    Hi , There was a bug and I solved it .. I just want to let the plugin author know about that so that he can manage to solve it in the next release. I was writing SQL query when creating drop down list from this plugin. I was following the convention as mentioned. But I was getting same data for value and label for <option> … I mean though I was selecting 2 columns from DB table it was showing <option value=”abc”>abc</option> .. that means label and value was same always.. now I solved. in the /fields/dropdown.php file at line number 218 change to $hash[‘value’] = $hash[‘value’]; from $hash[‘value’] = $hash[‘option’]; It will now show value and label different.

    Thanks

    Please please please use the bug-tracker to report: I do not police the forums for stuff like this. When I sit down to work, I go through the bug-tracker. It is the only thing that keeps me sane.

    I don’t think this is a bug: I think you just need to check the box that says “use separate option/value”. I’ve used the SQL query option on a recent site, so I know that the behavior of the query is affected by that checkbox. If anything, I can update the label to make that more clear.

    Ok Ok … calm down please… next time it will be at bug-tracker.. yes that is not a bug.. but please please please make the label clear under the checkbox of “Execute as MySQL query” give some hint about it. It is confusing because there it says like if we just keep the second column in the query then it will work. but actually we have to check the other checkbox as well (“use separate option/value”)… this is a bit confusing.. otherwise it is a very good plugin…

    You have no idea how much of each day I waste because things aren’t communicated where and how they need to be communicated. That’s really all I ask for. So many users and clients blow it off, and I’m left herding cats across a half-dozen forums or as many email chains.

    So yes: the proper place for this is the bug-tracker — request that the label be changed. Otherwise, I’m almost sure to forget about it when I actually sit down to do work on the plugin. Author a couple plugins and you’ll understand.
