[TYPO3-dev] Populating form select options in fluid

[Heinz Müller]

Hi Florian,

thanks for your suggestion. I just tried exactly this but it fails, too.

Interestingly, the documentation at http://wiki.typo3.org/Fluid#f:form only
discusses the following two uses of the view helper:

Supply an associative array:
<f:form.select name="paymentOptions" options="{payPal: 'PayPal', visa:
'Visa Card'}" />

Via getter methds of a domain object:
<f:form.select name="users" options="{userArray}" optionValueField="id"
optionLabelField="firstName" />

But according to the source code in SelectViewHelper it should work with a
simple associative array:
$this->registerArgument('options', 'array', 'Associative array with
internal IDs as key, and the values are displayed in the select box', TRUE);

Anyways, I'm still in the dark.
Heinz
