Hi,

Using 1.29.

When I go to upload a news item, I am presented with the error of 'List Type isn't pulldown'.

This is on a field named 'league', within a table called news1, this is set to:

Field label: Team
Field Name: team
Field Type: List
Display as: pulldown
List Options: use Options Listed below (then I have a dozen or so entries all in for the form of asas_shjs|asas shjs etc...

I also have a field named 'team' - this is set to

Field label: Team
Field Name: team
Field Type: List
Display as: Checkboxes (Multi value)
List Options: Advanced MySQL
SELECT team, team FROM cms_teams WHERE league = '<?php echo $ESCAPED_FILTER_VALUE ?>'
Advanced Filter: Refresh list when this field changes: league

I have a separate table created called teams where I currently have to fields league & team

League list league
Team textbox team

The league is identical to the league in the news1 table, and the list of teams is a simple text box. As a result I have a database with unique club names and their current leagues.

I am not sure what is creating this error.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi there.

Thanks for posting!

That's an odd one. I'll need to take a closer look. Could you send me an email through consulting@interactivetools.com with FTP details to your server? Also, could you put a link to this forum post in it?

Thanks!

Hi Ian

Thanks for sending me your details!

I had a look and the problem turned out to be that your second field was set as checkboxes. To use this particular feature, your second field (the one that changes) needs to be set as a pulldown list.

I changed it for you so you should be able to try it out again.

Let me know what you think ;).
