I have multiple instances where I need to add the value of two fields and then apply conditional logic to that value in my user notification, see below:
[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{Are You Married?:55} + {How many children reside with you?:19}" condition="is" value="3"]
Married with one kid
[/gravityforms]NOTE: The "Are you married" field is a dropdown. If yes is selected, it returns a value of 2, no returns a value of 1
The above didn't work...how can I make that happen?
Unfortunately, conditional logic doesn't allow those kinds of things yet. You would have to create hidden fields in your form, and then using the gform_pre_submission hook, you would have to write a function to do the logic, put a value in your hidden field, and then use conditional logic to pick up on that.
So for your example, you would have a hidden field called "lifestatus".
Your pre_submission hook would grab the submitted values from your two fields, do the math, and send the value back to the lifestatus field.
Then your conditional logic in your notifications would be able to do the is 3 conditional to show Married with one kid.
Check out our documentation here:
http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission
So you would want to grab the values from two form fields, add them together, and assign them to a third hidden field that you would then test again in your conditional shortcode in your notifications.
Worked perfectly...thanks!
add_action("gform_pre_submission", "pre_submission_handler");
function pre_submission_handler($form){
$married = $_POST["input_55"];
$kids = $_POST["input_19"];
//Hidden Field
$_POST["input_57"] = $married + $kids;
}The notification conditional statement
[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{means total:57}" condition="is" value="3"]
Married with one kid
[/gravityforms]Glad to hear it, and thanks for posting your code. I am sure it will help others.
