I noticed the gform_pre_submission hook includes the $form OBJECT but not the $entry OBJECT.
I'm attempting to change the subject line of the notification email based upon selections in the user's entry. Is there a way to access the $_POST or rgpost or $entry object from within gform_pre_submission?
I've seen rgpost('input_#') a couple of places on the site and I was wondering if that was a function for retrieving the entry of an input.
Thanks for your help.
Yes, you can access all the $_POST values in the gform_pre_submission or gform_pre_submission_filter. The rgpost function just sanitizes the values a little bit so you're not directly reading the $_POST. Here is a simple example:
[php]
<?php
// change the 14 here to your form ID
add_filter('gform_pre_submission_filter_14', 'change_notification_subject');
function change_notification_subject($form){
// grab the first and last name, parts of field 1
$fname = rgpost('input_1_3');
$lname = rgpost('input_1_6');
// modify the subject line of the user notification
$form['autoResponder']['subject'] = "$fname $lname: Today is your lucky day!";
// return modified form
return $form;
}Very helpful. Thank you. I searched the documentation but didn't find anything on rgpost().
I'm not sure where I learned that one. You could just access $_POST directly, but rgpost strips slashes. You could also use RGForms::post. The preferred method is rgpost. All 3 methods will get you the same value.
Were you able to successfully modify your subject line?
