• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

hi Sam

Depends what you mean by 'id' - if you mean the numeric reference for the id that's stored in the database you can see that by going to admin, selecting components->fabrik->elements and hovering over the link to edit the element. At the end of the link is "&cid=x" where x is the element's id.

If you mean the HTML id for the element, the simplest thing to do is to install frebug (www.getfirebug.com) in firefox, go to your form, open the frebug tab (F12) click on the "inspect" button and hover over your dropdown, it shoul highlight the dropdown's DOM from which you should be able to see the id.

Or you can 'view source' and find it that way.

But FireFox with FireBug has so many useful features, it's worth installing if you are going to do much work with Fabrik.

We are in need of some funding.
