Form will not load after successful addition

[filch]

The thing is though, I do not think these are a result of unfinished submissions. There is simply too many of them. there is no way that someone started and did not finish this many times.

Hey Dave,

Yeah - the API always reserves records for the form submissions, even those that don't get finished.

But here's an easy fix:
http://docs.formtools.org/api/?page=ft_a...ubmissions

That function deletes all old unfinalized submissions. You can just add it to your form page and it will always keep the database nice and clean.

Note: I strongly recommend omitting the second parameter (not setting it to true). The documentation page explains why.

All the best -

Ben

Ben, where do you put this bit of code ... on the form page or the thankyou page? I assume the form page ... yes?

Ben, can you clarify what "form_tools_submission_id" means in this case. In the instructions, you say "the $fields variable should be named to whatever your ft_api_init_form_page() function call returns" are you referring to the ID or what? Sorry is this is obvious and I just don't get it.

Dave


$fields["form_tools_submission_id"
