I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a hook for gravity forms to $.post serialised form data so Gravity Forms can handle it and insert it into the database.
I was digging around the code and couldn't find how Gravity Forms itself inserts data as the URL action of the form seems just to be the permalink of the page.
I couldn't find a hook either where I could use the WordPress Ajax api to hook into a gravity forms insert entry sort of function.
Any ideas?
Seems to be what I'm looking for is this:

I am using gravity form plugin on my WordPress website for client registration. Currently I am getting notification on email. I want to save the field data to csv/text file after hitting submit. Please someone suggest me how to do that.
Thanks :)
There has a hook gform_after_submission which executes after form submitted. You can add your own action where you will get all the form data and then you can create csv/text file there. Here is the documentation.

I'm transitioning from CodeIgniter to WordPress. Still trying to wrap my head around WordPress plugin development... seems pretty easy, but one thing I can't figure out is: where do I send the form data? In CodeIgniter, you could simply create another method in the controller and point the form action there, but it seems WordPress plugins are a little different.
Depends on how your plugin is generating the form. Typically you do it by registering a shortcode, something like [my_form] that you can insert into a page or post where you want the form to appear.
In your plugin code the form action can be blank -- simply reload the same Wordpress page. Your form info. will be in the global $_POST and your plugin can then process the data.
So your plugin shortcode function would have something like:
if(isset($_POST['my_plugin_form_field'])){
/* code to process the form info and generate a message on screen
}
else{
/* the form hasn't been submitted yet so here is the code to display it
}
I am struggling to find out if I can do this but I have a cakephp form with many input fields and when submitted I write them to a text file I can add fields in dynamically here by clicking a button but:
My question is if I have an admin page how do I get that to dynamically add fields to the page and make them stay there forever not just for that session?
Really stuck figuring out how to do this any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Make them persistent. You need to store the form and the fields it has: "Form hasMany FormField". The fields should describe a type so that the FormHelper will render the correct inputs.
When you want to display the form read that information from the db again and render the form according to your stored information.
I am guessing you already have a javascript function that dynamically adds the field to your admin page. Is that correct?
I don't use CakePHP, but a general workaround I use is to use the javascript function to at the same time update a table in the database that stores the form layout.
Here are some Jquery Form builder plugins that you can use to achieve the goal.

Here is an excellent link of PHP FormBuilder class with tutorial, that you can use as a vendor library into CakePHP.
When you use a multi-page form built with Gravity Forms data must be saved in somewhere. I looked in sessions and database but I have not found.
Any suggestion is very welcome.
Data is passed between pages populating all input elements. Only the current page is showed and the rest are hidden! Database is updated only when last page is submitted.
