This is a small issue. I want to change the title column when record is clicked for details. I did follow the delegate class tutorial, but there is one issue.

The record value I am trying to put in this case is populated using value list. That is - a Name table has nameid and name. Another subscriber table has this name which is populated by valuelist, and stores nameid
Now when I say in Subscriber table delegate class
function titleColumn(){
return 'name';
}
It returns the nameid. Instead I want name to be displayed here. Do I need to put some sql stuff here??

The best way to handle this is in 2 steps.

1. Using the __sql__ directive in the fields.ini file for the subscriber table, add the name field to your table.
e.g.

Code: Select all

__sql__ = "select s.*, n.name as fullName from `Subscriber` s left join `Name` n on s.name=n.nameid"


2. Reference the fullName field that we created in the titleColumn() method:

Code: Select all

function titleColumn(){
    return 'fullName';
}
