Hello CB Community,
I am currently developing a CB plugin to add a new fieldtype in the field management. It's a special singel select dropdown field in which the value is different to the displayed name:
[code:1]<option value="2009-ss">SS 2009</option>[/code:1]
The plugin is based on the
CBfield_select_multi_radio class which I extended.
I can install my plugin succesfully, enable it, and create a new field where I can chose my field (semfield). The field is correctly added in the jos_comprofiler and the jos_comprofiler_fields table.
Unfortunately, it's not working properly. I have the following errors for which I can't find a solution:
1) The created field does not appear in the user management so no data can be filled in.
2) When opening the tab user management I get the following php errors
a)
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /.../administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.class.php on line 2445
and
b)
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /.../administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.class.php on line 2476
to 1) It might be some wrong syntax in the xml file for handling the database field, I couldn't find any example or forum post about it (see also full source code below)
[code:1]
.
.
<database version="1">
<table name="#__comprofiler" class="moscomprofiler" maintable="true" strict="false" drop="never" shared="true">
<columns>
<column name="" nametype="namesuffix" type="sql:varchar(255)" null="true" default="0" />
</columns>
</table>
</database>

[/code:1]
to 2b) it might be correlated to the error reportet today in
www.joomlapolis.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,38/func,view/id,150399/catid,146/
The xml file:

The php field:
Actually I can't paste the php code in the code tag and now the file selection field disapeard.
I appreciate any suggestions that could help solve the problems to get the plugin working correctly.
