[SOLVED] get component param in Query Drop Down field?

[SOLVED] get component param in Query Drop Down field? was created by cpaschen
I have a Query Drop Down (Multi-select) field with the following query:
SELECT id, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%M %e') as formatted_date
FROM oq7ve_sportscoop_sport_date
WHERE sport = 1 AND year = 2019

It is working fine; however, I need to change it so that it gets the year value in the WHERE clause (i.e. 2019) from the component parameters of a custom component.

If I could run PHP here I would use something like this:
$programYear = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_sportscoop')->get('sys_program_year');

And then just change the where clause to:
WHERE sport = 1 AND year = $programYear

Is there any way to do this within CB - to pull that component param in to use it as part of the WHERE clause in this query?

Use a CB Code Field to execute your code then substitute it into your query. CB Query Field can not run PHP. You could also use a Code Select and have it done entirely in PHP.

Thanks!
The code field and then with the substitution worked.

I tried initially to use the Code Select field, but had problems trying to get the data returned in the array format that it needed (it just kept displaying only one record).
If I need to use that in the future (code select) I'll have to get back to you for more help.

But for now, this is working GREAT!
