Hi at all!

What I try to achieve is:

A drop down field in RS forms, that displays FC values of one field as <option> of one specific category.

Maybe someone has a code template ready or at least could lead me to the solution.

Thank you in advance!!

Im using latest joomla and latest Flexicontent

hello maybe you can execute a sql query in rsform field ?

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

I found out, that I can place php code directly inside the "items" administrator drop down field.
So instead of hardcoding every "item" in backend, i can use php and sql query.

Example code is this:
Code:
//<code> // Prepare the empty array $items = array(); // Prepare the database connection $db = JFactory::getDbo(); // Keep this if you'd like a "Please select" option, otherwise comment or remove it $items[] = "|Please Select[c]"; // Run the SQL query and store it in $results $db->setQuery("SELECT your_value, your_label FROM #__your_table"); $results = $db->loadObjectList(); // Now, we need to convert the results into a readable RSForm! Pro format. // The Items field will accept values in this format: // value-to-be-stored|value-to-be-shown // Eg. m|M-sized T-shirt foreach ($results as $result) { $value = $result->your_value; $label = $result->your_label; $items[] = $value.'|'.$label; } // Multiple values are separated by new lines, so we need to do this now $items = implode("\n", $items); // Now we need to return the value to the field return $items; //</code>

But i don't know how to get my desired field, like category ID 8, field ID 13..

you need to check
$db->setQuery("SELECT your_value, your_label FROM #__your_table"); and db table in your site
#_flexicontent_fields (field description)
#_flexicontent_item_ext (relation joomla content id)
#_flexicontent_fields_item_relations (value in field in relation with item
