I'm not sure when I'll have time to look at this properly, but I thought I'd highlight this as an issue.

Events and Contribution pages both use code to display the values of fields in a profile, on confirmation pages. They eventually perform exactly the same thing, but do it in two different ways. This seems like unnecessary duplication and leads to odd issues (like CRM-18013) that appear in one case, but not the other.

Events go via: CRM_Event_BAO_Event::displayProfile
Contribution pages go via: CRM_Core_BAO_UFGroup::getValues

Presumably the function used in events should be altered to make better use of existing functionality in CRM_Core_BAO?

Or is this sort of thing part of the 'flexible forms' roadmap for v5?
