loading Fabrik instance on external class --> dropdown not rendered ?

[lcollong]

Hi,

My app has a class to manipulate mySQL table outside regular forms (computations/updates/crons).
For pdf rendering, I need to load data "as Fabrik" in order to get rendered values. Thus the method I wrote :

    public function loadFabrikRow($rowid, $listid = 0){
        $rowid = intval($rowid);
        $listid = intval($listid);
       
        if ($rowid < 1 ) {
            $this->JLog('loadFabrikRow - rowid invalide : '.$rowid, JLog::ERROR, 'Synapse');           
            return false;
        }
       
        if ($listid < 1) $listid = intval($this->fabrikListId);
        if ($listid < 1) {
            $this->JLog('loadFabrikRow - listid invalide : '.$listid, JLog::ERROR, 'Synapse');           
            return false;
        }
        $formModel = JModelLegacy::getInstance('Form', 'FabrikFEModel');
        $formModel->setId($listid);   
        $listModel = $formModel->getlistModel();       
        $row = $listModel->getRow($rowid, true, true);
        $this->fabrikData = is_object($row) ? FArrayHelper::fromObject($row, true) : $row;
        // echo "<pre>";print_r($row);echo "</pre>";
        return $this->fabrikData;
    }

Almost everything is rendered as if it was displayed in a form/details view (fabrikData contains an array with both raw values and rendered ones). Except a very basic dropdown. Both regular and raw value contain the same data. The raw one indeed. Can't get the corresponding label.

Did I forget something ?

Thanks

Is your element set to show in list view (resp. to "always render" in element settings)?

 

[lcollong]

Well done
Marking it as "always render" does the job. Thanks.
However I'd expect to get the equivalent of the form load data ?....

 

[troester]

Is it hidden?

 

[lcollong]

No it isn't. But most of the time ACL Readonly. Only selectable on new form

 

[troester]

Hmm, don't know.
Did you try without ACL restrictions?
Is it with all dbjoins or only this special one?

 

[lcollong]

DBjoins elts are rendering ok. This one is a regular dropdown with nothing special except ACL. I'll try without ACL but I can't leave it. Since it works with "always render", I'll stop here. Thanks for your "clear vision"

 

[troester]

Ah, ok. So it's working with "Always render" also in form/details view?

 

[lcollong]

Yes the "always render" does not modify the form/details view nor its behavior. The list view still works and my script is now loading the right things !
