Hi - I'm ready to code this feature.
Here are the fields:
Choose a class:
Class A
Class B
How many students are you enrolling: #number
What I need to do it keep a running tally of how many students have signed up for Class A and how many have signed up for Class B. Once a class enrollment has exceeded 100 then I needed to hide the Class A (or ) option and begin displaying the option Class A Waitlist (or Class B Waitlist)
If I have to I could consider doing an approach where I list each option where it says:
Class A: Number attending _________ (display if Class A < 100)
Class A Wait List: Number attending _________ (display if Class A >= 100)
Class B: Number attending _________ (display if Class B < 100)
Class B Wait List: Number attending _________ (display if Class B >= 100)
This way I could check the database for the value of Class A and Class B separately and choose whether to display Class A or Class A Wait List
I've see some examples around the forum. Looks like I'd need a function.php function added. Could you give me an example and share how I use it on the form
Thanks
Hi Mozak,
Sorry we missed your earlier posts. I'm just closing up shop now but I've marked this topic and will help you figure this out first thing tomorrow. :)
Hi Jocelyn, does this post by David Smith help point you in the right direction?

I also need to be able to query the database to see how many people have signed up thus far.
I would either need to sum all entries each time the form runs or find a way to add a field that I query the database and update each time the form is submitted.
So I'd need php function to do:
if (total-ClassA-registered > 100) {display ClassA option; add number being registered to total-ClassA-registered when the form is submitted} else {display ClassA-Waitlist}
Please let me know if I should upgrade to a Developer to get help on this one
No need to upgrade to a Developer License, unless you would like access to Priority Support or additional add-ons.
I will take a look at this for you this weekend and post something on or before Monday. Thanks.
OK great. Thank you for upgrading. Have you emailed this request to Priority Support or would you like me to continue working on it here? I don't want to duplicate effort if you have also emailed Priority Support.
Let me know your deadline Jocelyn. Carl Hancock is travelling and normally handles priority support. Response time may be a little longer, so if we have time, I'd like to handle this here.
I'd like to get the code working by Wednesday. This is my first time writing custom code to interface w/gravity forms so I might need it spelled out a bit. That said ... I love writing custom shortcodes so I am not new to the functions.php file.
Very good. Look for an answer from me on Monday. Thanks Jocelyn.
Hi - I'm getting nervous. I put up this post over a week ago after being told that I would get support on this project once I bought the plugin. I need to have this done by tomorrow which means I should be testing things today. I know you are doing your best ... but what should I do?
David Smith and I have talked about this and he has some code ready for you. Here it is. I asked him to post here with a full explanation but wanted you to have this now so you can start testing. Please let us know if you have any specific questions.
Here is how I have the field setup:

And here is the code:

When I add that code to my functions.php I get the error:Oops! We could not locate your form.
When I remove it the form displays
Hi Jocelyn,
Any chance I could get a WP login and FTP access to take a look? Send to david@rocketgenius.com.
I wonder if I need to first fill out the form w/o this logic to initiate the database?
Another issue: Field #25 holds the number of students registered each time the form is submitted.
So in the loop it is not ++ but instead needs to be += field #25
Jocelyn, was David able to help you with your code?
