Love that you added the autocomplete feature for custom fields. Question is where could I add these in the database. I ask this because doing it with the admin interface will take me hours since I will have hundreds and hundreds of items to put in. (list of all art universities)

Thanks!
Hi Gene,

The list is being stored inside the database table #__social_fields_options as my colleague Mark mentioned in his previous reply. Unfortunately there is no other place that the list is being stored as the autocomplete can only be utilized using the database search rather than file list search.

Hey Gene,

If you really need to import this via the db, you need to map them into the table #__social_fields_options . You need to set the parent_id to the field's id.

Is there a better place to add these. Obviously somehwere these choices have to be stored. I just want to add to that stored list. Is there another file that these autocompletes are being stored?

Thanks!
