Adding bulk actions

  1. Is there a way to add bulk actions to the administrative page for entries. For example, "Mark as read, Mark as unread, Add Star"?

    Here is what I want to do:

    I am currently using a form as a user signup (no, not a Wordpress user, just as a general signup form for a service my client is offering), but I'd like to get rid of all other the unneeded and sensitive data contained in the form entry by adding an "Approve" bulk action. What this approve bulk action will do is take the data, reformat it, and then save it to a different "approved" table or tables that will be easier to query for another plugin that I am writing.

    From what I have read, the information I need is in the entry object, but I don't see any documentation (I could have missed it, I just started with a developers version of Gravity Forms yesterday), in regards to hooking into the bulk actions. Is there such a hook, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

    Any suggestions on where to look, or alternate approaches would be very helpful.

  2. Hi flyingtugboat,

    Currently there is no such hook. The closest hook currently available is the gform_entries_first_column_actions hook which allows you to add an action link for each entry.

    I can definitely see the benefit of a filter for the bulk action. I'll pass this along to the crew and get some feedback on the idea. :)

  3. Hi David,

    I think this solution will work for the time being. Fortunately, this form won't be used so many times that having to click through each entry to approve it shouldn't seem unmanageable. It would be cool to be able to tap into bulk actions in the future though. Thanks for the help!
