You will need to run your check again to verify whether the post creation should actually be disabled. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/potential-bug-with-gform_disable_post_creation#post-39862 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 10:30:35 +0000 tracysurf 39862@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Same issue here! Didn't do as much debugging as tobaccordshow but posts get created.<br /> I'm using GF 1.6, just updated to the latest version today.</p> <p>I am using a GF form for creating and updating "Listings" (a custom post type).<br /> If a user already has a listing the GF gets prefilled with the values from the database and GF should not create a new listing but update the existing one. </p> <p>Prefill works, listing creation also works, but I can't get gform_disable_post_creation to work.</p> <p>Code summary: In the page that contains the form and before the form displays, I check for exisiting listings. If we have one we get the prefill and I am using:<br /> `add_filter("gform_disable_post_creation_1", "disable_post_creation", 10, 3);<br /> function disable_post_creation($is_disabled, $form, $entry){<br /> return true;<br /> }`</p> <p>Is this the right location? Or is anything wrong with the code? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/potential-bug-with-gform_disable_post_creation#post-38232 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 17:04:03 +0000 tobaccordshow 38232@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>To further my bug testing, I commented out line 685 of form_display.php to ensure that the post could not be created regardless of the gform_disable_post_creation result. The entry was still created. </p> <p>Unless this filter is not used to disable entries (which I can't imagine what post it would be disabling if not for the entries), I cannot seem to get this to work. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/potential-bug-with-gform_disable_post_creation#post-38231 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 16:47:02 +0000 tobaccordshow 38231@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi David, </p> <p>I responded with credentials. It looks like I do have the action firing evidenced by an echo string placed before the return true call. However, the post is still being created.</p> <p>Baffled here. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/potential-bug-with-gform_disable_post_creation#post-37587 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:30:03 +0000 David Smith 37587@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there, I couldn't recreate this issue on my end. The filter was triggered and able to prevent post creation in all my tests. Would you mind sending me a WP and FTP login so I can take a look at your setup and see what the conflict might be?

My code:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_disable_post_creation&quot;, &quot;disable_post_creation&quot;, 10, 3); function disable_post_creation($is_disabled, $form, $entry){ return true; }</code></pre> <p>Not sure why it's being ignored, but it doesn't even seem that the callback is being fired. Placing an echo call in there never appears. </p> <p>The form I'm using is not using the AJAX method and does use an image upload, in case that affects the solution. </p>
