Hi @admin,

Thanks for the response but it's not working for me!

<%title%> (<%alias%>)

Just to clarify, is the only element that should be passed 'labelKey' => '<%title%> (<%alias%>)' or 'labelKey' => '{title} ({alias})' because, with the code

<?php echo JDom::_('html.fly', array(
	'dataKey' => '_finish_title',
	'dataObject' => $row,
	'labelKey' => '<%title%> (<%alias%>)',
	'link_title' => $row->_finish_title,
	'route' => array('view' => 'finish','layout' => 'finish','cid[]' => $row->finish)
));?>

It is not working.

Thanks,

Gez

I've rebuilt my component since you just did maintenance and am just about to retest it with new updated code. Will let you know in a couple of mins... Thanks, Gez

Don't know what was happening but now it just works! $field = $fieldSet['jform_section']; $field->jdomOptions = array( 'list' => $this->lists['fk']['section'], 'labelKey' = '{title} {alias}' ); It's not working at all in the combo Thanks, G

JoomGuy Offline Moderator Joomla Enthusiast, Lover of Cooking Posts: 1115 Thank you received: 195 Karma: 64	Sorry to bother you again Jocelyn, I just wondered how to handle adding additional related fields when using ajax combo and groupby? Could you please demonstrate? Here's the jDom code for my Category field: // Category $field = $fieldSet['jform_category']; $field->jdomOptions = array( 'ajaxVars' => array('values' => array( $this->item->category)) ); many thanks, Gez

This is great been trying to get two fields in the combo box for several days now and solved by reading this post

I can't get the grid to work This is the code with just a surname in

<?php echo JDom::_('html.fly', array(
												'dataKey' => '_race_officer_surname_surname',
                                                                                               	'dataObject' => $row
												));
				?>

Should I be using the following

<?php echo JDom::_('html.fly', array(
					'labelKey' => '{ _race_officer_forename_forename} { _race_officer_surname_surname}',
                                                                                               	'dataObject' => $row
												));
				?>

Or is it

<?php echo JDom::_('html.fly', array(
					'labelKey' => '{forename} {surname}',
                                     	'dataObject' => $row
												));
				?>

JoomGuy Offline Moderator Joomla Enthusiast, Lover of Cooking Posts: 1115 Thank you received: 195 Karma: 64	Hi there, use dataKey instead of labelKey in your last example like; <?php echo JDom::_('html.fly', array( 'dataKey' => '{forename} {surname}', 'dataObject' => $row )); ?> Hope it helps! Gez PS I'm glad it wasn't only me baffled by this

Apologies for being dumb here, I am still new to cook book but still can't it to work in the grid.
Here is the code I am using

<?php           echo JDom::_('html.fly', array(
				'dataKey' => '{forename} {surname}',
				'dataObject' => $row
				));
				?>

The field in the grid just shows blank

Do I need to do anything else, somewhere else in the code?

I notice one of the earlier posts mentioned the XML forms, but the code that cookbook generated doesn't have any XML forms other than access config and the install file. I have tried building the project using different configurations but still no success.

Thanks for your help
