Hmm... interesting name for a class method...

Hmm.. I'm not really sure what you mean... the OSRC and dropdown both take
an attribute (I think it's called sql) that gives the SQL query to run to

The script I used to build one is attached -- let me know if you have any
problems with it (it's the exact same as the one I sent to centrallix-devel
a few minutes ago).


Hope that made some sense....
