Any suggestions on where I can find suitable developers for this particular issue? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/encrypt-data-how-to-do-this-and-how-does-affect-retrieval-of-data#post-72947 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:02:56 +0000 David Peralty 72947@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would add examples such as those linked to by Chris into your theme's functions.php file. But yes, you need to grab the data, encode it, and then send it to the database, and vice versa if you want to read it or use it. You can change out the functions to encode the data using the same hooks to encrypt it. You would have to find your own code for this though as it is a customization beyond the features Gravity Forms provides. There are many skilled developers that could help create this function for you. </p> <p>As for adding it to the core of Gravity Forms, most plugins that encode or encrypt data only have more support issues. If we ever do add this feature (it is on our list) it will be done in such a way that turning it on will still require technical understanding. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/encrypt-data-how-to-do-this-and-how-does-affect-retrieval-of-data#post-72900 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 09:43:57 +0000 hkim 72900@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for the reply. So basically I have to create new php-files (at least) to encode and decode certain forms? </p> <p>I think it would be great if you could add a feature to choose to encode certain form/fields when creating a form. It would make my life much easier. </p> <p>Is it possible to encrypt the data? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/encrypt-data-how-to-do-this-and-how-does-affect-retrieval-of-data#post-72887 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 08:56:43 +0000 Chris Hajer 72887@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think you want to use these two filters:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_save_field_value" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_save_field_value</a><br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_get_input_value" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_get_input_value</a></p> <p>Note that the example there is for encoding, not encrypting, the data. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/encrypt-data-how-to-do-this-and-how-does-affect-retrieval-of-data#post-72869 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 06:07:20 +0000 hkim 72869@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have searched the forum for this topic but still don't get everything. So I would be very thankful for an easy do-this-guide. </p> <p>I have a form that contains sensitive data that I want to encrypt in the database. However, I also need to access this data easily from my side. How does encryption affect the retrieval of data from the control panel? </p>
