I'm trying to write my own plugin, and i'd like to have it allow text fields that don't exist in the database. I'm not completely sure how to go about this though since it seems like ce requires that the field be in the database. Then i'd take that input and use it during the insert to process data.
I have a couple of concerns:
1) how do i stop ce from handling the insert? I know there's the pre and post insert functions that i can overload, but do i need to tell ce to let me handle the insert all by myself?
2) for my overloaded pre or post insert functions, can i get access to all of the fields that have been submitted? I want to use a few of them to do some data processing before the insert

Well, i think i have some missing pieces in my understanding of the code extinguisher process. It would be very much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you!
