Extension 2x: MC Currenc-ee Select & MC Template Selector (both FieldFrame fieldtypes)

And now, for my 100th post… 😉

Both of these extensions were developed out of a need that I had for their functionality. I hope they help others out there as well. Also, my lack of extension development knowledge meant that both were heavily based off of other extensions with similar code functionality: MC Curenc-ee Select is based off of Sue Crocker’s SC Countries Select, and MC Template Selector is based off of NG!’s NG! Member List. A big “Thank you!” to them for the head-start.

MC Curenc-ee Select: This fieldtype creates a select menu with the 176 active codes of the official ISO 4217 3 digit currency codes and names. They are returned as the 3 digit code - great for interfacing with online services such as PayPal.

MC Template Selector: This fieldtype dynamically populates a select with a template list based off your pre-determined configuration - while setting up the custom fieldtype, you can select the template group(s) whose templates you want to be shown in the select dropdown. It stores the chosen template according to its ID, so renaming templates should not be an issue. It returns the template as “template_group/template” - ideal for using in {path='…'} tags and the like.
