Submission Pre-Parser: Edit submission in UI not updating field

[russellfeeed]

Hi

I have a Submission Pre-Parser rule which fires on Update of a submission via the Formtools UI.

The rule *is* firing and using some print_r debug I can see the the values I've entered.

also

Code:

$_POST[form_tools_calling_function] => ft_update_submission

I need to take two of the fields and encrypt them. My code for this is working fine.

How do I get these modified values back into the database?
I've tried putting them into the $_POST variable using the correct keys (my field names and database names are the same) but they just refuse to update!

Strangely,

PHP Code:

echo(print_r($_REQUEST,true)); 


gives me

Code:

Array ( [form_id] => 6 [submission_id] => 1 [tab] => 3 [notes] => [item_no] => [status] => [mbbs_order_number] => [directdebit_sortcode] => 20-21-33 [directdebit_account] => 01234560 [imei] => [field_ids] => 336,337,338,339,349,350,351,352,353,355 [update] => UPDATE )

but

PHP Code:

echo(print_r($_POST,true)); 


Only gives me

Code:

Array ( [form_tools_calling_function] => ft_update_submission )

I've tried assigning the new values back to both $_POST and $_REQUEST to no avail.


My Edit Submission page has several tabs. Maybe this is the problem?

Cheers

I've done some more poking....

should I (and is it valid to) call ft_update_submission($form_id, $submission_id, $infohash) to do the update?

bump...

I'm trying to do something similar again... Submission Preparser won't update the submission when I edit it.

Any have any ideas?

thanks in advance

Hey Russell,

Ah! This one trips me up too - it's not at all clear, I should really include better documentation right in the module. What version of the Pre-Parser module + Core are you running?
