Custom Element to do a dropdown vs dropdown element

Hello everybody!!!

I have a question…

I read the next link to do a dropdown by a custom element…

http://greyhead.net/chronoforms/using-php-to-create-select-dropdowns

because this is the answer to a question about the dropdown element:

http://chronoengine.com/forum/index.php?f=2&t=25114&start=0&rb_v=viewtopic

I don’t understand the dynamic data tab of the dropdown element. I think that it need to do a reference to dbmultirecordloader but I’m not sure.

Do you know what is the right configuration for the dropdown element?

And the last question is... what is better?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

The dynamic dropdown option in the select element is new, I suggest using it because it will save your time since you will not need to write any code, and yes, you will need to use a "DB Multi record loader" or you will need to have a similar data source to feed the dropdown.
