gform_validate_required_file_exists

Description

Allow add-ons and custom code to skip the required file exists validation.

Usage

The filter which runs for all forms would be used like so:

add_filter( 'gform_validate_required_file_exists', 'require_file', 10, 3 );

You can also target a specific form by adding the form id after the filter name:

add_filter( 'gform_validate_required_file_exists_17', 'require_file', 10, 3 );

To target a specific field append both the form id and the field id to the hook name:

add_filter( 'gform_validate_required_file_exists_17_8', 'require_file', 10, 3 );

Parameters

• $validate boolean
  Whether to validate the required file exists. Default is true.
• $file array
  The file information.
• $field field object
  The current field object.

Example

Note: This is a simple usage example. For security, it is recommended you perform some checks on the $file before returning false.

add_filter( 'gform_validate_required_file_exists', 'require_file', 10, 3 );
function require_file( $validate, $file, $field ) {
    return $validate;
}

Placement

This code can be used in the functions.php file of the active theme, a custom functions plugin, a custom add-on, or with a code snippets plugin.
