Limit Entry to one per day via email

  1. sorry if this is an RTFM question but I need to limit entries into this contest to one per day, and I need to validate the entry against the email adress (because with multiple people sharing connections limiting by IP might lock out some other people) The tutorials I saw are not really helping me.

  3. I've got that tutorial, and I've got the IP based one, but i want to limit based on the user's email. That requires searching the database for emails related to that form.

  4. Are you requiring users to log in or not?

  5. Nope. No login. This is a ratings contest page.

  6. Can you share a link to your form please so I know which field holds the email address we want to prevent duplicate entries for 24 hours for? The no duplicates function would work fine, is it were once per form, but we want to limit it to once per day only.

  8. I found a solution, had to type it up myself.

    This is a 'once per day' solution.
