Matrix field showing ID in module

We are using a matrix field type in a module. When add/edit the field, it shows the ID instead of the title. We have the checkbox as "Use as title" for the column we want. We upgraded to bigtree 4.5.1 and not sure if this is a bug or something we need to do differently?

URL is picture of matrix from developer>module and module, it should say Board Certification instead of 5

It should be showing description instead of value.

Re: Matrix field showing ID in module

Hi Doon! Sorry for the late reply, I believe this is fixed in 4.5-devel (you'll have to re-save a page with corrupt title data) — there's quite a lot waiting in there for a 4.5.2 release, I should kick that out soon (maybe this weekend).

Re: Matrix field showing ID in module

Hey Tim,

Just updated to bigtree 4.5.2 and it kind of fixed the issue. Fixed for list field but I also have a custom list field. The custom list field still shows the value instead of description.

Code below for my custom list field.

Draw

$services_module = new services;
$services = $services_module->getAll("title ASC");

$list = array();

foreach($services as $item){
		$list[] = array("value" => $item["id"],"description" => $item["title"]);
}	

$field["options"]["list_type"] = '';
$field["options"]["allow-empty"] = "Yes";
$field["options"]["list"] = $list;

include BigTree::path("admin/field-types/list/draw.php");

Process

$field["output"] = htmlspecialchars($field["input"]);

Do you see anything that I could be doing wrong?
Thanks

Re: Matrix field showing ID in module

Tim,

I found another issue with the matrix field and list field not showing the selected item. The function processFieldDescription(core/inc/bigtree/admin.php) should have an else statement if list_type is not a "db". That means it is a static list and will still need to get the description.

Something like below added on line 7739

//Get static list description
	else {
		foreach ($field["settings"]["list"] as $list) {
			if($list["value"] == $output) {
				return $list["description"];
				break;
			}
		}
	}
//Get static list description - end
