Search around line 2561 for this code:<br /> <pre><code>if(empty($error_elements) &#38;&#38; empty($process_result[&#39;custom_error&#39;])){ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = true;</code></pre> <p>exactly below that code, add this code:<br /> <a href="https://gist.github.com/anonymous/bdc43a8e896cebea057a" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/anonymous/bdc43a8e896cebea057a</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/turn-off-form-entries#post-17264 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 00:02:49 +0000 Giorgio 17264@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi, I agree that this feature could be added in the next version.<br /> In the meantime Yuniar, I would need to optionally disable saving entries to db in version 3.4 with:<br /> - single page form;<br /> - having "review" disabled;</p> <p>Thank you very much! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/turn-off-form-entries#post-17240 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 23:31:33 +0000 williamansley 17240@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Yuniar, please consider building this functionality into Machform as a new feature. I can see that it might be useful for some applications at the community college where I work. It is marvelous that you provide so much help in customizing Machform at the code level, but after my experience of having to update from a heavily customized Machform 2 to 3, I am very reluctant to do any more customization directly to the code. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/turn-off-form-entries#post-17235 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 13:12:39 +0000 yuniar 17235@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>There are slight changes within v3.4 and the code is different, depend on your form.<br /> 1) are you using single page or multipage form?<br /> 2) is your form having "review" enabled or not? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/turn-off-form-entries#post-17220 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 06:06:03 +0000 justinmartin 17220@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I need to implement this on 3.4, but I am unable to locate the location mentioned above.

It should be around line 1217.<br /> The block of code is like this:</p> <pre><code>//if there is any error message or elements, send false as status if(empty($error_elements) &#38;&#38; empty($process_result[&#39;custom_error&#39;])){ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = true; //PUT CUSTOM CODE HERE...... //if &#39;form review&#39; enabled, send review_id if(!empty($form_review)){ $process_result[&#39;review_id&#39;] = $record_insert_id; } }else{ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = false; }</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/turn-off-form-entries#post-13375 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:17:54 +0000 joshualowery 13375@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>hmm, that doesn't seem to work. Here is the code that I have in that file.<br /> <pre><code>//this function handle password submission and general form submission if(isset($input[&#39;password&#39;])){ //if there is password input, do validation $query = &quot;select count(form_id) valid_password from &lt;code&gt;ap_forms&lt;/code&gt; where form_password=&#39;{$input[&#39;password&#39;]}&#39;&quot;; $result = do_query($query); $row = do_fetch_result($result); if(!empty($row[&#39;valid_password&#39;])){ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = true; //LINES 1211-1213 ARE CUSTOM AND KEEP ENTRIES FROM BEING RECORDED IN THE DATABASE if(in_array($form_id,array(1,2,3,4,5))){ do_query(&quot;delete from ap_form_{$form_id}&quot;); } $_SESSION[&#39;user_authenticated&#39;] = $form_id; }else{ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = false; $process_result[&#39;custom_error&#39;] = $lang[&#39;form_pass_invalid&#39;]; } return $process_result; }</code></pre> <p>I verified that the file uploaded correctly and deleted all entries for form #3. Then I filled out form #3. I received an email with the information and the form was logged as normal in the database. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/turn-off-form-entries#post-13368 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:55:31 +0000 yuniar 13368@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Ok, you'll need to edit "includes/post-functions.php" file for this.<br /> Let say you need to disable the entries for forms with these id numbers: 3, 5, 9, 15</p> <p>Then search around line 1217 and you'll find this code:</p> <pre><code>$process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = true;</code></pre> <p>exactly below that line, add this block of code:</p> <pre><code>if(in_array($form_id,array(3,5,9,15))){ do_query(&quot;delete from ap_form_{$form_id}&quot;); }</code></pre> <p>that should do it. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/turn-off-form-entries#post-13361 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:14:24 +0000 joshualowery 13361@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Just a few of them. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/turn-off-form-entries#post-13346 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:41:57 +0000 yuniar 13346@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Josh,</p> <p>It is possible to delete the entry immediately after the email being sent.<br /> Do you need to do this for all of your forms or just few of them? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/turn-off-form-entries#post-13331 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:53:09 +0000 joshualowery 13331@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>My client is requesting sensitive information from the user and only wants the information emailed to them. Is it possible to receive a submission from the user, send that information to an email address, but not have the information stored in the database? Or is it possible to auto-delete entries from the database using a cron (so I could delete them every 5 minutes or so).</p> <p>Thank you very much for the assistance,<br /> Josh </p>
