ouch, can't this data be readied before it comes to the hook? Seems like hitting $_POST and $_FILES in your own validation function is really a bad idea. I'll use it for now, just voicing my very strong opinion on the lacking functionality for us who choose to hook (lol, don't be dirty!) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-all-lead-entry-data-submitted-within-gform_validation#post-44164 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:07:30 +0000 Dana Cobb 44164@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, Scott,</p> <p>I have posted an example of using the validation hook to pull out information from the submitted form which includes a file upload. Take a look at the sample here: <a href="http://pastie.org/3022992" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/3022992</a> .</p> <p>The data submitted by the user is available in the $_POST object and the uploaded file information (size, temp name, name) is available in the $_FILES object.</p> <p>Take a look and let me know if you have questions, but I think this will get you where you want to be. </p>
