I have a select element in a form that is suppose to run a query for it's options. Instead of running the query each time it seems to only query them the first time and from then on it keeps loading the saved options from the db.

$_sel = xtStem_get_stem_songs($_user['user_active_profile_id']);
// Select a type
$_tmp = array(
   'name'       => 'audio_stem_song',
   'label'      => 'song',//999
   'help'       => 'Select a song',
   'type'       => 'select',
   'options'    => $_sel,
   'validate'   => 'not_empty',
   'required'   => true
);
jrCore_form_field_create($_tmp);

Is there a work around?

That's cause you've got that wrong - it needs to be:

$_tmp = array(
   'name'       => 'audio_stem_song',
   'label'      => 'song',//999
   'help'       => 'Select a song',
   'type'       => 'select',
   'options'    => 'xtStem_get_stem_songs',
   'validate'   => 'not_empty',
   'required'   => true
);
jrCore_form_field_create($_tmp);

Note how the "options" is set to the name of the function you want to run. NO PARAMS can be passed in however, so you'll need to adjust your xtStem_get_stem_songs() function to NOT take an argument, and inside just do:

global $_user

and then grab the user var that way.

Hope this helps!

I'm not the author but I would have easily made the same mistake.

Thanks.

I guess I was the author, but not necessarily a mistake, we just have to parse whatever xml is made available by the app-in-development.

I thought it was likely an updated way to do it.

Not sure, I haven't checked.
