<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>do it in two phase.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>first make a plugin that will return the list of values
for the select.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>but instead of producing html, simply output a string with
the values separated by comma, like this: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>option1,option2, option3, ... </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>if the option name is different from the option value,
simply generate two string</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>you do this in the renderform function of your plugin, by
setting, for example $optionNamesList = 'option1name,option2name,...' and
$optionValuesList = 'option1value,...'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>and in your template, add this somewhere:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><script type="text/javascript"><BR>
/*<![CDATA[*/<BR> var optionNamesList =
'{$optionNamesList}';</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> var optionValuesList =
'{$optionValuesList}';<BR> /*]]>*/<BR></script></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>this way to can access the options data via the edit
plugin javascript</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>the edit plugin javascript is complex, maybe ask someone
who know javascript to help you with that part</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In the actual HowToAddDropdownInEditPlugin example, the
options data is written in hard in the code. All you have to do is, instead, get
the optionNamesList and optionValuesList javascript variable (defined in the
template, see above).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>so, instead of using </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>var authorisedOptionsList = new array( ...</DIV>
<DIV>var authorisedOptionsListLabel = new array( ...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>you use</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>var authorisedOptionsList = <FONT
face=Arial>optionValuesList</FONT>.split(",");</DIV>
<DIV>var authorisedOptionsListLabel = <FONT
face=Arial>optionNamesList.split(",");</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>this convert the string provided by your other plugin into
an array of options label and value the javascript from the edit plugin can
use.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>regards</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Oliver</FONT></DIV>
