Hi,

I am trying a make a library catalog management. I would like it to be serchable. So I tried phprunner. Everything is going well except id's such as language id, barrower id, publisher id etc. This sections appears on the final screan as numbers. I feel those can be transformed to real words, but I do not know how.

I wonder if you be kind enough to help me.

Sincerely,

Uludag.

You can proceed to the Visual Editor and setup those fields as "Lookup Wizard".
In this case corresponding values from lookup tables will be displayed automatically.

Thank you very much, admin.

The problem is solved except the number -1.

I am using Bookcat, and it put -1 if the column is empty, namely if there is no entry for publisher, barrower etc, there appears -1.

Now, I managed to transform the other numbers to names. But, -1 is still there. I prefer it to be appeared as empty. Is that possible?

Sincerely,

Hi,
try using Custom view type for your field.

Something like:

if($value==-1)

$value="";
