The entry has been created, which means it is in the database and you can access it with the gform_after_submission hook. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pdf-certificate-generation#post-43893 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 07:07:10 +0000 fr35ht 43893@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Very helpful, thank you David.<br /> A quick question:<br /> Can I clarify that "entry creation" mentioned in the link means that the data has been entered into the relevant SQL database? In other words the form input has been saved in the database by the time the hook 'form_after_submission' is called? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pdf-certificate-generation#post-43833 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:26:00 +0000 David Smith 43833@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi fr35ht,</p> <p>Here is some documentation on the gform_after_submission hook and what data is available to this hook:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a></p> <p>After you've read through the documentation, let me know if you have any other questions. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pdf-certificate-generation#post-43825 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:02:30 +0000 fr35ht 43825@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I'm trying to generate a user specific pdf certificate once a form has been completed.</p> <p> I understand (from reading "PDF Generation Add-On" topic) that using the (?action) hook 'gform_after_submission' will access my form data at the right point to pull the data out.</p> <p>I'm trying to figure out how to pull the data out!<br /> Would the basic code be something like:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php do_action ( &#39;gform_after_submission&#39;, $function_get_my_data_out ) ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>Then send the data in array form to the pdf generator.</p> <p>- is there anyone out there who knows how to do this?</p> <p>Grateful for any help. </p>
