  • FFrewin i would like to avoid opening a discussion or information exchange via new answers but i can't post a comment because i don't have 50 reputation. I'm sorry if i broke the rules but it won't let me comment. I can only post a comment to my own answer. Commented Mar 25, 2020 at 18:23
  • Hi Thiago! Yes I know. We all have been at this place at some point. Still the rules are rules and everybody follows them. You can try to gain reputation by participating in the website, posting answers or questions etc ;) Commented Mar 25, 2020 at 18:41
  • Sure, thank you and i'm sorry once again. I will try to do my best abiding to the rules. Commented Mar 25, 2020 at 18:43
  • I too have found the rules here a little 'odd'. I'll go try somewhere else - I had been pointed here as a 'first option'. Sorry. The latest clue I have is that the code is in the 'tmpl' folder of the plugin field definition - prob something to do with the database markup of #__content becoming asdf_content, and that mechanism kills the substitution process.

  • Yes. I'm sorry if i couldn't help you that much but you can try checking the prefix #__ (name of the table) and check if it's the same table name that you have in your database, you can also try to create a new plugin basic plugin to check what's wrong and instead of creating a path like plugins/fields/sql/tmpl/sql.php you can start off with the basic helper file you could also consider creating a module which offers more features If you want, you can send me the plugin (if it's not a secret) and i can try debugging it for you. Good luck. Commented Mar 25, 2020 at 18:50
