Form Storage – Magic Data

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.
