Conditionally Cookies save after checkbox click

hyperweb · March 22, 2019, 3:48pm

Hello,
I would like to ask you for advice about a form I have recently built. This is the URL where you can check it - http://cloud.tandet.com/~shipnamerica/request-a-quote/ .
There is a checkbox field - “Save my contact information for future Freight Rate Quotes” which should be saving Cookies and fields be auto-populated after the form is once submitted.

At this moment I managed to enable Cookies for the form which are saved once the form is submitted but they should be populated only in a condition after this checkbox is clicked.
Can you please advice me for a way of doing this.

The code which I used to make this auto-fill after form submission was from this thread - https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/little-hint-from-me-save-user-input-in-cookie-and-prepopulate-form

Hope you can give me advice about setting up this feature with the checkbox.
Thank you.
Kind regards.

What is the code you are using to set the cookie now? If you share that, we might be able to help you check for that checkbox value to conditionally.

Inside the pre_submission_handler there should be a check if the cookie-checkbox (to call it that ) has been selected and if not: return.

Something along these lines:

function pre_submission_handler($form_meta) {
    if ( false == $_POST['input_68'] ) return;
    ....

Hello Chris and Hiranthi,
Thank you for your advices. I appreciate it.
The code which is currently applied in my functions.php is:

add_action("gform_pre_submission", "pre_submission_handler");
function pre_submission_handler($form_meta) {
	$saveVars = array("name", "email", "phone");

    foreach($form_meta["fields"] as $field) {
		if (in_array($field["inputName"], $saveVars)) {
			setcookie("gf_".$field["inputName"], $_POST["input_" . $field["id"]], time() + 31536000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false, true);
		}
	}
}

add_filter("gform_field_value_name", "populate_name");
function populate_name() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_name"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_phone", "populate_phone");
function populate_phone() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_phone"];
}
add_filter("gform_field_value_email", "populate_email");
function populate_email() {
	return $_COOKIE["gf_email"];
}

Best Regards, Nick.

Combining Hiranthi’s code with yours, this should work:

add_action("gform_pre_submission", "pre_submission_handler");
function pre_submission_handler($form_meta) {
	if ( false == $_POST['input_68'] ) return;
	$saveVars = array("name", "email", "phone");
    foreach($form_meta["fields"] as $field) {
		if (in_array($field["inputName"], $saveVars)) {
			setcookie("gf_".$field["inputName"], $_POST["input_" . $field["id"]], time() + 31536000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false, true);
		}
	}
}

That just checks to see if field 68 (your checkbox field) was submitted, and if not, skip the code to set the cookies.

Hello. Thanks so much for the efforts to help solve this.
I updated with the code above but is not saving cookies after the checkbox is clicked.
The attached is the code from my functions.php.

Best Regards, Nick.
Thank you.

In the above code, I recommend adding a logging line, like this:

add_action("gform_pre_submission", "pre_submission_handler");
function pre_submission_handler($form_meta) {
	GFCommon::log_debug( __METHOD__ . '(): POST => ' . print_r( $_POST, true ) );
	if ( false == $_POST['input_68'] ) return;

That will only be helpful if you enable Gravity Forms logging:

The $_POST will be logged and see can see what is happening and determine if the logic is just plain wrong on something like that.

Hello, thank you once again for trying to help my situation!
I enabled logging and replaced with the code provided above.
This is what I got from the log document:

hiranthi · March 29, 2019, 9:10pm

It appears that this line:
if ( false == $_POST['input_68'] ) return;

Should actually be this:
if ( false == $_POST['input_68_1'] ) return;

Could be input_68_3 too btw (they both have a value of 1, which equals true).

chrishajer · March 29, 2019, 9:22pm

Actually, with the Consent field, it looks like it might be THIS!

if ( false == $_POST['input_2_68_1'] ) return;

hiranthi · March 29, 2019, 9:24pm

I got mine from the ’ pre_submission_handler(): POST => Array’ output:

chrishajer · March 29, 2019, 9:46pm

Yeah, weird huh? I have not worked with the consent field. I am curious if any of that is present when the form is submitted if the box is NOT checked.

Also, I am wondering if the revision of what you are consenting to is stored in that id?

May have to experiment…
