Hello,
I wonder how to call / print a variable in a field in CMS Builder admin.
Here is what i want to acheive.

I made a simple editor to record Youtube videos.
I know how to display the video thumbs automaticaly on my website, what i want to do is to display the thumbs also in my admin

Exemple if my video code is "l1xpDLNXhzY" it is simple to call the thumb this way http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/l1xpDLNXhzY/default.jpg.

So my idea is to have a "textfield" call "thumb", wich will be autofill as this <iframe src="http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/l1xpDLNXhzY/default.jpg" width="120" height="90" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I've tryed to set my textfield default value calling my variable as this

<?php echo $record['youtube_code'] ?>

Here is what i get in the field : Notice: Undefined variable: record in /var/www/vhosts/......../lib/common.php(432) : eval()'d code on line 1

Could some body help me please?

Hi,

If you're using v2.06 of CMS Builder, you would need to use the variable $RECORD. However, the problem is that the default value will only appear when creating a new record and when your creating a new record, there will be no values stored in $RECORD. The best solution would be to create a plugin that would populate a field for you when the record is saved.

If you'd like us to do that for you, please email consulting@interactivetools.com

Hope this helps.
