Hi folks

In tmpl/edit.php I have:

        echo '<label>Create PDF</label>';
        echo '<select id="json_options2_create_select" name="json[options2][create_select]" class="inputbox select has-value">
                  <option value="0" selected="selected">Never</option>
                  <option value="3">Always</option>
                  <optgroup label="Workflow">
                      <option value="1">Add</option>
                      <option value="2">Edit</option>
                  </optgroup>
              </select>';

Should I really create the fields so that they exist in #__cck_core_fields... and call them like this:

        echo JCckDev::renderForm( 'core_options_html', '', $config, array( 'rows'=>8, 'required'=>'required', 'storage_field'=>'html' ), array(), 'w100' );
  • I am creating a plugin.
  • I have options for the plugin, i.e. Create: Never, Always, Edit, Add.
  • I can save them in the db in options2
  • but when I refresh the page they do not show, the fields are empty.
  • Do I first need to have the options created as fields and therefore stored in DB i.e. select simples, texts, etc....
  • ... and then use those fields for the options in my plugin?

Hi, not sure what you are doing exactly, but you can use developer addon to crate plugin skeleton for you. Than add you code to it and add necessary changes and - install plugin. Without installation and activation your plugin won't be visible. Once it is activate your code changes should be reflected in the output.
