Then use a hook to disable the post creation. Make sure to remove the htmlentities() from your code.<br /> Disable the post creation with the following code snippet. Make sure to replace "5" below with your actual form ID.</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_disable_post_creation_5&quot;, &quot;disable_post_creation&quot;, 10, 3); function disable_post_creation($is_disabled, $form, $entry){ return true; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-notifications-with-fields-containing-html-tags#post-28026 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 13:12:36 +0000 Oliver Chank 28026@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ultimately, I don't need to store these coupon links with the entry, just the coupon codes.

Then, the coupons are emailed to the user as absolute links for him to print or share.</p> <p>I have managed to populate a paragraph text field using gform_pre_submission to hold the coupon codes in absolute links. However, in order to have my &lt; a &gt; tags register as entries, I used htmlentities() on every string:</p> <pre><code>foreach ($qte_array as $coupon) { $s = strtoupper(md5(uniqid(rand(),true))); $string = $coupon . &#39;-&#39; . substr($s,0,6) . &#39;-&#39; . substr($s,8,4); $eachcoupon[] = $string; $url_string = &quot;&lt;a href=\&quot;http://www.domain.com/coupon.php?offre=&quot; . $id . &quot;&amp;achat=&quot; . $achat . &quot;&amp;coupon=&quot; . $string . &quot;\&quot; target=\&quot;_blank\&quot;&gt;Coupon &quot; . $coupon . &quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;; $eachcouponurl[] = htmlentities($url_string); }</code></pre> <p>Now the problem is that when I email this paragraph text field, it's not HTML anymore... :-(</p> <p>Is there a way to run some sort of html_entity_decode() to my entry, or did I take this the wrong way? </p>
