How can I add fields?

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 03:37:21 +0000

qa-base.php has a line that throws a warning if a $_POST entry is an array:

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
$_POST[$key]=stripslashes($value);

This doesn't work for a <select> field that has the "multiple" attribute and a name ending in [], e.g.:

<select name="myselect[]" multiple>

since this passes the post variable as an array:

stripslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /var/www/q2a/qa-include/qa-base.php on line 158

Any solution?

EDIT: okay, I found one workaround, also realized it is only a problem for wordpress integration, since the above line is trying to change some wordpress behaviour. The workaround is to add the folowing to my qa-config.php file:

    foreach($_POST as $i => $p)
       if(is_array($p))
           $_POST[$i] = implode(',',$p);

and then re-explode the string later. Unfortunately, that doesn't help when creating a plugin...

form_select bug

Sun, 09 Oct 2011 02:14:32 +0000

Hi,

I noticed if we add a select field on registration form, and at submit the form presents some errors (not at select field) the POST value for select field is not maintained.

This is because of an error in form_select:

$this->output('<OPTION VALUE="'.$tag.'"'.(($value==@$field['value']) ? ' SELECTED' : '').'>'.$value.'</OPTION>');

should be:

$this->output('<OPTION VALUE="'.$tag.'"'.(($tag==@$field['value']) ? ' SELECTED' : '').'>'.$value.'</OPTION>');
