select a value from a list

<r:select name='reason' values='failed,missed,sickness' selected='failed'/>

select a class

This is used when creating new objects.

<r:select name='klass' values='Project,Section' selected='Project'/>

select a parameter

This can be used to feed an ajax zone with a parameter (something that is not related to “node[]”).

<r:select param='rel' values='friend,husband,pet'/>

select from a list of nodes

<r:select name='icon_id' nodes='images in project' selected='main.icon_id'/>

value translation

You can translate the values to display (uses the current dictionary). This example would show options with value 1 showing as ‘english’, value 2 as ‘french’, etc.

<r:select name='foo' values='1,2,3' tshow='en,fr,de'/>

select a time zone

<r:select name='tz' type='time_zone'/>

select some attribute value

You can use a query to get values and use them inside the select. This can be used to have some “templates” for letters or replies:

<r:select name='text' nodes='letter_templates in site' attr='text' show='title'/>

In case you want to copy more then just a field, you might want to have a look at the “copy_id” special attribute (not documented here yet, write an email to the mailing list).
