Overwrite Entries

  1. I am currently developing a site where logged in users can fill out a form multiple times. I am only interested in saving their latest entry though, and not a history of all their entries. Ideally I'd like an option where a gravity form could lookup the user_id and form_id and if one exists, it would overwrite the user's previous entry.

    I know this is a pretty specific case so my more practical request is to have a gform_pre_submission_lead_filter for the $lead variable in form_display.php line 78 before handle_submission. That way in my custom filter I can look up the lead and pass back a non-null lead if the user already filled out the form so it doesn't get inserted again.

    You could use gform_after_submission, and grab all leads with their user_id and remove all but the latest one. It would require some intermediate level PHP coding. Though, there is this code to remove the current entry upon submission that you could use as a starting point - http://pastie.org/1736243

  3. It would be pretty inefficient to do that, but I guess I have to do it. thanks for the reply.
