Joomla User field does not display as select box 27 Aug 2012 05:15 #3305

Hi

I'm using a Joomla User field in my component to display a users select box, but it is displayed as input text field in both the frontend and backend!

Any help?

When you instance it in the form, open the node (in the fields tree), and choose a sub-level field (ex: username, name, etc...) It will determine which field data to show in the select.

If you don't, Cook cannot know wich data you want to show.
Coding is now a piece of cake

Thanks a lot

I did it like you say, but it was not work.

I have deleted the field and added it again and it works now.

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
