I have a hidden field(element_06) in form 13. Here is the code I'm using in view-functions.php:</p> <p>//check for populated value, if exist, use it instead default_value<br /> if(isset($element-&gt;populated_value['element_'.$element-&gt;id]['default_value'])){<br /> $element-&gt;default_value = $element-&gt;populated_value['element_'.$element-&gt;id]['default_value'];<br /> }<br /> if(($_REQUEST['id'] == 13) &#38;&#38; ($element-&gt;id == 6)){<br /> $element-&gt;default_value = $_SESSION['form_data']['element_1'];<br /> }</p> <p>As you can see I'm trying to pre-populate element_06 from a session variable set from the previous form (element_01), but it's not working for me</p> <p>I know the session is working... I checked it using &lt;?php print_r($_SESSION['form_data']); ?&gt;. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/enable-code-in-admin-only-fields#post-547 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:25:31 +0000 yuniar 547@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>ok got it.

It does send the value when the field is set to 'view by everyone' just not when admin only. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/enable-code-in-admin-only-fields#post-523 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 06:29:41 +0000 yuniar 523@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hmm..that's weird, if the field contains the value already, it should be posted to the database. Can you send me the HTML code of this form? </p> <p>Send me your view-functions.php file too, or any other modified files. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/enable-code-in-admin-only-fields#post-521 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 00:20:28 +0000 epsd 521@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Sorry, I was out for the weekend...The field contains the value (i.e., I can see it on-screen), but it doesn't get posted to the database (or sent in an email) when the field is set to admin only. It works fine (i.e., is sent to the DB) when the field is set as 'everyone'. </p> <p>I can't give you the URL as it is on a secured intranet... I can send you the view-functions.php file if you'd like. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/enable-code-in-admin-only-fields#post-513 Sat, 05 Jan 2008 10:28:22 +0000 yuniar 513@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hmm..what doesn't work? The 'admin only' field shows blank value?<br /> It seems tricky to continue in the forum. </p> <p>Could you please mail me the following:<br /> - includes/view-functions.php file<br /> - your machform URL<br /> - your machform username + password</p> <p>Send them to yuniar [at] appnitro.com<br /> I'll take a look. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/enable-code-in-admin-only-fields#post-512 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 20:22:07 +0000 epsd 512@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I'm using the code in regular fields and it now works fine, however, it doesn't work in admin only fields... I have installed the updated bug-fix for admin only fields (which has fixed most of the bug, except for the above for some reason). </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/enable-code-in-admin-only-fields#post-509 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 05:50:31 +0000 yuniar 509@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Simply right click on your form and view source.<br /> The element name would be the actual HTML element name. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/enable-code-in-admin-only-fields#post-506 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 20:09:50 +0000 epsd 506@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>sounds easy enough. how do I determine the element name? Is it just what I've named it or is it from my database?

Edit <strong>display_text()</strong> function. Around line 29 you will find this code:</p> <pre><code>//check for populated value, if exist, use it instead default_value if(!empty($element-&gt;populated_value[&#39;element_&#39;.$element-&gt;id][&#39;default_value&#39;])){ $element-&gt;default_value = $element-&gt;populated_value[&#39;element_&#39;.$element-&gt;id][&#39;default_value&#39;]; }</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> Right under that block of code, add this code:</p> <pre><code>if(($_REQUEST[&#39;id&#39;] == 12) &#38;&#38; ($element-&gt;id == 3)){ $element-&gt;default_value = $_SESSION[&#39;your_session_var&#39;]; }</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> That should set the default value for that particular 'admin only' field to be the same as your session variable.</p> <p>I hope I'm being clear for you.<br /> Please feel free to ask any question you might have. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/enable-code-in-admin-only-fields#post-495 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 01:56:22 +0000 epsd 495@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Just installed under SSL and what a relief it is to have a program like this! Anyway, I have some variables that are being passed from page to page in sessions. I modded the app so that it sees this session data. Works fine. Now, I'd like to get that session data (just a username for example) into an admin only field. In hand coded forms, I'd simply do a php echo of the variable in the value. </p> <p>However, machforms just displays the code and not the variable. I realize that this is for security purposes. Is there a way that I can turn off some of this security for the admin only fields? I'm running in a secure environment so I'm not too concerned about it... </p>
