I've been digging for the past few days on how I could assign a dropdown's values from values in my MYSQL db.
Creating a dropdown field is easy enough (an there are existing plugins that help with that to completely expedite the process), but I can't find anything about pulling information from MYSQL.
I even attempted to do this through a round-a-bout way by loading the dropdown and then using jQuery and Ajax to change the dropdown, but I can't even locate the dropdown value ids/classes since they seem to be instantiated by javascript and don't seem to exist as normal dropdowns would.
Ultimately, I need to extract the "title" column of my recipes MYSQL table and populate a CKEditor dropdown with all of those names. Does anybody have an idea of how I could get my dropdown to list every recipe added in my DB?
