The field ID is not exactly the field order. It is an unique identifier given to the field when it is added to the form. If you sort the field, that ID won't change. You can view the id when mousing over the field in the form editor. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/modify-form-data-after-submit#post-70474 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 03:58:56 +0000 developR 70474@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Alex, Carl,</p> <p>so if I'm right we always have to use the field ID, which is the field order. It would be nice if can assign an id in the form editor, so it will be more flexible. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/modify-form-data-after-submit#post-70467 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 03:34:28 +0000 developR 70467@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Whoohoo!

Assuming your hidden field is submitted blank, the following should do the trick:</p> <pre><code>global $wpdb; $wpdb-&gt;insert(&quot;wp_rg_lead_detail&quot;, array(&quot;value&quot; =&gt; $url, &quot;lead_id&quot; =&gt; $entry[&quot;id&quot;], &quot;field_number&quot; =&gt; $hidden_field_id));</code></pre> <p>` </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/modify-form-data-after-submit#post-70336 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 10:44:57 +0000 developR 70336@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl,<br /> thanks for your reply!<br /> Maybe this is a stupid question but never done this before. </p> <p>I can fill the field id in the entry object, but how do i save this to the database?

Or do you want to store the path to the PNG as the value of a different field on the form, which could be a hidden field. Either way you'd have to store the value in an existing field. Which route were you wanting to take? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/modify-form-data-after-submit#post-70066 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 04:48:59 +0000 developR 70066@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi All,<br /> I tried to search the forums but can't find this. </p> <p>I have a form where a user can submit a eps or ai file. Afters submission is use gform_after_submission to convert the eps or ai to PNG and save it to wp-content folder.<br /> Now i want to save the path to that PNG file in the form, but the form is allready submitted. </p> <p>Can anyone give me a push in the right direction to update the form data with this path?</p> <p>thanks in advance!<br /> Seb </p>
