[SOLVED] Updating fields in database row

Hi. I thought it might be better to add this supplemental question here to keep the correspondence together.

I successfully got your query working :-
SELECT `id`, CONCAT( `firstname`, ' ', `lastname` ) AS name
FROM `#__comprofiler`
WHERE `cb_shac_role` LIKE '%Office%' OR `cb_shac_role` LIKE '%Befriender%'

This allows the selection of user2 in the record of user1 and allows its display in a CB List, but what I am trying to do now (and failing) is to use a similar query to display the avatar of user2 in the record of user1 and similarly to display it in a CB List.

Can you point me in the right direction please?

Thanks a lot

Jim

You're using a query select field so no that won't be possible since it has no means of passing the selected value through substitutions as nested substitutions are not allowed in normal circumstances. It should be doable with a code field provided by CB Code Field using PHP and getFields API. Example as follows.

return \CBuser::getInstance( (int) '[FIELD_NAME]', false )->getField( 'avatar', null, 'html', 'none', 'list', 0, true );

Replace FIELD_NAME with the name of your field, which should be a user id. It'd be possible with normal substitutions if the user attribute in substitutions supported a field (e.g. user="FIELD_NAME"), but at this time it does not so have added a feature ticket for that.
