I was wondering if is possible for the select field to be able to set a specific image for each field value:

for example if you want that field to be used fo:

discount display or hotels stars

1 star will use this-image.png 2 stars will use the-other-image.png

and so on

I think yes. You can acomplish it in few ways. But here is what I would do.

As values I would insert something like
```
STAR1
STAR2
STAR3
STAR4
STAR5
```
Now in language overrides I would create translation keys.
Now in custom output template of the field I would check $this->value and display image acording to it's value.

Sergey can you give me an example of if statement for the custome output template to check :

if ($this->value) == 5discount

display 5discount-image.jpg

else

($this->value) == 10discount

display 10discount-image.jpg

and so on..

Would really appriciate :)

<img src="/images/discounts/<?php echo $this->value[0]; ?>-image.jpg" alt="<?php echo JText::_($this->value[0]) ?>" />

Place in in custom select field output template. Of corse adjust path to images.
