Hi,

I’m making a channel entry form which should add data to a grid field.

The documentation is pretty straight forward…

<select id="{field_name}" name="{field_name}">
      {options}<option value="{option_value}"{selected}>{option_name}</option>{/options}
</select>

Field name i can handle, but what goes in the option_value, selected and option_name?

Also as i’m using a grid field, would i lay this out the same way i would with normal channel entries tag? i.e

{exp:channel:entries channel="news"}
{grid_field_name}
    <h2>{title}</h2>
<p>    {body}<br />
{/grid_field_name}<br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks.

Can anyone give an example of an entry form which uses a grid field? Still struggling with this.

At the moment, the dropdown options stay as {option_name} rather than generating a drop down list from the channel.

Ok, so it turns out this was ridiculously simple.

Rather than having to find add the fields myself, one by one I just had to add:

{field:grid_field_name}

Hope that helps. Didn’t see it in the documentation anywhere.
