Hook to modify value when editing or viewing

Labels

This Discussion is public

I've added some hooks to encrypt data for certain fields when a form is created or updated.  Works like a charm.   See the attachment that shows the form entries.  For this, I'm using the following two hooks.

  • frm_add_entry_meta
  • frm_after_update_entry

When the information is displayed in a view, the encrypted content is replaced with "Encrypted".  Working like a charm. See the attachment with a small view in the form of a list.  I'm using the following hook.

  • frmpro_fields_replace_shortcodes

However, when I go to edit the form, I need to decrypt the field and present it back to the user.  See the attachment with the encrypted blob in the form.  I'm sure the hook is there, but I could really use a pointer to which one it is.

I found the following hook... it has let me display the unencrypted value and even throw a snazzy little decrypted icon in front of it.

frm_setup_edit_fields_vars

I'm loving this product but I have to say that the hook names leave a little something to be desired.

 

If there is a better way to do this folks, please let me know.  I'm just stumbling around as I test this tool out for larger uses.

Well, the frm_setup_edit_fields_vars hook seems to be the right hook. When I update an entry, the data is re-encrypted and stored properly. HOWEVER, it fails when the page reloads after a page update.

When I review the $values['value'] string it appears to be pre-encrypted string. This leads me to believe it gathers $values['value'] from $_POST.

My thought was to just grab it directly from the db using the FrmEntryMeta::get_entry_meta class but when I do it completely fails. I get an undefined method error. So... I'm not sure the best course of action.

add_filter('frm_setup_edit_fields_vars', 'frm_show_encrypted_field', 20, 3);
function frm_show_encrypted_field($values, $field, $entry_id){
global $frm_encrypted_fields;

if (in_array($field->id, $frm_encrypted_fields)){
$data = FrmEntryMeta::get_entry_meta($entry_id, $field->id);
//$data = $values['value'];
$values['value'] = Cryptor::Decrypt($data, SMRI_CRYPTOR_KEY);
$values['btsp']['prepend'] = '';
}

return $values;
}

hello, @Eddiemoto  How can I changed Encrypted values when Xml values Views any Actions There?
