    MultiSelectField: combine two strings? Link to this post

    27 April 2011 at 8:52pm

    Hi, I am using the MultiSelectField module (see code). Is it possible two show a combination of for example 'Title' and a second text field (in my case 'Edition'. Something like 'Title . "and" . Edition'?

    $participantlist = DataObject::get('Participant','','Title ASC');
    $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new MultiSelectField('Participants', 'Active participants', $participantlist->map('ID','Title')));

    Easiest way to do it is to create a method in your Participant class:

    class Participant extends DataObject {
    //...
    function getLongTitle() {
    return $this->Title . ' and ' . $this->Edition;
    }

    and then you can call:

    $participantlist->map('ID','LongTitle');

    Thank you. Very useful, because I have a long list of participants and some of them have almost the same 'Title' field.
