pdb-before_submit_update change in 1.6?

    I’ve been fighting a number of web site email issues, and now have record update notification emails working again. In those emails, I am displaying a number of fields from the record, including “updated_by”, which is filled out with the following function: 

    function update_user($post) {

   global $current_user;
   $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
   $post['updated_by'] = $current_user->user_login;

return $post;
}

add_filter('pdb-before_submit_update','update_user');

    As of 1.6, this field is blank in the record update notification email, although it is properly filled out in the actual entry. Has something changed in 1.6, and is there a better place for me to hang my function off of?

    Mahalo for a great plugin!

    I don’t see a difference that would account for what you’re seeing. That filter happens before the data is submitted, while the email notification happens after the data is stored and the user has returned to the form or to the thanks page. So there’s no way the order could have changed so the filter is happening after the notification.

    So…the “user_login” value is saved with the record, but doesn’t show up in the notification email? I’ll have to test this and see if I can reproduce it.

    OK, looks like there is a bug. Here’s how you fix it:

    in the file PDb_FormElement.class.php on line 314, find:

    if ($field->value === $field->default) {
       $field->value = '';
 } elseif (!Participants_Db::is_dynamic_value($field->default)) {
     	$field->value = $field->default;
 }

    change that to:

    if (strlen( $field->value ) === 0 && !Participants_Db::is_dynamic_value($field->default)) {
	$field->value = $field->default;
 }

    Worked like a charm, Mahalo!
