Values of hidden fields are posted

I've set up some conditional category select fields:

1: Select type A or B

show only if type=A: 2: Select category type 1

show only if type=B: 3: Select category type 2

The user interface works great, but I find that values of hidden category select fields are posted and stored, which can potentially leave 'dirty' information in my database.

A scenario to recreate this:

- Select type A
- Field 2 is shown, select a category
- Select type B
- Field 2 is hidden, field 3 is shown. Select a category
- Submit the form

Now values for both field 1,2 and 3 are submitted and stored.

Thanks!

Hi Carl,

I didn't have time to look into this until now. After diving into the code, I did find that all post category information is saved, regardless of it's display state (as a result of conditional logic).

In the file forms_model.php in the function get_post_fields(), I inserted the following code right before the switch statement to check if the field should be saved or not, and things work fine now.

if( RGFormsModel::is_field_hidden($form, $field, array()) ) {
	break;
}

switch($field["type"]){

Can you verify is this is a correct solution and if so, include it in the next release?

Cheers,

Bart
