I'll definitely link to this topic and let them know that having so many forms would be an issue, it's not something I've experienced because we don't have that many forms just yet. Thank you and your developers for your time. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-fully-able-to-build-form-programatically#post-280983 Mon, 27 May 2013 12:12:43 +0000 David Peralty 280983@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here is what one of our developers has said to me: </p> <blockquote><p> We don't really have an easy function for him to use in order to create a new form. Inserting records into those two tables is currently the only way of doing it. However, what he is doing is raising all sorts of red flags. Having 1000+ forms is going to create problems for him and will be a nightmare to maintain. I would try to find a different solution and maybe reach out to cart66 and see if they have any ideas on something he should do to get around that limitation of 1 form per product.</p></blockquote> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-fully-able-to-build-form-programatically#post-268122 Wed, 22 May 2013 10:33:09 +0000 Ashworth Creative 268122@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Just an update, I believe I've determined the cause to be the lack of notifications. The price in cart is accurate when I have one email notification set, but becomes $0.00 again when I have removed all notifications. I've filed a support request with Cart66 to resolve this, because I really don't need to receive an email every time a customer adds an item to their cart. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-fully-able-to-build-form-programatically#post-265940 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:02:45 +0000 Ashworth Creative 265940@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-fully-able-to-build-form-programatically#post-265930 Tue, 21 May 2013 12:59:02 +0000 David Peralty 265930@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've sent this thread to our developers to comment on. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-fully-able-to-build-form-programatically#post-265918 Tue, 21 May 2013 12:54:30 +0000 Ashworth Creative 265918@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Cart66 only supports a 1 to 1 relationship between products and forms. There needs to be a separate form for every product, and the total number of products is going to be in the thousands. Is there any way at all to automate the form creation process? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-fully-able-to-build-form-programatically#post-265807 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:49:41 +0000 David Peralty 265807@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You shouldn't be building forms programatically and this is not something we support doing. Instead, you could create the forms using our form builder and then pre-populating them programatically. You can have the same form on multiple posts or pages, with different information loaded into each one. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-fully-able-to-build-form-programatically#post-265779 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:39:05 +0000 Ashworth Creative 265779@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm trying to automate form creation so that whenever a new post of a certain post type is created, it generates a new form with a product field populated with the values of several custom fields.</p> <p>I'm achieving this by inserting new records into the wp_rg_form and wp_rg_form_meta tables, but when creating the wp_rg_form_meta record I'm a little uncertain about whether I need to have a unique id within the confirmations and notifications fields. I'd like to not have notifications at all, and have been using "a:0:{}" as the default value for that column.</p> <p>My question is, is there a better way to create forms like this, with native Gravity Forms methods rather than by manipulating the database manually? And if not, how is the id in the confirmations field generated, and is that even necessary to submit the form? I'm having an issue integrating forms created this way with Cart66; products associated with these forms tend to have a price of $0.00 when added to the cart. I'd like to make sure I'm generating these forms properly. </p>
