Hi,
I'm creating a site for a eucalyptus grower to enter his date for clients to view. He knows nothing about html or databases, and I must say that he was very happy that with Joomla and Fabrik I have been able to create something that he can use quite easily.
Two questions for you.
1. One thing I want to do is to include images representing boolean values (e.g. leaf image if attractive foliage).
Rob suggested "This requires you to create a folder inside images/stories with png images which represent your tables data. So, if you were recording "1" for nice leaves and "0" for ugly leaves then you might want to create a folder images/stories/leaves with two images files inside it "1.png" and "0.png", representing the two icons.
Then you would edit the element that corresponds with this data and under the "table settings" tab select "/leaves/" for the "Icon folder" dropdown.
I have tried to do this, but am only getting 0 or 1 to display, not the icons. The element type is a radio button with two values, 1 (labelrnamental) and 0 (labelrdinary). I have also tried using a checkbox. In either case the table view shows the value of the field (0 or 1) and in the form view it shows the label.
Can you please advise what else I need to do to get the icons to show up?
2. Ordering of columns in table view - I've set this up in the elements and you can see that because they are red. However clicking on the column headers doesn't make any difference. Why not?
I'm using Joomla 1.5 with Fabrik 1.0.4 latest SVN
You can check out my results at
http://eucalyptus-passion.com/testcms/index.php look at the View Species menu item. (This is all still with default templates at present, please don't judge me on the look!).
Thanks for a very useful component and your help.
Regards,
Belinda
