Seems like it's probably something small we need to do to make this work. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/setting-post_data-value-to-an-array#post-150325 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:00:57 +0000 j3ph 150325@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sorry for the slow response. For some reason I didn't receive an email notification about your posting.</p> <p>That is exactly correct. Sorry for the unclear posting earlier. Here's an example of how the value should look:<br /> <a href="http://prntscr.com/td7is" rel="nofollow">http://prntscr.com/td7is</a></p> <p>Thanks for your help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/setting-post_data-value-to-an-array#post-148865 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 01:19:40 +0000 Chris Hajer 148865@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sounds like you want to store the array literally in a custom field called _DURATION. What should that value look like in the post_meta table? (do you have examples of values already stored there correctly?) I assume some other plugin or function needs the data in that format to function properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/setting-post_data-value-to-an-array#post-147353 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:11:26 +0000 j3ph 147353@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Guys,<br /> I'm sure I'm doing this wrong, but I'm stuck. </p> <p>I'm using pre_submission_filter to change the value of a hidden field to an array. </p> <pre><code>$time = array( &#39;hours&#39; =&gt; 2); $post_data[&#39;post_custom_fields&#39;][&#39;_DURATION&#39;] = $time;</code></pre> <p>The problem is if I don't serialize the $time then _DURATION is set to 2 (the value of the first key in $time). If I do serialize $time then _DURATION is set to s:26;"a:1:{5:"hours;s:1"2";}"; (a serialized string of my serialized array :)</p> <p>Like I said, I'm sure I'm doing something really really wrong here, but I'm going mad trying to figure this one out.</p> <p>Can anyone help? </p>
