Also, the way i would have done it would be to make a new plugin, not modify the original. It would make the code _much_ simpler, and it would also make it much easier to upgrade. In this situation, inheritence can really work for you and you would only need to overload the prepForDb (IIRC) method. Take a look at the dbdropdown plugin for an example.
