Hi All,

I created a plugin where I can create posts and each post belong to a category Lets say in the Category model there is

id:2, name:News and there is a Post

id:1, title: first post, category_id:2

So when this post is shown in the list behavior, it shows category_id to be 1. Is it possible to manipulate the list behavior so that it shows the name of the category it belongs to instead of just the category_id.

So I think in other word which file should I edit so that I can make query to the DB to get category.name to be shown. Thanks.

I would like to know this too. I have a similar issue.

ya i am expecting something that allows me to use relationship query to retrieve the information to show using category_id instead of just showing category_id

Thanks for your push on the post.

I have found part of the solution, but not completely. At the lists, instead of using xxx_id, you can just use xxx, it will return the whole array. I am having difficulty narrowing it down to just the column I need though.

Edit: I believe the answer is in the way yaml works.

I have made further breakthrough in this problem. Make a .htm file in your respective models file, something like _novel_column.htm Inside it you can write a code like this: <?= $value->name ?> Inside your columns.yaml file configuration for the list, make the type of the column partial, and write the path to the .htm file you created, starting with ~/plugins/

This way, you should be able to display what you want. The only problem now is that it isn't searchable or sortable.
