Display Label of Enum Value 23 Nov 2016 11:36 #14728

Hi Everyone,
From inside my forked grid view I would like to echo the Label of an Enum field (given its value). Essentually I am trying to create a grid column with the Enum Value displayed, but the Enum Label as hover text.

In my code below "Hello" needs to be replaced with the Enum Label. $row->validation just gives me the enum value.
<?php 
	$data = "<span class='hasPopover' data-content='Hello' data-placement='left'>".$row->validation."</span>";
	echo JDom::_('html.fly', array(
	'dataValue' => $data
));?>
On another generic question... is there a website about that explains JDom? What are the JDOM arguments/syntax? How do we actually modifiy it? Which folder it is stored? I find the JCook Docs on JDOM unclear.
Just call me Chris :)

I am gonna work about the whole documentation of Cook this winter.

For getting the item of an enumeration, just get access to it with the index.
$list = XxxxHelperEnum::_('table_validation');
$item = $list[$row->validation];
$myLabel = $item['text'];

Or another way in line:
$myLabel = XxxxHelperEnum::_('table_validation')[$row->validation]['text'];

I think I should write some more code in the enumeration helper to access and work with the lists.
Getting the item by value
Getting the text

EDIT : It would had the advantage to handle basic errors because the code I give to you is raw. It do not prevents in case the value is empty, or the item not found in the list.

NEW UPGRADE

In the continuity of the enumerations feature, I modified the helper source code.
Now it is possible to achieve easily with :
$myLabel = XxxxHelperEnum::text('table_validation', $row->validation);

And for the whole item (array, not object):
$myItem = XxxxHelperEnum::item('table_validation', $row->validation);

The system is open for unlimited forks and now works in an instanced way. (Advanced customs)

I will explain widely all the code features in the documentations. For the moment, you can use easily for the basics.

Thanks Chef!

I haven't got it working yet - it is returning nothing for me at the moment.

Regarding "table_validation" - is that the table name in which the enum is inside? For me, my "validation" enum field is inside a table called "devices" - so should that be "table_devices"?

Should be :
devices_validation

The function in the Helper is called '___devices_validation' and appears at the top of the class file.

Thanks Chef,
that make sence - I didn't try that :P

This works nicely for me in fork/views/devices/tmpl/default_grid.php ...
$myLabel = XxxxHelperEnum::_('devices_validation')[$row->validation]['text'];

But just so you know, this comes up empty for me ...
$myLabel = XxxxHelperEnum::text('devices_validation', $row->validation);
