Quantity needs a valid number: but it is!

    Hi, I've setup all the plugin and it goes to PayPal correctly (I'm still in sandbox mode now). The problem is with the product field. I have dinamically populated name and price and it seems ok.
    In the form, as test user, I insert the quantity and submit: the form tells that I need to insert a valid value! If i submit again (without changing the value) it works. How could it be?? Thanks!

    Are you using PHP and custom code to dynamically populate form data?

    Yes I am. I have several products but I need one form.

    Okay, the issue is going to be how you are dynamically populating the field(s). Can you post your custom code so we can take a look? Use http://pastie.org and post a link to the code snippet.

    The way the Pricing Fields work is it checks the values against what the form is setup to use to insure users aren't tampering with the values. Depending on how your custom code was written, it's going to trigger this and think it's been tampered with. It's a security measure.

    ok, here it is the page template i'm using for the form:
    http://pastie.org/1845098

    in the form edit, i checked "Allow field to be populated dynamically" and i used:
    Name: prodotto
    Price : prezzo
    Quantity: quantita

    Note that i'm in phase 1: I inserted a value in the populate function.
    I wanted to pass to phase 2 (dinamically pass a value depending on a post custom field) when phase 1 works.
    Thank you very much!

    You are very close. The validation is getting triggered by the price, not the quantity. The reason is that the price value needs to be currency formatted. See below

    Replace

    add_filter("gform_field_value_prezzo", "populate_prezzo");
function populate_prezzo($value){
	return 550;
	}

    With

    add_filter("gform_field_value_prezzo", "populate_prezzo");
function populate_prezzo($value){
	return GFCommon::to_money(550);
}

    Thank you Alex, that was a doubt I had.
    I changed the code but the form still says that I have to insert a valid number...

    Interesting. It worked well on my local install. If you send me a WP login to alex@rocketgenius.com, I will be happy to take a closer look.

    Hi
    This post is almost what I need and I have it working on my form BUT...

    How can I pass a the $value variable to the function.
    I want to use:
    return GFCommon::to_money($value)

    I'm setting $value is a pre-form php case statement based on a GET (url) variable.
    It all works fine IF is use:
    return GFCommon::to_money(550)
    and sets the form price to £550.00

    Thanks in advance
    Steve
