How to get form id?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a function which will add a field to the user metadata table on form submission. I'd like that field to contain an array of all the fields/responses in the submitted form.

I tried using the gform_post_submission action hook and setting $form_contents = $entry['field_id'] as described on this page: http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Entry_Object

But no go. Any ideas on how to get this working? I suspect I'm trying to get the form/field contents in the wrong way. Here's my current function:

add_action("gform_post_submission", "set_additional_user_fields");
function set_additional_user_fields($user_id) {
    $form_contents = $entry['field_id'];
    add_user_meta($user_id, 'form_info', $form_contents);
}

Thanks for your help!

Thanks David!! That works great for getting a specific field value from the form.

Do you know, is there any way to retrieve all the field name/value pairs in an array? I thought field_id would do the trick based on this from the entry_object page:

FIELD_ID
(string) The value for all submitted fields can be retrieved by using the Field Id as the key to the $entry array.

But maybe not? Thanks again,

Michelle

You rock!! Thank you!

Unfortunately I had to hack a bit of the core code to get everything working just the way I needed it to, but good news is, I think I now have a way to link my saved form to a logged-in user's profile (so the user can come back and edit the form / resubmit later). In any case this is working for me. :-)

Here's what I had to do to achieve it:

UPDATE - see this post for a revised solution:
http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/saving-a-form#post-32318

1. In your form, go into each field's Advanced tab and click "Allow Field to be Populated Dynamically. Enter a parameter name - it can be anything, but should be unique.
2. Change line 909 of forms_model.php to read:
   return apply_filters("gform_field_value_$name", apply_filters("gform_field_value", $value, $name));
3. Add the following to your theme's functions.php file:
   

   // RETRIEVE PARAMETER_NAME FOR FIELDS AND ADD TO WP_USERMETA
   add_action('gform_post_submission', 'save_entry_values', 10, 2);
   function save_entry_values($entry, $form){
       $userid = $entry['created_by']; // retrieve user ID
       $submitted_info = array();
   
       foreach($form['fields'] as $field) {
   
           $value = RGFormsModel::get_lead_field_value($entry, $field);
   
           if($value) {
               $submitted_info[] = array($field['inputName'] => $value); // retrieves parameter_names values
               update_user_meta($userid, $field['inputName'], $value); // stores parameter_name values in wp_usermeta table
           }
       }
   }
   
   // RUN REVISED GFORM_FIELD_VALUE_YOUR_PARAMETER FILTER
   add_filter('gform_field_value', 'populate_user_meta', 10, 2);
   function populate_user_meta($value, $name){
       global $user_ID;
       $field_user_meta = get_the_author_meta($name, $user_ID);
       return $field_user_meta;
   }

4. Now when logged-in users fill out a form, they should be able to return to that same form later and have all their previous answers pre-populated.

The way the filter is rewritten should allow users to use both the gform_field_value filter and the original gform_field_value_your_parameter filter - the latter will overwrite the former.

Let me know if you can think of a better way to do this - any of it - and/or if there's a way I can move that rewritten filter into my local functions.php file. I hate to edit the core code, just couldn't see a way around it in this instance.

Thanks again for your help!
