Modifying user input before using cURL pluging

Hi,

I'm trying to modify the user's input before sending the data to an external server using the cURL plugin, but I don't understand how to do it. I have set-up the cURL plugin with addresses and such, but I don't succeed in modifying the value.

I have created a form with an input field 'number' and I would like to add international prefix to it before posting it to an external server.
User input: 0701234567
Modified value: 0046701234567
Where and how do I do this? Please, include example.

Thanks in advance
/Henrik

Ps. Thanks for Chronoforms, really excellent!

Hi Henrik,

You can change it using PHP in the Plug-in Extra before cURL code box

<?php
$number = JRequest::getString('input_name', '', 'post');
if ( $number ) {
  $number = '004'.substring($number, 1);
}
JRequest::setVar('input_name', $number);
?>

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the valuable hint. Unfortunately, I do not understand where exactly I can find "Plug-in Extra before cURL code box"?

Do you mean "Extra Code" area on the "Form Code" tab by that?

Would be great if you could give a more precise explanation where to find that box.

Many thanks for your helpful support.

Hi Oliver,

When you open the Plug-in Configuration there is an 'Extra code' tab; use the "Extra before CURL code" box there.
