Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Thank you for providing an encryption API!
It would be very beneficial if there were a couple examples in your documentation that went deeper. I understand this is an API that can be used a thousand different ways, but having a small pool of examples would help a ton.
Examples could be, how to encrypt a specific field in your database, Or how to encrypt all of your email addresses in your database. I really think specific use case scenarios would help get more of the community members involved in using and developing this module or sub modules.
- From what I've gathered so far, I need to create my own module (code examples to pull from here would be huge, or links to tutorials).
- Which requires a general understanding of using drupal hooks and writing PHP (pointing people to specific tutorial sites would help).
- And then double check everything is working by actually viewing the encrypted data in my database (if this isn't said people like me might just assume it's happening).
*I'm a themer, and just looking for a little help while providing my experience as a resource to others*
Thank you!

gregglesI don't really plan to write a lot more documentation for this module. I think the existing documentation (written by previous maintainers, and I'm very thankful for that) is pretty good.
Writing a module is something that is documented well in a lot of other places. Writing PHP and learning hooks is documented well in a lot of other places. Specifically I really like http://buildamodule.com/
Double checking that everything is actually working...hard to say for sure that it's working. If you look at the stored information and it looks like gibberish then I'd say you've got it right ;)
Marking this as a "fixed support request." I would be very happy if someone wanted to contribute documentation but I don't see it as the highest priority for now. If someone does want to provide documentation, please go for it and mark this issue back to an active feature so I can add a link to it on the project page.
