They will all be documented in the documentation for that hook. In this case, the only variables available are the $entry object and the $form object. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-values-of-form-fields#post-46519 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:13:00 +0000 sascha 46519@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey David,</p> <p>that sorted it! Thanks!</p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_11&#39;, &#39;update_individual_fields_11&#39;, 10, 2); function update_individual_fields_11($entry, $form) { var_dump($entry); echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; $form = RGFormsModel::get_form_meta(&#39;11&#39;);</code></pre> <p>BTW: can I pass any values/variables to the function in the brackets? And do I still need the RGFormsModel stuff or is $form just accessible, when I put it in the brackets of the function? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-values-of-form-fields#post-46515 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:02:23 +0000 David Smith 46515@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Sascha,</p> <p>First off, this documentation will demonstrate how you can pass the $form object as well as the $entry object to your function:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a></p> <p>Secondly, try dumping $entry at the very top of your function and see what happens. You also do not need to add the "global $entry" bit. Let me know. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-values-of-form-fields#post-46510 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:47:02 +0000 sascha 46510@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>somehow I am struggling to get the value of the form fields with this code below. I just try to dump $entry, but nothing shows. It just returns NULL.</p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_after_submission_11&#39;, &#39;update_individual_fields_11&#39;); function update_individual_fields_11($entry) { $form = RGFormsModel::get_form_meta(&#39;11&#39;); global $entry; $post_field = $form[fields][0][&quot;postCustomFieldName&quot;]; echo &#39;form[fields]&#39;; var_dump ($form[fields]); //global $form; echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; $id = 218; //need to get the current post value there! echo &#39;$form&#39;; var_dump($form); // form object echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; echo &#39;$entry: &#39;; // ---------------------------------------------------------------- var_dump($entry); // entry object -------is not availabe????????? // how do I pull the submitted data from form? // --------------------------------------------------------- echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; echo &#39;Post custom field name: &#39; . $post_field . &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; // Create entry in post meta update_post_meta($id, $post_field, &#39;value from form here&#39;, true); echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; echo &#39;&lt;/br&gt;&#39;; var_dump($entry); }</code></pre> <p>I am sure I am missing something very basic... Just cannot find a way. Any ideas? Thanks!</p> <p>And (basics again) when do I use just:<br /> global $form and when do I use that:<br /> $form = RGFormsModel::get_form_meta('11');</p> <p>Is there some documentation on RGFormsModel:: stuff. I am not a coder so struggling with those syntax bits.</p> <p>In the above example global $form did not seem to work... </p>
