hello guys - my question is actually on set_relation, when i choose from the drop down it storing the id of the field instead of the actual text.is there a way to get the text instead of the id. thanks a lot.

well.. u can then not choose to use set relation.. rather u can set field type to be enum with having the set of texts as values 

http://www.grocerycrud.com/documentation/options_functions/field_type#enum-field - this will help u understand as how it gets done..

 

this way u will have a drop down without having the ID.

 

If you still need to have text along with ID .. then u can just directly have an additional field which is going to store text value.. set that field to be hidden .. and add callback after insert / update .. there u can select the actual row of relation table and populate the field with respective value..

 

There are multiple ways to a solution.. its upto you what suites u and what you will choose!!

 

 

Happy GCing ..

assalamualaikum Amit, thanks for the quick response.

 

is this possible?  $crud->field_type('fruits','set',array( coming from a table??? )); 

in the array part data will be coming from  a table.

 

thanks again.
