So that you won't need to modify any file. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/removedont-display-form-at-all-when-disabled#post-18845 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 23:49:24 +0000 zforray 18845@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I am about to upgrade to 3.5. Do I still need to modify view-functions.php with these changes? Does you changes to "Custom Form Inactive Message" address or change how this should be handled? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/removedont-display-form-at-all-when-disabled#post-17968 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 23:31:57 +0000 zforray 17968@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Another issue. I went through and removed all the "spam protection" (until you respond with a possible way to get around the problem) and then when I submitted/continued (since I had "review" option enabled), it errored the hidden forms with:</p> <p>Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /hermes/waloraweb086/b942/pow.scbcweb/forms/htdocs/includes/entry-functions.php on line 359</p> <p>So, for now I have removed the "review" option </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/removedont-display-form-at-all-when-disabled#post-17967 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:44:13 +0000 zforray 17967@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, Yuniar, that took care of hiding the forms. However, the other problem I have is that since there is "spam protection" on all of the entries, answering the spam protection question on the displayed form then pops-up/reveals ALL of the hidden forms telling me I need to answer their "spam protection" questions as well.......</p> <p>My test page is here:</p> <p><a href="http://swiftcreekbaptist.org/Resources/Menu_test.htm" rel="nofollow">http://swiftcreekbaptist.org/Resources/Menu_test.htm</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/removedont-display-form-at-all-when-disabled#post-17961 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:10:33 +0000 yuniar 17961@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>You can try editing "includes/view-functions.php" file. Search around line 4552 for this code:</p> <pre><code>if(empty($form-&gt;active) || $form_has_maximum_entries){</code></pre> <p>below that line, add this code:</p> <pre><code>return &#39;&#39;;</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/removedont-display-form-at-all-when-disabled#post-17949 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 02:02:51 +0000 zforray 17949@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I am trying to setup a page that contains the code for 5-forms (1-per week of a month) where the forms visibility is controlled by the date-range. The problem I have is the huge blank spacing that is left for each inactive form. I already edited language.php to completely blank-out the "this form is inactive message" since that would simply confuse folks to see it 4-6 times (my folks want to include extra weeks if possible).</p> <p>What code can I change so that if a form is inactive, it simply exists and doesn't do anything at all - including blank lines/spacing.</p> <p>I am using the embed PHP code since you can't have multiple forms on one page using the Javascript option. </p>
