Populate drop down list from database

[cverdecchia@…]

Hello I would like to know if it's possible to populate a drop down list whit a query to the database.

Thanks in advice for your excellent work Carlo

sorry i don't get the point. The WikiFormsPlugin is a kind of frontend to enter values into the database. What does "...populate a drop down list with a query to the database." mean in this context?

Yes, you might choose a value from a list and store the selected value in the trac db. Yes, you might query the selected value and fill it into a wiki page. No, the options to select from are hard coded in the checklist.

As an example: I installed the ClientsPlugin and I would like to select a client in a WikiForm from a drop down list filled with values readed from trac database instead that hardcoded in the WikiForm.

...duplicate lines 616:624 with new command (e.g. select_db) and create list of parameters from SQL query. Rest as it is.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not able to program in python. If you think this is a good enhancement you could insert it in a new release?

In any way thanks for this great plugin.
