I figured you'd need to do something with the data to convert it back, so if you are forwarding the notifications for processing, and can convert the value there, that's great. Glad we got that working. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/input-on-single-line-text-is-cut-off-after#post-40570 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 08:10:01 +0000 pstonier 40570@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No worries.

It was a lot of work to get it to work here with three separate functions. Looking at it again with fresh eyes, it would probably not be too bad to change it in the notification. I didn't know if you sent it or needed to send it in the notification, so I didn't spend any time on it. I was happy to bring it this far :-) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/input-on-single-line-text-is-cut-off-after#post-40521 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:57:39 +0000 pstonier 40521@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If it's going to be time consuming/difficult, we can work with this as is. The application that will read the email can be written to convert the hex back.</p> <p>Thanks again, guys.

If not, bad things will happen.</p> <p>You're putting the code in the correct file.</p> <p>Are you sure the field ID and form ID are both correct, on all lines? Mine was form 60 and field 4, and I see that in the code you pasted, but I doubt those are your values. They would need to be changed to match your form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/input-on-single-line-text-is-cut-off-after#post-40254 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:02:00 +0000 pstonier 40254@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm thinking that I must be applying the filter incorrectly.</p> <p>I did some further testing and it always worked like this…</p> <p>when I input "21782&lt;wjk&amp;*&gt;/dwd",<br /> it returns "21782/dwd"</p> <p>and when I input "21782&lt;wjk&amp;9jjijk",<br /> it returns "21782"</p> <p>So the first filter didn't seem to affect anything either–therefore, I'm probably applying the filter incorrectly.</p> <p>The functions.php file that I'm pasting the code into is root/wp-content/themes/current_theme/functions.php.
