Features
Storing form data in magic data is intended to be used in the following situtations:
- centrally maintained data that does not change frequently
- data that you want translations/localizations for
- data that you do not care to track the history of changes
- data that you want to load in easily for a module
Storage
All the data for form $form is stored in the magic data instance at the path
/I2CE/formsData/forms/$form
with each node underneath corresponding to an instance of the form. For example, under
/I2CE/formsData/forms/gender
we have
'F' => Array [
'last_modified' => '2009-04-27 1:23:45'
'fields' => Array [
'name' => 'Female'
]
]
'M' => Array [
'last_modified' => '2009-04-27 1:23:45'
'fields' => Array [
'name' => 'Male'
]
]
If there is a parent form for the form, it is saved under 'parent' node for form instance.
