ftType UUID select option

[ghoti143]

Does anyone know of an easy way to use formtools to populate a drop down with
the label fields of the component specified by the ftJoin attribute?
Instead of using the default library to specify my one to one relationship,
I just want to display a drop down.

I'm assuming I'll need to write a custom function....any pointers on where
to start?

Thanks,

Mike

Put in a feature request for a rendertype of dropdown for the UUID
formtool.

In the meantime, you might try using fttype="list" and using the
ftlistdata attribute to nominate your own query of object data.

Geoff,

Apparently you guys have already written a case statement for this...at
least it's in 4-0-3(1673). ftType="UUID" ftRenderType="list" and
ftShowLibraryLink="false" gets me exactly what I need. Now I'm trying
to figure out how to get the select multiple working on a
ftType="array"....it's saying that no options are available.

Thanks,
Mike

@Mike,

Did you ever find a solution to the multi-select list box? I'm having
the same issue with the "No options available" showing up even though
the Library shows the options.

@Brian,

I did find a solution. There was a bug with the core code. See this
bug report for further information:
http://bugs.farcrycms.org:8080/browse/FC-969

I have attached a fixed cfc file to the report.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Mike
