Hi Anne,

If you simply want to display a list then no need to use CFv5 here, just use CCv5 and use the "Frontend view" link, we have few tutorials on the FAQs section!

What I try to achieve here is to show the DB list (some sort of event list) in a form for users to check one or two events, add their name, address, and more data and submit the filled form.

Am I on the right track?

how "check one or 2 events" ? you mean open them ?

If yes then you can just use the default connection view and link your list items to your form.

No, not open them.
I mean check items as in checkbox group (1 checkbox group = 1 event item = 1 record of the database)
finalize the form and submit it and load the data from the from in another database.

If you want to have a list of checkboxes based on a list of records in your table then you only need to use the "Dynamic data" section under the checkboxes group settings, this should generate a list based on whatever data source you have!

You will need a "db read" action before the "html" action in order to load the list of records first.

Under "Designer" tab I put a checkbox group element to my form and enabled Dynamic Data

Under "Setup" tab i dragged the DB Read action and configured it

But the output is empty:

What do I do wrong?

Hi Anne,

Good, now the "data path" should have "Data", because this is the model id you have used, and both the "value key" and "text key" should have fields names, like "sport" for example, this will control the checkboxes texts and values!

Oooh yes! 😀
That works.

What should I do to show the whole record:
For example:
sport AND aanbieder AND evenement

(all in one line = one choice)

Hi Anne,

For this to work, you will need to merge the values first in a new PHP array under a new path then use it instead, just a PHP loop

Regards,
Max

Hi Max,

You mean outside CF merge the values (field of database), save under another path (= another source, being database of XLS-sheet)?

I wouldn't know how to merge values using PHP Loop.

Anne

Hi Anne,

I thought you mean to just change the "format" of the text in the dropdown ? you want to have a composite text from multiple table fields, correct ?

Regards,
Max

Yes, I want to display the choices in checkbox group to be like this (replaced by the values/variables)

 sport - aanbieder - evenement

I tried to set value key and text key on the Dynamic tab on "sport,aanbieder,evenement" but that is not the solution because no choices are shown in form at FE.
So, this doesn't work.

I placed Custom Code with the PHP code (plus end-tag ?>) and under tab Designer I changed "value key" and "text key" to "combo"
Saved form

And ... Yes! That works perfectly. 🙂

Thank you
