You can hook into BuddyForms during form submission to manipulate form data or support custom form elements. BuddyForms does offer 2 different hooks to do that.

do_action('buddyforms_after_save_post', $post_id);

Parameters

• $customfield (Array) The current processed form element

2.   buddyforms_update_post_meta will run just before every form element will be saved as custom post meta. 

do_action('buddyforms_update_post_meta',$customfield, $post_id);

Parameters

• $customfield (Array) The current processed form element
  

  Structure: Array (
      [required] => Array
          (
              [0] => 
          )
      [name] =>
      [slug] => 
      [description] => 
      [type] => 
      [order] => 
  ...
  )

Acces Form Data

All submitted values are available in the $_POST. Also if ajax is enabled the $_POST gets created for compatibility reasons. All form data can be accessed with the form element slug.
