xml drop down menu

In a vB xml how do you program a drop down menu with 3 default values

PHP Code:


		
			
<setting varname="var" displayorder="130">

    <datatype>free</datatype>

    <optioncode>textarea</optioncode>

    <defaultvalue>vbulletin.org</defaultvalue>

</setting>

E.G: above is for a text area.

You really shouldn't be editing XML files directly, you should enable Debug Mode and build your XML files with the interfaces provided.

Interfaces provided? I'm writing a plugin product from scratch? Are you saying there is an easier way?

PHP Code:


		
			
<setting varname="var" displayorder="10">

    <datatype>free</datatype>

    <optioncode>select:piped

option1|var_option1

option2|var_option1

option3|var_option1

</optioncode>

    <validationcode><![CDATA[return in_array($data, array('option1', 'option2', option3'));]]></validationcode>

    <defaultvalue>option1</defaultvalue>

</setting>

I found the answer after taking another plugin to pieces ^^ Just incase anyone else is looking.

I have always turned on debug mode and then added the setting into the vboptions area and set them to be used with my plugin. Then when you export your plugin/product, all the settings get exported with it (instead of you having to write them manually like you are).
