We provide the hook to change the phone format so that we do not have to add phone formats for every country to the code. You seem to have used the hooks well and properly, and your code will serve as a template for others who would like to do the same thing. We will keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you.

I see you dit not implement the code above, although it wouldn't have done anything but improved your plugin (and made some peoples lives a bit easier, including mine ;-)) This leads me to the question of what it takes to get something implemented into the core of gravity forms, since providing you with the code, and not just a simple, "I need this feature" request? Kind regards.

However, we don't recommend making changes to the plugin files as those changes will be lost between versions when you upgrade the plugin.

It's located around line 1463. ------------------------------------ <pre><code>public static function get_phone_formats() { $formats = array( 'standard' => array( 'regex' => '/^\D?(\d{3})\D?\D?(\d{3})\D?(\d{4})$/', 'name' => 'Standard', 'mask' => '(###)### - ####' ) ); return apply_filters('gform_phone_formats', $formats); }</code></pre> ------------------------------------ plugins/gravityforms/form_detail.php What To Do: Replace the current selectbox named field_phone_format to render a box based on get_phone_formats. It's located around line 1572. ------------------------------------ <pre><code><select id="field_phone_format" onchange="SetFieldPhoneFormat(jQuery(this).val());"> <option value="international"><?php _e("International", "gravityforms"); ?></option> <?php $formats = RGFormsModel::get_phone_formats(); foreach($formats as $format_key => $format_details){ if((!isset($format_details['regex']) || empty($format_details['regex'])) || ((!isset($format_details['mask']) || empty($format_details['mask'])) && (!isset($format_details['name']) || empty($format_details['name'])))) continue; $name = (isset($format_details['name']) && !empty($format_details['name'])) ? ((isset($format_details['mask']) && !empty($format_details['mask'])) ? $format_details['name'] .': '. $format_details['mask'] : $format_details['name']) : $format_details['mask'] ; ?> <option value="<?php echo $format_key; ?>"><?php echo $name; ?></option> <?php } ?> </select></code></pre> ------------------------------------ plugins/gravityforms/form_display.php What To Do: Replace the current validation method used to validate phone numbers. It's located around line 1173. ------------------------------------ <pre><code>$formats = RGFormsModel::get_phone_formats(); $regex = $formats[$field["phoneFormat"]]['regex']; if(!empty($value) && !preg_match($regex, $value)){ $field["failed_validation"] = true; if(!empty($field["errorMessage"])) $field["validation_message"] = $field["errorMessage"]; }</code></pre> ------------------------------------ themes/yourtheme/functions.php What To Do: You need to add this to your functions.php file to add your own custom phoneformats. ------------------------------------ <pre><code>function add_phone_formats($formats) { $formats["danishphone"] = array( 'regex' => '/[0-9]{8}/', 'name' => 'Danske Telefonnumre', 'mask' => '########' ); return $formats; } add_filter("gform_phone_formats", "add_phone_formats");</code></pre> ------------------------------------ Whats left? ------------------------------------ Now you just have to find your phone field, select the correct phone format you want to validate. And thats it. Please note that the default validation message is "hardcoded" in gravity forms so to display a validation error upon form submit, you need to add whatever message to "Validation Message" in advanced settings.
