Limit Numbers of Entries Question

    Is there a way to use the "limit numbers of entries" function in combination with conditional form fields?
    We have 3 locations where our customers can follow seminars...All on a different day, all with a different amount of seats. When they choose Location A the conditional statement shows date 1.. Location B - date 2 .. Location C - date 3.
    When Location A has 10 entries the form should become inactive.. but only for location A. Location B and C should stay active until the max is reached

    Currently the limit number of entries is form wide. It can't distinguish entries that selected Location A from entries that selected Location C. You would have to create a form for each Location if you wanted to limit it by number of entries.

    That's disappointing to read. I brought the licence with exactly that in mind.

    Is it at least possible to swap to different (independent) forms according to a dropdown above?

    In the case I'm trying to achieve. We run BBQ seminars every month. Once each is full we'd cap the entries, but of course leave it open for them to register for the following month.

    From what I understand in the way gravity forms is set up, I would have to send them running around the website to various dates until they find a form with places/entries remaining. Far from optimal ...

    If I offered a page that links to a number of forms (overview of the various seminar dates), could I remove those links (or add a text/css class) to those that are full?

    or can anyone offer a wiser way to do this?

    Hi Breezemaster,

    If you're feeling ambitious and know a little PHP, you could recreate the limit entries functionality for your specific needs using the gform_validation hook. Be aware, this would involve querying the database for the latest number of submissions. If you are not familiar with PHP, you might consider hiring a developer to make this customization for you.
