Access DB Record Loader field in custom code element

markhayes 13 Mar, 2012
Hi,

A newbie question here. I am loading data via the DB Recorder Field. Instead of loading into TextBox where a user can change the value, I want to do 1 of two things

1) Can you make the textbox field a display only field.
2) Can I display the data in a custom element field instead. I have tried code like

<?php
echo $CreateOffer[ProductName];
?>

but it ain't working for me! Any help out there?

Thanks

Hi Mark,

I can't understand #1, but if your field name matches the value path in the form data array then it should be auto filled, e.g: if the data returned under $form->data['data'] then a field with name="data" will be filled, also, if your data is returned under $form->data['data']['sub'] (this is the case when you have a Model ID, then your field name should be: data[sub]

#2- use
<?php echo $form->data['data']; ?>


You can use the "Debugger" action to display a list of all the data returned in the form->data array.
