getFormsById()

Generates a SQL to select the required fields. @param callback $field_refernece_callback. A callback function whose first arguement is the form, the second arguements is the field and which returns the way the field value should be references as a field. If the callback is null (the default) then the reference used is "$form+$field"

    • string $form
      The form we are select from

      A list of fields to look up and return.
    • string $delim
      The delimiter to put between returned fields if there are more than one. If false, returns the values as an array.
  • Returns: string
    false on failure

lookupField()

  • Parameters:

populateHistory()

Populate the member variables of the object from the database.

  • Signature: public function populateHistory($form)
  • Parameters:

save()

Save a form object into entry tables. If this functio is over-written, it should include the fuzzy method call foreach ($form as $field) { $field->save(true/false, $user) }

  • Parameters:
    • string $form
      The form name.
    • boolean $parent

      • Default Value: false
    • mixed $where_data
      array or class implementing ArrayAccess, Iterator, and Countable (e.g. MagicDataNode) . the where data.
      • Default Value: array()

      Defaults to false. It true, returns only one result. If an integer it is the numeber of records to limit to. If it is as an array of two integers, it is the offset and then number of results to limit to.
      • Default Value: false
  • Returns: mixed
    an array of matching form ids. However, ff $limit_one is true or 1 or array ($offset,1) then then we return either the id or false, if none found or there was an error.
