   Hi All,

   I have a need for users to be able to enter mutliple almost identical entries.
   The easiest way to do this would be for them to hit the back button a couple of times after submitting. This keeps (quite correctly) giving the message that the session has expired & they need to start again.

   One thought I had was for a user to be able to edit an existing entry & 'save as new'.
   Alternatively how about a means of submitting but not clearing the data from the temp table & go back to edit it & then save as new?

   Any ideas?

   Hmm.. the session expiry checking is indeed designed to avoid duplicate entries.

   I'm not sure if this would work, but try to edit you confirm.php and confirm_embed.php.
   Search around line 33 for this code:

   unset($_SESSION['review_id']);
   
   remove that line.

   Or perhaps you can disable the "form review" option, so that your users could hit the back button immediately after submitting?

   Hi Yuniar,

   Thanks for your quick response.

   I tried both of those options however & they don't seem to work.

   Just thinking out loud for a moment.....
   How easy would it to set the default entry for an element to the last submitted entry for that element? (maybe with a hack to not do this for email address - or any other element we decide not to populate?).

   Sorry I forgot one thing. Let me try it again.

   1) Enable form review
   2) Edit confirm.php and confirm_embed.php, remove the unset($_SESSION['review_id']); as I've pointed above.
   3) Edit includes/post-functions.php, at the bottom of that file (around line 2262) you'll find this code:

   do_query("DELETE FROM ap_form_{$form_id}_review where id='{$record_id}' or session_id='{$session_id}'");
   
   remove that line.

   That should do it.

   Thanks Yuniar!

   It's working perfectly!

   I'd also just like to reiterate what I said in my email to you.
   This is a fantastic product!
   I'm enormously impressed with the support you offer your customers.
   I only hope that you're making enough money for the incredible levels of support to continue.
