Does XPDO validate fromArray methods?

So I have...

$store = $modx->newObject('sfStock');
$store->fromArray(array(
    'catid' => $formFields['catid'],
    'title' => $formFields['title']...etc.

Which is putting fields from a user submitted form into a database table. Thing is it seems to be removing html tags (<b>, <i> etc.) which for some fields I need as I’m giving the user the option of formatting textarea inputs with a wysiwyg text editor.

I removed all the validation from my own code and still get this problem so I am wondering if xPDO is doing something I don’t know about.

edit: Does a varchar mySQL field type strip these tags out? If so that may be my problem.

fromArray() definitely does not strip anything from the fields. Validation in MODx is configured to occur on save() of the objects from the modx model. I do not believe MySQL will strip them either. I’m not sure what your issue could be, but I do not believe the problem is in the xPDO layer.

Ok thank you.

In that case it might be a problem with the formit snippet I’m using. Could you tell me if this is wrong?

[[!FormIt?
&hooks=`addStock` &validate=`description:allowTags` ]]

description is a textarea which is given both the name and id: ’description’

You might have better luck directing this to the FormIt support forums. Sorry, I have very little experience with that Add-On atm.
