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.

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"

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 frown )

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);

$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;

<tr bgcolor="$vars_style_cp{AltColumnColorCurrent}">

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

} # end field
