Just make sure to adjust this value<strong>$form_limits[7] = 100;</strong> with your own value. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/cap-on-entries-email-notification#post-8083 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 13:42:37 +0000 lydia 8083@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Yuniar,</p> <p>great how do i automatically do that?</p> <p>thanks<br /> Lydia </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/cap-on-entries-email-notification#post-8061 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:35:15 +0000 yuniar 8061@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hmm... how about disabling the form automatically after reached a set number of entries?<br /> This one would be possible. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/cap-on-entries-email-notification#post-8058 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:30:38 +0000 lydia 8058@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is it possible to receive an email notification that alarms you when the entries have reached a set number e.g. 100. Then i can go ahead and disable the form</p> <p>thanks<br /> Lydia </p>
