[SOLVED] Select in HelperForm

[gr4devel]

Hi community .

I'm trying to reimplement my modules backoffice utilizing the new Helper functions of PS 1.5.

I've read the documentation but still I have to get used to these functions and their parameters and in particular to the ones pertaining to the select box options.

I can't get the right values displayed in the select box options.

The $features variable is just an array or array in which the inner one (i.e. the row) is composed by many fields and "id_feature" is one of them.

Actually I want to use this last as the value and the "name" field as the text of the option.

 

$fields_form[0]['form'] = array(
  'legend' => array(
	'title' => $this->l('Settings'),
	'image' => $this->_path.'logo.gif'
  ),
  'input' => array(
	array(
	  'type' => 'select',
	  'label' => $this->l('My field:'),
	  'name' => 'myfield',
	  'required' => true,
	  'options' => array(
		'query' => $features,
		'id' => 'id_feature'
	  )
	)
  ),
  'submit' => array(
	'title' => $this->l('Save'),
	'class' => 'button'
  )
);

 

Thanks in advance to anyone would help me .

Ok I was able to get what I need by adding to the 'options' array the 'name' entry and associating it with the actual field of the $features array (i.e. 'name').

Here's just the bit of code that I've changed:

 

  'input' => array(
	array(
	  'type' => 'select',
	  'label' => $this->l('Product vintage feature:'),
	  'name' => 'vintageFeature',
	  'required' => true,
	  'options' => array(
		'query' => $features,
		'id' => 'id_feature',
		'name' => 'name'
	  )
	)
  ),

 

Sorry for the bother and hopes that this will help someone who face the same problem .

Anyone has a work around?

Here is the solution for selected value (I continue the example above):

 

$this->fields_value['vintageFeature'] = $default_id_feature; 
// Here: 
// 'vintageFeature' is the 'name' of your input
// $default_id_feature is the 'id' of the default value
