Hi world ;)

I try to write a small custom plugin modul that shoul show a dropdown-box.

I already managed it to write the xml-document with a field to insert <option value=" ">" but in the php file i don't manage it to write a select box who STORES the datas in the virtuemart_product_customfields - custom param
I can make it work in a "'.VmHTML::row('input',......
but not in the    '.VmHTML::select('select'.....

If someone can help me it would be very glad

thx

u can download mine, and see the code for an example

http://www.kaizenmediaworks.com/virtuemart-2-0-custom-field-dropbox-plugin

I already had a look but wasn't able to do that.
How i sad: i'm able to write a input-field who save the datas in the field, but if i write the select drop-down like this it doesn't store the datas.
The different is between our plugins is my drop-down is in the backend.

If somebody can have a look it woul be very gorgeous.
thx

have you tried the "is a list"

Option in the custom field?

In the "default"

U can separate them with   ;     and it will make a dropdown list for you


Default     This;Makes;List

on my goodness ;)

And i thought i tried every standart custom field. Made myself a lot of work for nothing ;)

great thanks for your reply, your my hero of the month ^^


And here a small other question just to make sure i don't oversight an other function.
Is it possible to create an other checkbox field for the sortby - order by product - tab without a hack?
-> i mean for example sort by "custom-field"

Thanks a lot
