Greetings,
Having posted in 2 forums over at j!, I'm a little disappointed no one has answered. My question is simple:
Is there a guide (or can someone point me in the right direction by example) to developing a plugin to display text from another field (in my case, an mtree listing) in a content item? Of course, this is for j1.5 ;o)

Well - the Plugin-Structure is very flexible, so I'm quite sure, that it's possible to code such a plugin.
There's quite a good book available on Joomla-Coding here: www.packtpub.com/Joomla-Extensions/book#indetail
and you'll also find everything you need to know at the Developer-Network: dev.joomla.org/component/option,com_jd-w...ugins:create_plugin/
However - do you mean a Module-Position with "another Field"? To embed this, you could simply try {loadposition mymoduleposition} (replace "mymoduleposition" with the moduleposition, your Mod resides in, i.e. user10).

I see - well, there's no easy way then
But writing plugins is not THAT much of a pain anyway...
Basically the Framework is always the same and you can have a look at mtree's source as reference on how to query the DB.
