Stop multiple submissions

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback! ACF Extended Forms use the native ACF Form JS (due to forms JS processing validation & submission the same way) and adds its own logic on top of it for advanced features.

The problem you’re facing is related to the ACF Form way to lock/unlock forms during its submission. ACF will prevent any additional click on the submit button during the Ajax Validation, but not once it’s validated and submitted. This is why some users can successfully click spam the button during the page reload and thus, generate multiple posts.

In order to avoid that behavior, you can add the following JS code in your theme:

// Prevent form submission click spam
$('.acfe-form .button, .acfe-form [type="submit"]').click(function(e){

    if(!$(this).hasClass('disabled'))
        return;

    e.preventDefault();

});

I’ll add that fix in the next ACF Extended patch, and also open a feature request on the official ACF repo, since it’s a global enhancement of ACF Forms behavior.

Hope it helps!

Regards.

Makes complete sense.

That’s perfect thanks Hwk-fr!! As per usual top notch support and help ??
