Dynamic value for select field type

Hi,
First of ... I like your component (viForms) a lot ...
Then for my question/problem:
In a previous version of the component I made a "dynamic select" where the data for the options from the select were dynamically generated based on values in a table somewhere ...
this was done by adding a fixed option and replacing part of that option with the other options ... let me elaborate
the option that was entered looked like this : {MORE}||somevaluethatisallwaysthere
in this option some code changed the value of {MORE} into Option1||Option1 ; Option2||Option2 ; somevaluethatisallwaysthere (this was done in the HTML so it is a bit more complex than is shown here ... all the right code parts were added as well)
that way the form was correct and it worked ...
until I did an update of the viForms component a short while back ... all of a sudden the form could not be validated. I guess because the value that was chosen is not a value that was entered as an original value ...

Is there a way to get this working again ? (by either disabling this check or by being able to create a dynamical list from an SQL or something like that)

Hi,

hu. The format and the creation of selects has changed fundamentally in Visforms 3.2.0.
So you are no longer able of creating a "dummy" option like "{MORE}, because I already check in the field configuration, that each option has a label and a value.

But I also included an event system that allows you to create custom plugins for Visforms. There is an Event onVisformsBeforeHtmlPrepare(com_visforms.field', &$field, $layout) and an event onVisformsAfterHtmlPrepare(com_visforms.field', &$field, &$html, $layout) which you might use to implement you custom code. (Plugin group is "visforms").
