limited access to a form for a logged in user,

Is there a way to limit the access to a form for a logged in user?

Example: if the user just posted 3 new. We would like for that user to take a time out. So can the form then be un accessible to that user for a certain period? under "form settings" there is a "limit number of entries " and " schedule form " is it posible to make the form available for a certain amount of posts for that logged in user ? Giving the user the ability to post only say 3 posts per day?

thanks Chris

this is great! any thoughts on editing that code to limit it to x posts per time period, instead of just one per time period? thank you!

Hi

Getting syntax error on line 120

add_filter('gform_get_form_filter', create_function('', "return '<div class="limit-message">$limit_message</div>';") );
    }

    return $form;
}
?>

full code with changed form id only

<?php add_action('gform_pre_render_2', 'gform_limit_submissions');
function gform_limit_submissions($form){
    global $wpdb;

    $limit_message = 'You may only submit this form once every 24 hours.';
    $limit_time = 86400; // must be specified in seconds; 86400 seconds is equal to 24 hours

    /* You do not need to edit below this line */

    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $last_submission = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT date_created FROM {$wpdb->prefix}rg_lead WHERE created_by = %d and form_id = %d ORDER BY date_created DESC", $current_user->ID, $form['id']));

    if(empty($last_submission))
        return $form;

    $time_out = strtotime($last_submission) + $limit_time;
    $current_time = time();

    if($current_time > $time_out)
        return $form;

    $is_submit = rgpost("is_submit_{$form['id']}");

    if(!$is_submit) {
        add_filter('gform_get_form_filter', create_function('', "return '<div class="limit-message">$limit_message</div>';") );
    }

    return $form;
}
?>

thanks Chris this is tested and works perfect!
