Hi,
I am trying to Populate a Select field (CRED generic filed) with a View output

Followed indications in https://toolset.com/forums/topic/populate-select-field-with-a-view/ , and many other posts in your support forum.

VIEW code (all in one line as suggested in some posts):

  [wpv-layout-start][wpv-items-found]<!-- wpv-loop-start --><wpv-loop>[wpv-item index=1]{"value":"[wpv-post-id]","label":"[wpv-post-title]"}[wpv-item index=other],{"value":"[wpv-post-id]","label":"[wpv-post-title]"}</wpv-loop><!-- wpv-loop-end -->[/wpv-items-found][wpv-layout-end] 

CRED code:

[cred_generic_field field="HouseName" type="select" class="" urlparam=""]
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"persist":1,
"default":[],
"options":[ [wpv-view name="Select a House"] ]
}
[/cred_generic_field]

Many thanks,

Miquel

Hi Miguel,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Could you take a screenshot of the view output so that i can have a look.

I would like to ensure that the JSON output is valid.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Attached the screenshot. This page is under construction,so you'll see the content is still dummy.

Inpecting the element with google tools, I can see double quotes wrapping the JSON. Not visible in the screenshot. Just guessing the issue could be that VIEWs is outputing these additional quotes??.

If you want to check come to: hidden link

Regards,
Miquel

Hi Shane,

Just realized you won't see the same screen than me in the link I've sent, as the VIEW is filtered by Author, so you'll see no "houses", unless you log-in and create some...

Let me kno if you need something else (eg. a user to login?).

Thanks,

Miquel

Hi Miguel,

Could you allow me to have admin access to the website.

I would like to check on this for you to see if I can help better.

Please let me know the CRED form as well as the View that is generating the JSON.

The private fields have been enabled for your next response.

Thanks,
Shane

Inspecting with google tools, a <div> is outputed by the VIEWs shortcode:

<div id="wpv-view-layout-5365-CATTR892bf3be5c451b2b8241395f4a49da31CPID4938" class="js-wpv-view-layout">
" JSON stuff"
</div>

The Form is: "Select a House Form"
The View: "Select a House"

Where do I enter the private data??

Hi Miguel,

Thats strange i've enabled the fields.

Could you try again.

Thanks,

Hi Shane,

I've fixed the issue.

I've just done the view from scratch.
This morning I've already tried to duplicate the VIEW, before contacting you, but it didn't fix the problem.

It seems the VIEW was "corrupted", as when doing tests, I'd changed the kind of view (I think to parametric), and after moving back to display "All results", I guess some rubish configuration params left......

Thanks,

Miquel
