Dev Diary for an Online Game

This has been a long project to develop a data driven game. Initially I wanted to the able to enter the game data using a website developed using CakePHP. The game itself would be developed in Unity 3D using the exported data. However this has now changed to the entire game being developed using CakePHP.. The posts that I've made are for things that I found difficult to solve and I've put them here for my own future reference. They are also for anyone else who might find them useful.

How to stop an Input field being submitted when it loses focus

The Problem:
In Unity the default behaviour of an input field when it loses focus is to fire the OnEndEdit event.

Solution:
If you don't want this to happen - at the start of the method that is called by OnEndEdit check to see if the enter key is being pressed and return without doing anything is it isn't.

Eg:

if (!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Return))
  return;
