In the code you run which is hooked to gform_after_update_entry, you can get the full entry details like this, using the entry (lead) ID:</p> <pre><code>[php] $lead = RGFormsModel::get_lead($lead_id); // debug // print_r($lead);</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-gform_after_submission-to-update-an-entry#post-163329 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:16:07 +0000 Des Moines University 163329@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I used gform_after_submission to send the entry information to another system of ours. If I update that entry in WordPress I want it to update that entry information in this other system, however gform_after_update_entry doesn't supply the entry information, just the ID. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-gform_after_submission-to-update-an-entry#post-161192 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:15:39 +0000 Chris Hajer 161192@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@DMU, please let us know what you are trying to do and we will try to help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-gform_after_submission-to-update-an-entry#post-160094 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 13:05:11 +0000 Des Moines University 160094@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am looking to do something similar but gform_after_update_entry returns an entry_id rather than the entire entry like gform_after_submission does. Is there something to retrieve the full entry from the entry_id? I've looked through the documentation but don't see anything like that. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-gform_after_submission-to-update-an-entry#post-146587 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:42:57 +0000 Chris Hajer 146587@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>gform_after_submission will work only after a Gravity Form is submitted. If you edit the entry in the Gravity Forms admin, you can use the gform_after_update_entry to update your external database.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_update_entry" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_update_entry</a></p> <p>I'm not familiar with that Admin &amp; Single plugin to know how it works, but if it does not submit a Gravity Form, gform_after_submission will not work. You will need to find a hook in that plugin to run your code when an entry is edited like that from the front end. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-gform_after_submission-to-update-an-entry#post-146258 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:22:11 +0000 MFJUNIOR 146258@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm using gform_after_submission to populate a table in database after a person submit a form:</p> <pre><code>add_action(&quot;gform_after_submission_5&quot;, &quot;input_fields&quot;, 10, 2); function input_fields($entry, $form){ global $wpdb; $id = $entry[&#39;id&#39;]; $date = $entry[&#39;date_created&#39;]; $title = $entry[&#39;1&#39;]; $firstname = $entry[&#39;2.3&#39;]; $lasname = $entry[&#39;2.6&#39;]; $SQL = &quot;INSERT INTO abstracts ( abstract_id, date, firstname, lasname ) VALUES ( &#39;$id&#39;, &#39;$date&#39;, &#39;$firstname&#39;, &#39;$lasname&#39; )&quot;; $wpdb-&gt;query($SQL); }</code></pre> <p>I also using a plugin Admin&amp;Single Gravity Forms Add-On that simulate a post and let the users to edit their entry with a given link (/.../form/?rid=1).</p> <p>When someone submit the modified form, the entries are updated in the gravity forms database, but the gform_after_submission doesn't update the other database.</p> <p>I think will be the same if I edit the entry by the admin side.</p> <p>How is possible to update the entry also in the second database?</p> <p>Than you, Marco </p>
