But if you aren't comfortable with code you may need to get a developer to assist you.</p> <p>Another option is to consider using captcha on your form. Or try the Gravity Forms v1.6 beta release which has built in Akismet anti-spam integration if you have Akismet activated. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-number-of-submissions-in-the-time-interval#post-34027 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 13:46:37 +0000 matt.bowman 34027@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>David,</p> <p>Is there a way to edit your code to limit the number of submissions by IP instead of user id?</p> <p>I've recently had a spammer fill out a form on our site a hundred times in a row.</p> <p>Very frustrating. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-number-of-submissions-in-the-time-interval#post-21916 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:13:40 +0000 octavian 21916@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Wonderful!! thanks a lot!<br /> I will test that in a while. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-number-of-submissions-in-the-time-interval#post-21667 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 09:04:15 +0000 David Smith 21667@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Octavian,</p> <p>Paste this code into your theme's functions.php file: <a href="http://pastie.org/1721866" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1721866</a></p> <p>Make sure to update the code per the inline instructions.

I'll have to get one of our developers to look at this and see what you want to do and come up with a code snippet. This may take some time as customizations such as this are outside the scope of standard support. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-number-of-submissions-in-the-time-interval#post-21464 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 09:17:37 +0000 octavian 21464@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there a way to get the time of the last submitted post by a user?</p> <p>I can just subtract last post's time from current time and then if it is smaller than predefined ammount - hide the form and display the message? I think it is the most economical way. Is that possible? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-number-of-submissions-in-the-time-interval#post-21238 Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:57:19 +0000 Carl Hancock 21238@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This customization would require code. You'd have to use the gform_pre_render hook and write custom code to see if the user has already submitted an entry within the last X days/hours/whatever by querying the entry data.</p> <p>Here is the gform_pre_render hook documentation:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render</a></p> <p>Note what you want to do we don't currently have any code samples. </p>
