When putting code in your forum post, be sure to surround the code block between backtick ( ` ) characters so it will format it as code.

Any chance of some help? :) I've pasted the above code into my functions.php file (at the bottom - if that makes any difference), I've changed the form id, and I've changed those input id's too. However, when I submit the form it just sends the message to the first person in the list. My notifications are set to go to users and the to email field is set to be sent to the person that's submitting the form. What else could I be doing wrong? Thanks, Steph Alex Cancado on "replace_variables() question" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/in-replace_variables-what-is#post-3589 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 10:48:47 +0000 Alex Cancado 3589@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Try the following code snippet. NOTE: You will need to change the input ids and the form id to match your values. <pre><code>add_filter("gform_pre_submission_filter", "add_bcc"); function add_bcc($form){ //change 2 to your actual form id if($form["id"] != 2) return; //Change the following input ids to match your fields. $bcc = $_POST["input_9"] . ","; //friend 1 email $bcc .= $_POST["input_11"] . ","; //friend 2 email $bcc .= $_POST["input_13"] . ","; //friend 3 email $bcc .= $_POST["input_15"] . ","; //friend 4 email $bcc .= $_POST["input_17"]; //friend 5 email $form["notification"]["bcc"] = $bcc; return $form; }</code></pre> Alex Cancado on "replace_variables() question" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/in-replace_variables-what-is#post-3579 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 22:26:54 +0000 Alex Cancado 3579@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ What you need to do is use the pre_submission hook and programatically add the emails to the form's BCC field. I will send you a code snippet to get you started soon. taprootcreative on "replace_variables() question" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/in-replace_variables-what-is#post-3566 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 11:57:51 +0000 taprootcreative 3566@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Sure, what we are looking to do is create a "Tell A Friend" form which allows you to email a page to x amount of people at a time. So your basic form may look like: Your Name Your Email Friend 1 Email Friend 2 Email Friend 3 Email Friend 4 Email Friend 5 Email When you submit the form it'll kick out an "invitation" email to Friends 1 - 5. The problem currently is that in the Notifications, the Bcc field doesn't allow for the gravity form custom tags {foo}. Currently I have my function hooked into gform_post_submission, and it loops through the results. I'm able to isolate the friend email addresses, however, I still want to use certain aspects of GForms so the client can maintain the form easily. Such as the Message field in the Notification to User area. And I can isolate that output as well but I'm not able to convert the GForms tags.

Can you explain what exactly you are trying to accomplish? I can come up with a code snippet to get the job done. taprootcreative on "replace_variables() question" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/in-replace_variables-what-is#post-3535 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:10:38 +0000 taprootcreative 3535@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ In the common.php, in the method replace_variables() what is $lead supposed to be? I'm trying to create a hook that will allow me to create a "tell a friend" to email more than one person at a time and it's almost there, I just need to be able to get the user notification message to parse the variables such as {all_fields} and what not. Or is there another way to go about it?
