Hook Examples

Only allow one edit

If you would like to only allow an entry to be edited once, we can compare the updated and the creation dates. If they are different, the entry has already been edited. In order for this to work, you should enable editing in your form settings, and this code will prevent the editing. Keep in mind editing could also be done automatically
See example >
Insert a link for each field option into a shortcode

Use [25 shortcode=1] To display individual links for each field option selected from a checkbox field.
See example >
Break post content and View connection

If you are using a form to create a post, and you have mapped the post content to a View, you will not be able to edit the post content through your WordPress admin. The post content will be filtered by the View that it is linked to. If you would like to break the connection between the post content and the View so you can edit your post through the back-end, you may add the code below to your site. Please note that when you break the connection between the post content and a View, then any changes made to the View will not affect the post content.

In the code below, replace 156 with the ID of your form.

Autopopulating Dropdown Fields with Autocomplete Enabled

When autocomplete is enabled on a dropdown field, your standard code will not work to autopopulate it.

If you insert any kind of javascript that intends to alter a dropdown field which has . . . autocomplete enabled, the following code snippet has to be added in order for any changes to be reflected : $("select[name='item_meta[123]']").trigger("chosen:updated"); . where item meta[123] is the dropdown field which you are trying to alter.

That little snippet is required for not just conditionally selecting a default value, but also for conditionally hiding / showing certain dropdown options, etc.
