The only issue now is this:</p> <p>The form does not require a full email address. Try typing in just any only characters and it will accept whatever you put in.</p> <p>How do I make the email box accept only full emails like: <a href="mailto:email@email.com">email@email.com</a>? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-default-values#post-357140 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 03:37:23 +0000 Richard Vav 357140@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would use CSS to hide the error notifications, you can find examples of how to target the various elements of Gravity Forms with CSS in the documentation, the following link is for the section regarding validation errors <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CSS_Targeting_Samples#Validation_Errors" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/CSS_Targeting_Samples#Validation_Errors</a></p> <p>Try adding the following to your theme stylesheet or wherever you add custom CSS<br /> <pre><code>#gform_wrapper_13 .validation_error, #gform_wrapper_13 .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield_error .validation_message { display:none !important; } #gform_wrapper_13 li.gfield.gfield_error.gfield_contains_required { margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; background: none !important; border: none !important; } #gform_wrapper_13 li.gfield.gfield_error.gfield_contains_required div.ginput_container { margin-top: 0 !important; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-default-values#post-356165 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 16:28:55 +0000 sgarten 356165@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks, Richard.</p> <p>That did the trick.

I think there are currently two plugins in the WordPress plugin repository<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-placeholders/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-placeholders/</a><br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-auto-placeholders/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-auto-placeholders/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-default-values#post-355802 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:48:27 +0000 sgarten 355802@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Can you please help me with my code? I would like to specifically know what code to use and where to put the code. I think I should put it in functions.css.</p> <p>You can view the form at <a href="http://www.virtuecard.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.virtuecard.org</a>. All I want, are for the fields to be required, but since I'm using default values someone can click the "request an invitation" button and it will submit the default values of "name" and "email". Instead, I'd like it to present an error message if the default values are presented.</p> <p>-----<br /> The form ID is 13 and the "name" field is field 4 and the "email" field is field 3.</p> <p>Here's the code I added to my functions.php file that didn't work. I only attempted fixing field 4, but since that didn't work, I didn't code out for field 3 yet.<br /> -----</p> <p>&lt;?php</p> <p>add_filter('gform_validation_13', 'custom_validation');<br /> function custom_validation($validation_result){<br /> $form = $validation_result["form"];</p> <p>//supposing we don't want input 1 to be a value of 86<br /> if($_POST['input_4'] == name){</p> <p>// set the form validation to false<br /> $validation_result["is_valid"] = false;</p> <p>//finding Field with ID of 1 and marking it as failed validation<br /> foreach($form["fields"] as &amp;$field){</p> <p>//NOTE: replace 1 with the field you would like to validate<br /> if($field["id"] == "4"){<br /> $field["failed_validation"] = true;<br /> $field["validation_message"] = "This field is invalid!";<br /> break;<br /> }<br /> }</p> <p>}</p> <p>//Assign modified $form object back to the validation result<br /> $validation_result["form"] = $form;<br /> return $validation_result;</p> <p>}</p> <p>?&gt; </p>
