#115560 - 08/25/03 05:55 AM Making customfield3 into a dropdown?
Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5354 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	I'm wanting to make customfield3 into a dropdown which states: Code: Select ------ Male Female and i want it to require users to select one or the other (using values i know, but making the form is what i'm having issues with since i viewed presant options). I'd also like to have it so that it's required as well in the followign areas: cp edit profile (cp_edit_profile.pl) public edit profile (public_edit_profile.pl) registrations (public_register_form.pl) note that the file names canbe off a bit since i'm running on 0 sleep... Any help would be greatly appreciated. _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5354 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	Ok, so far I have: Replace: Code: input type="text" name="customfield3" value="$user_profile[18]" size="35" maxlength="80" /> With: Code: <select name="customfield3"> <option>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_select}</option> <option>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_selector}</option> <option value="Male">$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_male}</option> <option value="Female">$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_female}</option> </select></select> Which sets the profile field to male or female, BUT, how would i go about making it have one selected when viewed in edit profile lol, it just shows "select" _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

try using...

Code:

if($user_profile[16] eq 'Male') {
	my $maleselect = qq! selected="selected"!;
} else {
	my $maleselect = qq! !;
}

if($user_profile[16] eq 'Female') {
	my $femaleselect = qq! selected="selected"!;
} else {
	my $femaleselect = qq! !;
}

if($user_profile[16] eq '') {
	my $femaleselect = qq! selected="selected"!;
} else {
	my $femaleselect = qq! !;
}

<select name="customfield3">
  <option>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_select}</option>
  <option>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_selector}</option>
  <option value="Male" $maleselect>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_male}</option>
  <option value="Female" $femaleselect>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_female}</option>
</select>

(note: I made it default to female to avoid being a chauvenist pig. gotta love the times we live in

)

new gameplan, now that I looked at the file

FIND:
=====

Code:

if (($vars_registration{custom4_field_use} ne 'DEL') && ($vars_registration{customfield3} ne '')) {

	if ($vars_registration{custom3_field_use} eq 'REQ') {
		$B1 = '<b>';
		$B2 = '</b>';
	} else {
		$B1 = '';
		$B2 = '';
	}

ADD AFTER:
==========

Code:

if($user_profile[18] eq 'Male') {
	my $maleselect = qq! selected="selected"!;
} else {
	my $maleselect = qq! !;
}

if($user_profile[18] eq 'Female') {
	my $femaleselect = qq! selected="selected"!;
} else {
	my $femaleselect = qq! !;
}

if($user_profile[18] eq '') {
	my $femaleselect = qq! selected="selected"!;
} else {
	my $femaleselect = qq! !;
}

THEN FIND:
==========

Code:

<input type="text" name="customfield3" value="$user_profile[18]" size="35" maxlength="80" />

AND REPLACE IT WITH:
====================

Code:

<select name="customfield3">
  <option>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_select}</option>
  <option>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_selector}</option>
  <option value="Male" $maleselect>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_male}</option>
  <option value="Female" $femaleselect>$vars_wordlets_mods{gender_female}</option>
</select>

try that

ok, here we go.

Code:

in public_edit_profile.pl

find:
<input type="text" name="customfield2" value="$user_profile[17]" size="35" maxlength="80" />
</td>
</tr>

THISFIELD

}    # end field

add after:

if($user_profile[18] eq 'Female') {
	$male_yes = '';
	$male_no = qq( checked="checked");
} else {
	$male_no = '';
	$male_yes = qq( checked="checked");
}

find:

<input type="text" name="customfield3" value="$user_profile[18]" size="35" maxlength="80" />

replace with:

<input type="radio" name="customfield3" value="Male" $male_yes /> $vars_wordlets_mods{male_option} 

<input type="radio" name="customfield3" value="Female" $male_no /> $vars_wordlets_mods{female_option}

Also, just for cosmetic purposes...

find:

<td>
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$B1$vars_registration{customfield3}$B2:

replace with:

<td valign="top">
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$B1$vars_registration{customfield3}$B2:

in vars_wordlets_mods.cgi

find:
%vars_wordlets_mods = (

add after:

	q!female_option! => q!Female!,
	q!male_option! => q!Male!,

that should do it. It defaults to Male.

ok, you just asked for public_register_form.pl so here

Code:

find:
	$vars_registration{customfield3}, "", "customfield3", "text", 35, 80, 0);

replace with:

	$vars_registration{customfield3}, "", "customfield3", "radio", { Male => $vars_wordlets_mods{male_option}, Female => $vars_wordlets_mods{female_option} }, [qw(Male Female)], Male);

you can try this for the cp.

Code:

in cp_edit_profile.pl
find:
if (($vars_registration{custom3_field_use} ne 'DEL') && ($vars_registration{customfield3} ne '')) {

	if ($vars_registration{custom3_field_use} eq 'REQ') {
		$B1 = '<b>';
		$B2 = '</b>';
	} else {
		$B1 = '';
		$B2 = '';
	}

	&AlternateColors;

	print <<THISFIELD;

<tr bgcolor="$vars_style_cp{AltColumnColorCurrent}">
<td class="autorow"><span class="autorow-title" style="font-weight: normal;">
$B1$vars_registration{customfield3}$B2:
</td><td class="autorow"><span class="autorow-options">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="customfield3" value="$user_profile[18]" SIZE="35" MAXLENGTH="80">
</span></td>
</tr>
THISFIELD

}    # end field

replace with:

if($user_profile[18] eq 'Female') {
	$male_yes = '';
	$male_no = qq( checked="checked");
} else {
	$male_no = '';
	$male_yes = qq( checked="checked");
}

if (($vars_registration{custom3_field_use} ne 'DEL') && ($vars_registration{customfield3} ne '')) {

	if ($vars_registration{custom3_field_use} eq 'REQ') {
		$B1 = '<b>';
		$B2 = '</b>';
	} else {
		$B1 = '';
		$B2 = '';
	}

	&AlternateColors;

	print <<THISFIELD;

<tr bgcolor="$vars_style_cp{AltColumnColorCurrent}">
<td class="autorow"><span class="autorow-title" style="font-weight: normal;">
$B1$vars_registration{customfield3}$B2:
</td><td class="autorow"><span class="autorow-options">
<input type="radio" name="customfield3" value="Male" $male_yes /> $vars_wordlets_mods{male_option} 

<input type="radio" name="customfield3" value="Female" $male_no /> $vars_wordlets_mods{female_option}
</span></td>
</tr>
THISFIELD

}    # end field
