Enum Select

lstables

Sorry for the 1000 Questions.

I have a database table with a field with a list of enum values i.e

Cat 1
Cat 2
Cat 3
Cat 4
Cat 5

OK When the form gets created by default you will see a nice auto select with the above options.

If I then want to add a reference in to customize that field i.e

$fields['category'] = array('label'=>'Category','type'=>'select','options'=>'','','order' => '11');

The options field is blank. How do I get the system to auto fill the select with the values in the enum list within the database?

Thanks

By declaring the field that way, you are essentially replacing the current value and all of it's params. If you want to continue to use the default options, you can do one of the following:
$fields['category']['mode'] = 'select';
OR
$options = $fields['category']['options']; $fields['category'] = array('label'=>'Category','type'=>'select','options'=>$options,'','order' => '11');
OR
$fields['category']['type'] = 'select'; $fields['category']['label'] = 'Category'; $fields['category']['order'] = 11;
