   Hi,

   Two questions. I guess I saw a topic about a forced value but can't find it anymore. A form should only be submitted if the value for a field is equal to a predefined value.

   Second problem: I have a dropdown with, for example, the following options:
   Answer A
   Answer B
   Answer C

   When the value is e-mailed to me I don't want to see this exact value, but with some hidden code, like:

   A1-Answer A
   A2-Answer B
   A3-Answer C

   For each option an other "prefix". In HTML this isn't so hard.. but with Machform I don't know what to edit..

   Any ideas how I should solve this problems?

   Thanks in advance!

   Hi,

   For your first question, I'm not sure where you want to put the validation. However let's make an example, let's say you need a user to fill a number field value greater than 10, otherwise it'll show an error. To do this, you need to edit "includes/post-functions.php" file, go to around line 238 and you'll see these code :

   $validation_result = validate_element($target_input,$rules);

   then put these code exactly bellow that line

   if ($form_id == 7 && $element_id == 3) {
   	if ($element_data < 10) {
   		$error_elements[$element_id] = "You need to input a number greater that 10";
   	}
   }

   That code will work for form 7 with number field id 3, you need to change those ID's with yours.

   And for your second questions, you need to edit "includes/helper-functions.php" to set drop down prefix in mail notification. Go to around line 355 and you'll see this code :

   $email_body .= "<tr {$row_style}>\n";

   then put these code exactly above that line

   if ($data['element_type'] == 'select' &&  $data['element_id'] == 2 && $form_id == 7) {
   	switch($data['value']) {
   		case 'First option':
   			$data['value'] = 'A1 - ' . $data['value'];
   			break;
   		case 'Second option':
   			$data['value'] = 'A2 - ' . $data['value'];
   			break;
   		case 'Third option':
   			$data['value'] = 'A3 - ' . $data['value'];
   			break;
   	}
   }

   Those code will add a prefix based on your drop down selection and don't forget to change the id's also
