PS1.6 => adding a dropdown menu to "homeslider" module

[Nicks]

Hi!

 

I need to add a dropdown menu to homeslider.

 

I've added it in homeslide.php and homeslider.php, based on "helper forms" and it works fine in displaying the field in admin form and registering values in the db :

 

homeslider.php :

   array(
                        'type' => 'select',
                        'label' => $this->l('categorie'),
                        'name' => 'category',
                        'required' => true,
                        'options' => array(
                            'query' => $options = array(
                                array(
                                    'id_option' => 'cat1',       // The value of the 'value' attribute of the <option> tag.
                                    'name' => 'Catégorie 1'    // The value of the text content of the  <option> tag.
                                ),
                                array(
                                    'id_option' => 'cat2',
                                    'name' => 'Catégorie 2'
                                ),
                            ),
                            'id' => 'id_option',
                            'name' => 'name'
                           )
                    ),

Problem is, the "selected" state of the field is not working (when i try to update a slide, the value in db isn't selected).

 

I've tested the vars in the tpl (based on : {extends file="helpers/form/form.tpl"}) :

{if $fields_value[$input.name] == $option[$input.options.id]}
       selected="selected"
{/if}

The value of $option[$input.options.id] is fine, but the value of $fields_value[$input.name] isn't what is expected...

It's a number '1' (for every option, when it should be the id_option string of the array.

 

Thanks for help

Ok, i had (at least) a mistake...

 

So $fields_value[$input.name] value is now array.

 

So, i think problem is that i can't access the value of an array, this way :

$fields['category'] = Tools::getValue('category', $slide->category);

Anyone knows how i get the value of an array, please?

 

Thank you
