Hey guys.. I'm a newbie with processwire, I have to say it's a really good CMS, however I'm having some problems and I'm REALLY confused about the whole layout of the CMS and how to get around it
At the moment I have two databases, one is the processwire database used for the whole website yadda yadda. The other one is a database of stuff I need (it also interfaces with other applications, that's why I didn't put it inside the processwire DB).
I want to create a frontend for managing said database (adding fields, rows, etc etc). Basically what I have in mind is something like: and send data to my database when an admin submits the form.
Anyhow, I'm getting that far and it's all good, however I have a huge trouble with understanding how the whole $modules->get("whatever"); works.
What is "InputfieldForm"? what is "InputfieldText"? I mean, they are quite straightforward but now I also need to add a select (aka drop down menu) field. I downloaded the drop down menu module created by Hani but I'm not sure if that is even related to what I'm asking here.
Can someone please help me? What I want ultimately in my form is to have a drop down menu with 3-4 options. I'm getting really confused, thanks
