Getting no output with low options

Ross Hulford 12 Mar 2014 11:08 question, complete

Hi,

I am trying to use low options (in my low search) and I cannot get any output.

Using

{exp:low_options:area}{options}<option value="{option:value}">{option:label}</option{/options}{/exp:low_options:area}

my custom field is area and my channel is vacancies.

Does it have to be in a form field to get any output?

   What are your EE, Low Options and PHP versions?
   Which type is the area field?

   Hi,
   
   Thanks for the quick reply,
   
   EE v2.7.3
   php - v5.5.3
   
   it is a standard EE select dropdown, attached are the options.

   Can't seem to replicate. What's the Low Options version? And can you share the full template code? You can use http://pastie.org/ or http://pastebin.com/ for large chunks of code.

   You might want to put those option-elements inside a select-element.
   
   

   <select> 
      {exp:low_options:area} 
        {options}<option value="{option:value}">{option:label}</option>{/options} 
      {/exp:low_options:area} 
    </select>

   sorry, I thought it would just output the options in a loop as html.
   
   Thanks for the help.

   It does, but the example code has the <options>, as that's what people use it for most. Here's a "raw" example, without HTML:
   
   

   {exp:low_options:area} 
      {options} 
        {option:label} 
      {/options} 
    {/exp:low_options:area}
