Curly brackets in custom listing not working?

jj135 23 Mar, 2012
Hi!. I made a connection tot a table that stores form input. I want to show the table data on the frontend. When I go to the 'Frontend List Settings' and set Auto Listing to YES the data is shown in a (wide) table. So I guess the connection is made OK. Now I want to format the output myself and I set the Auto listing to NO. But the values I add to the body (Under 'custom listings') with curly brackets are not shown. (for example {naam}). IN stead of showing the value of this field the frontend shows the curly brackets. It's like a Joomla Plugin that's not working... But there i no Plugin for ChronoConnectivity?

Or should I use a different way to get the values to show in the frontend.

Joomla 1.5.25
Chrono Connectivity 4.0 RC1

Thanks!

Hi jj135,

It looks to me as if this release is pretty buggy :-( I think I posted a fix for this particular one a week or so back.

OK, thanks for your reply. Can you point me in the right direction to the fix? Or should I wait for an update?

Hi jj135,

It was this thread I think - looks as though curly brackets worked OK for me.

OK thanks! I managed to get the data on the fronten with

<?php echo $x_data['fieldame']; ?>


So now I can get what I want. But is this going to be on a bug list? The curley brackets are easiers to use :wink:

Anyway, thanks for your help again!

Hi,

Did you add a "Model ID" ? if yes then you should use this formula instead:

{MODEL_ID.fieldname}


If not then this should work:
{fieldname}


A new release is almost ready.

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

Hi,
With the new release of CC (V4 RC2) the curly brackets are working. Thanks!
