The ‘Company’ dropdown list is currently pointing at an SQL database which holds only a portion of the data that I require. The site is currently linked to an XML web service which holds all of the data that I need, but I cannot get this particular field - the ‘Company’ dropdown - to point at it.
I am only just finding my feet with this framework, hence my query. Does anyone know where I would set the target source for the dropdown list to look at the XML service instead of the SQL? As mentioned, I know that the XML is functioning because it is pulling the data in another part of the site.
Without looking too deep into it, I’d suggest you read the contents of the xml file into an array, then create a fresh array based on your required values, something like:
$list = array();
$xmlValue = array(1,2,3);// your xml fields
foreach($xmlValue as $key=>$value)
{
$list[$key] = $value;
}
return $list;
