How to get block configuration values

How to get block configuration values

Hi,

I'm trying to catch some values stored in block configuration so I can store it in the database as separate and make available out of block configuration.

I added form element in 

protected function specific_definition($mform) {
....
$defaults = array('yes'=>'yes', 'no'=>'no');
		$mform->addElement('select', 'config_studentmobileaccess', get_string('studentsmobileaccess', 'block_morph'), $defaults);
		$mform->setDefault('config_studentmobileaccess', 'default');

I tried to overload function set_data like this

function set_data($defaults) {
parent::set_data($defaults);
$val1=$defaults->config_studentmobileaccess
$val2=json_encode($this->block->config)


Both values val1 and val2 shows reads old values from the form. Could somebody explain how to get new values inserted into the form?


Thanks,

Zoran

Defaults are one thing and values are something else. You can have a text field with default set to one value and user can enter something different which would change the value.

So if you are looking for a submitted value you can use:

$fieldvalue = $this->_form->getSubmitValue('fieldname');


Of course if you had something else in mind please clarify.
