auto fill fields

[i.edwards384429]

Hi

trust you all had a good amd sober holiday :-)

Ok, I'm missing something simple but...

In the attached two files , registration and user profile I've added four choice fields ( yes I sometime surprise myself)

And to my even greater surprise from the registration page they populate the database!!!..

But when I load up the user profile the fields, age, sex, ethnicity and area do not load up the values from the database but default to the first entry in the choice list.

All the other fields (that you created ) do retain the values. So where have I missed som e code?

thanks

Ian

Ian,
I am more of a hand coder, so I dont know how to accomplish what you want using the wizards, but look in code view on users_Profile.php at one of the select menus that is working correctly (country)

This part:
<?php if (!(strcmp("US", (isset($_GET['valid'])?ValidatedField("usersProfile","UserCountry"):$row_WAATKusers['UserCountry'])))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>

tells if that entry should be selected by default. In plain english, it says if there is 'valid' in the querystring (ie if this form has been submitted), then compare the value to the validated entry ValidatedField("usersProfile","UserCountry") , otherwise, compare the value to the database entry $row_WAATKusers['UserCountry']

If you look at the age meun, all you see is :
<?php if (!(strcmp("0-10", (ValidatedField("usersRegistration","Userage"))))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>

which only compares the value to the validated entry (or if not validated, the first one in the list).
That needs to be changed to something like this:
<?php if (!(strcmp("0-10", (isset($_GET['valid'])?ValidatedField("usersProfile","Userage"):$row_WAATKusers['Userage'])))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>

This needs to be done for each option tag in the 3 select menus you added (age, sex and ethnicity).

Does that make sense at all?

I apologize if I made this more complicated than it really is, but I think and work more in code view, than in design view with the wizards :-)

As you will gather this is an ongoing project that comes under the heading of oopps think I might of bitten off more than I can chew- at least the client is patient

thanks again
