[TYPO3] FCE's and values from foreign tables

[John Kavanagh]

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for that. foreign_field and foreign_label are tca items - I was
just trying everything to get it to work!!

I have tried lots of typoscript using RECORDS but I cant get anything to
work. Could you give me an example?

My goal is to create records using FCE's and providing a list and
details page using FCE's and typoscript. 
 
Thanks
John.

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.
