Using dataselect to pull in image (or image link) from another region
Hi Perch
Using the dataselect field type I've managed to pull in a text field from one region into another, but as soon as I try and use the Values attribute with Dataselect, it fails.
The region I'm pulling the field from – (the teacher_image field)
<li>
<div class="image-col">
<img width="64" height="64" src="<perch:content id="teacher_image" type="image" label="Teacher image" height="64" width="64" />" />
</div>
<div class="text-col">
<h4><perch:content type="text" id="teacher_name" label="Teacher name" title="true" /></h4>
<perch:content id="teacher_bio" type="textarea" label="Teacher bio" html="true" editor="redactor" />
</div>
</li>
and the region I'm trying to pull this field in to –
<perch:content id="course_teacher" label="Course Teacher" type="dataselect" page="/teachers.php" region="Teacher List" options="teacher_name" values="teacher_image" allowempty="true" />
<h1>
<perch:content id="course_title" type="text" label="Course title" required="true" title="true" />
</h1>
<perch:content id="course_desc" type="textarea" label="Course Description" textile="true" editor="markitup" />
Any ideas why the teacher_image field isn't being shown?
Thanks.
Hi David,
I still don't think thats possible. I needed the same feature ... https://forum.grabaperch.com/forum/09-02-2014-calling-an-image-from-dataselect
Thanks Simon.
Looks like it's possible in Runway with the <perch:related> tag, but I don't think this is a feature in Perch...
That's correct. The
dataselect
field type only really works with simple fields like text.
