Hello All,

I must be doing something wrong. I'm trying to add a few countries to a dropdown selection list in the Extended Profiles module. I add the field and select the default but the default is not sticking. The field type is "select" value type is "array". The default seems to work on other field types. I've tried this in two different MySQL versions on two XOOPS sites and the same thing happens. The default is showing in the database but it is not displayed as the default in the dropdown. We are US based so we'd like US to be the default but Canada is the one it defaults to. Is there a way to fix this?

On another note, is there another way to go about adding a dropdown list of countries and/or states to the extended profiles module? Perhaps someone has already made a hack and I haven't come across it yet?

Thanks in advance!

Hi m0nty,

I'm assuming this has to do with adding countries. This would be good to know for future use but I actually only need to add a few countries now so this might be a bit overboard if it is something that adds all countries...?

I'm really just needing to make the item selected as the default actually show up as the default. Is this not possible?

i dunno.. i'm sure it's possible tho, just that i don't know how as i'm not familiar with XOOPS 2.2 profile module and how it creates it's fields.. i stopped using XOOPS 2.2 a long while ago.

Any advice on how I can make the selected default display properly in the registration page?

I guess I just didn't understand how this worked. I found out that if I use field type "select" and value type "text field" the default will set properly.

So much to learn... so few cells left to retain.
