If anybody is interested in that thread, solution 1 and 2 proposed by
Nate don't work because merging two arrays recursively returns
something like this;
[code]
Array
(
[Article] => Array
(
[id] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 1
)
[title] => Array
(
[0] => This is some MODIFIED title
[1] => This is some title
[/code]
The last solution does work, but requires a fair bit of time to
implement and make creating a new virtual field a pain.
I'll keep looking into it!
Cheers,
Seb.
