I have a State field in my custom member fields and am using user:edit.  Am I missing something in the docs that shows me how to create a dropdown field with the values, and select the user’s current choice, in the form?

Hi Chad,

Yes, you are missing something from the Docs LOL
http://www.solspace.com/docs/entry/user_edit_profile/#select_your_custom_field

<select name="state">
{select_state}
<option value="{value}">{value}</option>
{/select_state}
</select>

Ugh I’m such a dolt!  So I implemented that and its working fine - should it natively be able to select the current value if used in an update form?  Its not doing so for me.  Example:  My custom member field called State is set to California.  Using the code above, when I create a custom edit profile form, California is not selected when the form is loaded.

Thanks as always Pie Man

Chad,

What type of field did you set your field as? A “Select” type? smile

It is set as a drop-down list in the CP.  I still don’t see any way to have user:edit show the correct choice on an update form.  Is there anything in particular I need to do?

Here is my code:

<div class="form-field">
    <label for="cf_member_state">State</label>
    <select name="cf_member_state" class="drop">
    {select_cf_member_state}
    <option value="{value}">{value}</option>
    {/select_cf_member_state}
    </select>
</div> 

It is not selecting the correct value.

Chad,

I’m having a similar problem. I’ve got the form working correctly, but each time I go back to the page with the state drop down, it defaults to the first option. I’m trying to figure out how to get the form to “remember” the user’s selected state.

Awe shoot…

I did not include the {selected} variable in my example smile

<div class="form-field">
    <label for="cf_member_state">State</label>
    <select name="cf_member_state" class="drop">
    {select_cf_member_state}
    <option value="{value}" {selected}>{value}</option>
    {/select_cf_member_state}
    </select>
</div>

I must be retarded or something but I have similar code and when a user goes to edit their profile the state drop down menu doesn’t stick to what was previously selected.

<select name="profile_addstate">
{select_profile_addstate}
<option value="{value}" {selected}>{value}</option>
{/select_profile_addstate}
</select> 

Help? grin

Never mind - just got it to work - formatting in the custom field was causing issues.
