What, exactly, is the dataformat field for, in the mdl_user_info_data table? I've played around with different settings for the custom user profile fields, and cannot get the values to change, no matter what I do. I've created 4 text fields, three of which show a dataformat of '1' and one shows a value of '0.'
Thanks, in advance!
If it's text, then it refers to one of these values...
/**
* Does all sorts of transformations and filtering.
*/
define('FORMAT_MOODLE', '0');
/**
* Plain HTML (with some tags stripped).
*/
define('FORMAT_HTML', '1');
/**
* Plain text (even tags are printed in full).
*/
define('FORMAT_PLAIN', '2');
/**
* Wiki-formatted text.
* Deprecated: left here just to note that '3' is not used (at the moment)
* and to catch any latent wiki-like text (which generates an error)
* @deprecated since 2005!
*/
define('FORMAT_WIKI', '3');
/**
* Markdown-formatted text http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
*/
define('FORMAT_MARKDOWN', '4');
Thanks for that, Howard!
Actually, Howard, I think you're referring to the descriptionformat field of the mdl_user_info_field table. I'm referring to the dataformat field of the mdl_user_info_data table.
The image shows 3 records from one of my "other fields." Fieldid 6 is a text field. All three records have the same content, "xyz" (for testing purposes), and yet only one of the records has a dataformat of 1.
The reason this is even coming up is because I'm testing the local_profilecohort and enrol_elediacohortgreeting plugins and the two records with a dataformat of 0 are not being handled as I would expect them to be.
One other thing I'm noticing is that, in the mdl_user_info_data table, all records for fieldid=6 up to id=11619 have a dataformat value of 1 and all records after that gave a dataformat value of 0. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened at that point to change the dataformat value.
