The function takes these values, decrypts them and updates a hidden value. If the hash/encrypted values have changed then the update value is "error".</p> <p>I guess I could place this in the validation hook but wanted to move the logic away from here.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Ben </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hook-filter-before-validation#post-65352 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:34:32 +0000 David Peralty 65352@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Why don't you want to place it in the validation hook? Are you using what exists in the form and manipulating that value? Or are you just placing in your own value? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hook-filter-before-validation#post-65351 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:20:12 +0000 bsandall 65351@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Good Afternoon</p> <p>I've created a function which will update a value on my form. I'd like to check this value as part of the validation routine. The Pre Submission hooks and filters fire after the validation has taken place not giving an opportunity the change the value.</p> <p>How best can I fire this function before validation occurs without placing it in gform_validation?</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>Ben </p>
