Echo happens immediately. If you return it, then you can use it by echoing it in your confirmation message. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_after_submission-output#post-145262 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 17:50:40 +0000 tomdaq 145262@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, that's exactly the issue. I can't just put the "Your account has been updated successfully..." message in the confirmation of the form. This function is just one example. Many of my other functions output dynamic information, which I need to send back to the user in the confirmation message area as you said so that it is nicely formatted instead of just being dumped in the top of the page. I'm guessing I'm either missing something really simple, or I just need to take a different approach altogether.</p> <p>I considered using the gform_confirmation hook to execute the function instead of using the gform_after_submission approach that I currently have but I'm not sure if I can still get the entry data from the form. Would I use lead[] instead of entry[]?</p> <p>Thanks for your help.<br /> -tomdaq </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_after_submission-output#post-144996 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:30:35 +0000 Chris Hajer 144996@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When you say "outside the loop" do you mean actually just near the top of the page, since you're just echoing it? You want it to be nicely formatted in the confirmation message area? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_after_submission-output#post-144802 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 16:07:55 +0000 tomdaq 144802@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sure. You can see an example of what I'm doing here: <a href="http://pastebin.com/akjrhHGY" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/akjrhHGY</a></p> <p>The majority of the code is insignificant. What matters is the echo statements near the end. The information in the echo statements need to be returned in the confirmation message for the form. As it is, the information is echoed to the confirmation page but it is echoed outside of the loop. Let me know if more clarification is needed.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> tomdaq </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_after_submission-output#post-144789 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:25:00 +0000 Chris Hajer 144789@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you show us the code you're using currently?

I would like to send the output from the function to the confirmation message of the form but I'm not clear on how to accomplish that. As it stands, I'm just echoing the output as part of the function, which sends the text to the page but outside of the Wordpress loop and it doesn't look so nice. Is there anyway that I can pass the output from my third-party application to the gform_confirmation hook so that it is displayed nicely within the loop?</p> <p>Thanks for any suggestions.</p> <p>-tomdaq </p>
