Field type referring to all values of another section

Hi Kristof

Sorry for the late reply. Can I just confirm - you're talking about two separate fields here? It's not possible to create just one that lists the names and also allows you to record a comment.

If you mean two fields, I can explain how that works.

Hi Claire,

I mean a FieldType that permits me to choose a product that was created in another section (for example, by a list that displays me al the options) and therby I can add a comment (in a textfield for example).
There are maybe some different workaround or another solution that does what I want ... so shoot.

Regards.

Hi Kristof

The easiest way to do this is add a list type field. See the info here: http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/field_list.html

Create your field, choose the list type, then look at this option: Get options from database (advanced)

That will let you choose the table to get the info from, then set the option value (usually the row number, a.k.a. num) and the option label (usually the name). The default list is a dropdown, if I recall right, but you can change it if you need to.

Then you just add the text area underneath it for the comment and you're done.

Does this sound like what you're looking for?
