Re: Displayfield from plugin not used from main app

Thanks for quick reply. I will take another look at the plugin views, but I am not sure that is where I need to change things.

I'm calling the user_id hoping to get the displayField from outside of the plugin from a view from my main app.

Does your users table have a 'username' column?

That looks a little odd. I would expect that the id would be
auto-generated and that, minimally, there would be a username input.

I haven't used this plugin, btw.

ok, I've just looked at the schema for this. The user_id column is in
the user_details table. It's the foreign key pointing to the users
table.

Take a look at the views that come with the plugin. I think that
perhaps you've tried modifying things and taken a wrong turn
somewhere.

Changing recursive would have no effect.
