v7.4

Version 7.4 is out! See more on the release notes.

Important notes for developers...

If you are gathering text values from the database via getData and then using them to lookup other values... ie:

define('ACTIVITY_FORM_ID', 2);
define('LOCATION_FORM_ID', 3);
$activityDataHandler = new formulizeDataHandler(ACTIVITY_FORM_ID);
$locationData = getData($relationshipId, LOCATION_FORM_ID);
foreach($locationData as $entry) {
  $activity = $activityDataHandler->findFirstEntryWithValue('activity_location', display($entry, 'location_name'));
}

If you're doing stuff like that, where you use the display function to get a text value that you use to lookup data in the database, then there may be impacts in the latest version on how your code works.

Currently, Formulize stores text values with the following characters converted to html special characters:

' => '
" => "
< => &lt;
> => &gt;

Currently, the display function returns to you a clean value with the literal characters in it, no html special characters. For now, you will need to take this into account in any custom code that manually gathers data from the database like this. In a future release, the data storage format will be changed so there are no html special character conversions on user data entered to the database.
