[TYPO3] FCE's and values from foreign tables

Hi!

Please, notice that there is a TemplaVoila-dedicated list where all such issues are discussed. This is made because it is easier to search smaller list for TV solutions than huge this list :)

That's right. BE takes care to convert numbers to values. FE just displays them as is. This is what you have to do manually.
                      <foreign_field>typename</foreign_field>

Never heard about foreign_field or foreign_label. What are those?

RECORDS content object that fetches titles from table by its uid. This is what BE does transparently for you.
