The options for the Continent Country custom field were taken from the database as well. The following scripts are used in this example:
ContinentCountry data source
| Code Block |
|---|
string[] continents = sql("myDBreturn {"Romania", "France", "Norway", "select distinct continent from countries"); return continents; |
Spain"}; |
Letters data source
| Code Block |
|---|
string[] continentletters = argv["customfield_10109"]; //the dependent field string[] countries = sql("myDB", "select country from countries where continent = '" + continent + "'"); return countries; |
| Note |
For the moment, dependent fields can only be used by the two custom fields with autocomplete. From Power Custom Fields PRO 4.0.0, you can now use the dependent fields on SQL data sources as well. In order to get the value set on the screen for one custom field, reference it like this: "argv[customfield_id]".{};
string cfname="Country";
for(int i=0; i<length(argv[cfname]); ++i) {
letters += argv[cfname][i];
}
return letters; |
