Hi,
I want to make a content type with a category selection. The specific manager who shall use this content type must not have the full list of categories, but only a 6 of them. I can not use the standard category list of joomla, but must create a own select list.
So I tried to make a simple select list, with the categories listed like
new=25
old=26
young=27
The selection shall be stored into the catid of #_content
But when I try this, this ist stored nowhere, and in the catid of #_content is written a 0
So I fear, that after the writing of my content_type, the catid is changed to zero. Is there an other way to get my catid written into #_content -> catid
thank you
Wolfgang
You need to set correct storage for the field - Standard-Article-catid (exactly the same as in standard article category field)
Thank you, that s great. I have missunderstood the thing with data storage. Thought that custom-article-catid is the correct syntax, because the standard storage thing is in #__cck_store_form_mycontent and the custom storage is in the #_content table. :-)
Thank you Klas
