Hi there,

This might seem like a stupid question but i can’t figure it out, so i might as well post it. Here’s what I’m trying to do .

I’m creating a TV drop down, which uses a @SELECT statement to get other documents.

1) Is there a way to add a blank entry to the Drop Down List in case there I don’t want to link it.

2) Is there a simple way when it comes to displaying my page to get the longtitle from the document linked by the Drop down? ie: If document 1 has a link to document 2 in the drop down list, can I display the longtitle of document 2 on document 1?

Thanks.

Hi,

1/change in tmpvars.inc.php (in manager/includes)
Around Line #67

<?php

$index_list = ParseIntputOptions(ProcessTVCommand($field_elements, $field_name));
//=> add the following line
$field_html.= '<option value=""'.($field_value=='' ?' selected="selected"':'').'> - </option>';//this one
while (list($item, $itemvalue) = each ($index_list))

2/ Use the getField snippet

[[getFied? &docId=`[*name_of_the_tv*]` &field=`longtitle` ]]
