Last Updated: April 30, 2018

Knowledge Base → Extend Formidable Forms → Formidable Hooks - for Developers → Entry Management → frm_time_to_check_duplicates
Heads up!
This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. We offer this code as a courtesy, but don't provide support for code customizations or 3rd party development.

This hook can be used to change the amount of time that is allowed between duplicate entries. By default, duplicate entries can't be submitted within 60 seconds of each other.

Usage

add_filter('frm_time_to_check_duplicates', 'change_duplicate_time_limit', 10, 2);
function change_duplicate_time_limit( $time_limit, $entry_values )

Parameters

  • $time_limit (string)
  • $entry_values (array)

Examples

Remove the time limit for all forms

add_filter( 'frm_time_to_check_duplicates', '__return_false' );

Remove the time limit for a specific form

add_filter('frm_time_to_check_duplicates', 'change_duplicate_time_limit_one_form', 10, 2);
function change_duplicate_time_limit_one_form( $time_limit, $entry_values ){
	if ( $entry_values['form_id'] == 100 ) { //change 100 to your form ID
		$time_limit = 0;
	}
	return $time_limit;
}

Disallow duplicate entries in a specific form for one year

add_filter('frm_time_to_check_duplicates', 'change_duplicate_time_limit_one_form', 10, 2);
function change_duplicate_time_limit_one_form( $time_limit, $entry_values ) {
    if ( $entry_values['form_id'] == 100 ) { //change 100 to your form ID
        $time_limit = 31536000;
    }
    return $time_limit;
}

You may also want to use frm_duplicate_check_val to remove an IP address or other value from the check that may be unique to the duplicate entry.

Disallow duplicate entries for one year for every form

add_filter('frm_time_to_check_duplicates', 'change_duplicate_time_limit_every_form');
function change_duplicate_time_limit_every_form() {
   return 31536000;
}
