function _rolereference_potential_references in Role Reference 6

Fetch an array of all candidate referenced roles.

This info is used in various places (allowed values, autocomplete results, input validation...). Some of them only need the rids, others rid + names, others yet rid + names + rendered row (for display in widgets). The array we return contains all the potentially needed information, and lets consumers use the parts they actually need.

Parameters

$field: The field description.

$string: Optional string to filter titles on (used by autocomplete).

$match: Operator to match filtered name against, can be any of: 'contains', 'equals', 'starts_with'

$ids: Optional role ids to lookup (the $string and $match arguments will be ignored).

$limit: If non-zero, limit the size of the result set.

Return value

An array of valid roles in the form: array( rid => array( 'name' => The role name, 'rendered' => The text to display in widgets (can be HTML) ), ... )
