Option dropdown

[jonmy]

Hi

 

I'm reconfiguring a piece of code for a dropdown menu using the option tags. The dropdown is a simple 3 option dropdown. As it stands with the code below it always defaults to show the first option in the list. What I want is to be able to pre-select the option that shows (eg no 2 in the list). Normally of course with just option tags you use selected="selected" In this case though the code is a bit more complex and this coding is a bit beyond me. Any help would be appreciated.

 

<td> Membership Type

      </td>

      <td>

 

          <select name="type_chosen" size="1">

          {section name=types loop=$pid}

            <option value="{$pid[types]}" {$type_selected[types]}> {$type_name[types]}

            {if $type_price[types]}

                (${$type_price[types]})

            {/if}

 

            </option>

 

 

          {/section}

 

          </select>

There's not enough code for us to work with. What is $type_selected?

 

Are you familiar with Smarty already?

 

You should also use code tags in the future.

Here's the whole file. Does that help?

 

Unfortunately I'm not really a coder so please excuse my lack of knowledge in this area (still learning) - not familiar with smarty either...

Smarty is a template engine, so the code that creates the variables will be in a separate PHP page.

 

Once again, use code tags on the forum.

 

[jonmy]

I've located two documents relating to smarty in a lib file. Would these be standard lib documents or do I need to post them?

 

I've also found another document called register.php, appended below, which I wonder if this is the one you mentioned.

 

Hope this is right for the tags

Look through your .php files, not config files but the processing code, for something that has $type_selected or $types, and is not a smarty .tpl

 

It might be in the add_user() function. You don't have enough code here to work with. You will probably need to hire someone to help you since this is not your code, and you don't understand it.

[jonmy]

I'll try that, see if I can locate the file with the relevant code in it

 

Thnx
