Purposefully not save form in entries database

[UPDATED CODE February 25, 2013 to use gform_after_submission rather gform_post_submission]

Hi Sccr410,

Try adding this code to your functions.php file:

http://pastebin.com/7eqFGYyR

You'll want to update the 1 following "gform_after_submission_" on this line:

add_action('gform_after_submission_1', 'remove_form_entry', 10, 2);

...to the ID of the form you wish to "not save" the entries for. Since there is no way to not save the entries, what this script does is simply deletes them after the post has been submitted.

This is awesome, thanks David. I didn't know this could be done automatically like this. I'll be implementing it too as there's no real need, in my use case, for a separate GF table entry if the post is already in the database.

Cheers
Richard

Hi,
I have a few questions about this:

1. Which functions.php page are you referring to? I've found two so far - one in my theme directory and one in the "wp-includes" directory. But I did a search and neither contains the code "add_action('gform_post_submission_1', 'remove_form_entry', 10, 2);".

2. I need to auto-delete several different forms from the site when they are emailed. Is that possible? If so, could you give an example of how it would look? I assume there would be the first form ID, then some type of separator (comma?) then the next and so on?

Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Hi Carl,

Thanks. I copied and pasted the code into the bottom of my functions.php (I'm using an Artisteer theme). However, when I now try to access the form in the WP admin panel for Gravity Forms, I get the following error message:
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /.../functions.php on line 374"

Line 374 is the first line of the code from pastie - <?php

Here's a little of the code above what I copied and pasted in - maybe you can see from this what I'm doing wrong?

Actually this is really easy, you simply added your own call to PHP when it wasn't necessary. Simply remove it and all will be fine. So at this part in your functions (line 7-10 in your above code):

</div>
<?php
}
<?php

To simply this:

</div>
<?php
}
