It won't be in the main 1.7 release as they want to get that out soon, but it will be looked at closely for the next version. All my best! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_pre_render-hook-firing-even-if-form-is-not-found#post-104952 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:46:36 +0000 Chris Hajer 104952@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for this report. I will bring it to the attention of the development team. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_pre_render-hook-firing-even-if-form-is-not-found#post-104928 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:58:31 +0000 ikappas 104928@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, </p> <p>When using the [gravityform] shortcode to embed a form in a post, and use a non existant id (perhaps the form was deleted after the post was created), then the gform_pre_render hook is fired with a null $form as an argument.</p> <p>If this hook is employed by any plugins such as the WMPL Gravity forms multilingual or in our case a custom plugin then we have to check for a valid $form object before using it otherwise we get some nice exceptions thrown by php. </p> <p>I dont know if this is by design, so I am reporting it as a probable bug -perhaps the hook should not be fired at all if the form is not found.</p> <p>This occurs in the latest version of Gravity Forms. 1.6.11<br /> Cheerz,<br /> Ioannis Kappas </p>
