Re: [xwiki-users] Properties "List of users" and "DB list" (and "DB Tree")

Hi! My property is just like a static list, but populated by another class -

I used a DB List property. What I want to show on select is different from what I want the stored

to be, this is actually the purpose of DB List properties' "id name" and "value name", but my experience showed the contrary... I've already seem these link<http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/DatabaseListProperties&g…es>, and also found important information about this subject on this mailing ( http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2008-February/010417.html). But didn't solve my problem.

Again, I just want to do the same as property "List of users" does, which

when selecting it is shown "first_name+last_name", and when querying the result is "XWiki.alias". I want to do something similar, but with my own class, not XWiki.XWikiUsers. For example: XWiki.dbClass [which has: property1 (string), property2 (string)]. XWiki.class1Class [which has: property3 (dbList)=> XWiki class name: XWiki.dbClass, id field name: property1; value field name: property2)]. 2010/10/29 [Ricardo Rodriguez] eBioTIC. &lt;ricardo.rodriguez(a)ebiotic.net&gt; > Hi, > > Erica Usui wrote: > >> Hi! >> >> I'm trying to list the users' name in a form, but the name have >> > complement > >> (p.e.
