Call Lise instance in a page template as a content block

Hello,
I have an instance Lise that contains items (with fields like last name, first name, email, profession, department, etc.).
I would like a user (backend) editing a page to be able to select an item from this instance and then that displays details item view in the page.
In effect, this amounts to offering a choice via a drop-down list, then the choice made it must write
Code: Select all
{LISEmycontacts action='detail' include_items = 'myselected-item-id' template_detail='mydetailtemplate'}
it's been three hours, my head hurts

I'd consider
http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/ecb2 using the dropdown from udt feature.
I quickly tested setup below.
Then a UDT to return the LISE items. I expect someone already made something
Sample UDT get_lise_items:
Code: Select all
$mod = cmsms()->GetModuleInstance('LISEmycontacts');
$parms['pagelimit'] = 1000;
$parms['showall'] = true; // <- To disable time control queries
$item_query = new LISEItemQuery($mod, $parms);
$item_query->AppendTo(LISEQuery::VARTYPE_WHERE, 'A.active = 1');
$result = $item_query->Execute(true);
$items = array();
while ($result && $row = $result->FetchRow())
{
$obj = $mod->InitiateItem(array("item_id","title"));
LISEItemOperations::Load($mod, $obj, $row);
// $items[$obj->title] = $obj->item_id; //only if item titles are unique and may need some proper escaping
$items[$obj->alias] = $obj->item_id;
}
return $items;
In your page template:
Code: Select all
{content_module module="ECB2" field="dropdown_from_udt" block="test2" label="LISE instance" udt="get_lise_items" first_value="=select=" assign='liseitemid'}{$liseitemid=$liseitemid scope=global}
and
Code: Select all
{LISEmycontacts action=detail item=$liseitemid}

Hello Velden,
Thanks to your help I was even able to display a detailed contact list in a LISE detail template.
To do this, all you have to do is add an element type field of a LISE instance. (select alias as identifier).
Then in the detail template:
Code: Select all
{elseif $fielddef.name == 'mycontactchoice'}
{assign var=mychoicevalue=$fielddef.value scope=global}
{LISEcontactsmairie action=detail item=$mychoice template_detail=choicecontact}
I know, this must sound trivial to you, but for a simple integrator ...
You helped me a lot and I think your thread can interest many integrators, really !
