Hi,

I'm trying to return two concatenated fields from a Browse Form to the description field of a lookup control.

My first attempt was to concatenate the fields directly in the query. Result: The Browse Form stays empty.

The 2nd attempt: By concatenating the fields in the Display row I can see the field appear on the Browse Form.

Now my question is how I can pass that "fullname" field to the lookup control? Adding an alias for the concatenated fields (like CONCAT(gd_vorname, ' ', gd_nachname) as full_name) doesn't work.

Steven,

Thank you, it works like this. Why didn't I think of that...?

toms,

It will only work with fields from the table connected to the Lookup.

Not fields from any SQL joins.

If you want to do something more complicated, like how much a customer owes.

You could do that with PHP in After Browse.

You could do something like this...

Code: Select all

$lur    = nuLookupRecord();
$i      = $lur->ID;
$s      = "
        SELECT SUM(inv_total) 
        WHERE inv_paid = '0'
        AND inv_customer_id = '$i'
        ";
    
$t      = nuRunQuery($s);
$r      = db_fetch_row($t);

nuSetFormValue('rep_customer_iddescription', "Currently owing : " . $r[0]);

Steven,

Thanks for the additional example. I've just nuLookupRecord() so far but not in combination with
nuRunQuery() etc.
