Karol dionizy asked 1 year ago

Hello
I would like some help there is a hidden field on the form, it should include a generated identifier that can be used to refer to it later here is the code I put in functions.php

 

  function set_formidable_token($values) {
error_log("Function is triggered"); 
error_log("Form ID from values: " . $values['view_id']);
error_log(print_r($values, true));

if ($values['form_id'] == 2) {
error_log("Form ID condition is met"); 
$token = generateStrongToken();
$values['item_meta'][135] = $token; 
error_log("Token after generation: " . $token);
}
return $values;  

I would refer to the ID of the form, which is: 2
and the code of the hidden field on the form is 135 however, it does not enter the cycle unless I enter the ID of "views".

How can I solve this?
The token code is generated, I check this with the error_log  

thx Karol

From what formidable hook are you calling this method, i.e., what function is passing "$values" in?

the routine runs automatically before storing the form

That doesn't make sense to me. That function is a custom function, not a formidable one, so either you're explicitly calling it or it's the callback function in one of the hooks.

You should be using your function as the callback function for the frm_pre_create_entry filter. https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/frm_pre_create_entry/
