frm_before_display_content

Use this hook to customize the Before Content of a View.

Usage

add_filter('frm_before_display_content', 'customize_before_content', 10, 4);
function customize_before_content($content, $display, $show, $atts)

Parameters

  • $content (string)
  • $display (object)
  • $show (string)
  • $atts (array) => ['total_count'(int), 'entry_count'(int), 'entry_ids'(array)]

Examples

Add Dynamic Total to Before Content

This function will sum all values in field 171, but it will only include entries that are displayed in your View. If some entries are excluded due to a filter, it will not include those entries. Just put [sum_x] in your View's Before Content. Replace x with the ID of the field you would like to sum. You must also replace x in the code below with this field ID.

add_filter('frm_before_display_content', 'dynamic_frm_stats', 10, 4);
function dynamic_frm_stats($content, $display, $show, $atts){
    if ( $display->ID == 1066 ) {//Change 1066 to the ID of your View
        $entries = $atts['entry_ids'];
        $total = 0;
        foreach($entries as $entry){
            $current_value = FrmProEntriesController::get_field_value_shortcode(array( 'field_id' => x, 'entry' => $entry ) );
            if ( $current_value ) {
                $total += $current_value;
            }
        }
        $content = str_replace('[sum_x]', $total, $content);
    }
    return $content;
}
