Add a select field to the profile

Hey there

I'm still trying to learn all of this and damn this is cool ****. Anyway, I installed the gender hack and was going to use it to install another profile select box. Then I saw the very cool CP tool for adding a field to the profile. It currently only allows you to add a input box. I decieded to modify it so I could add my select box from there. It wasn't very hard and the hack is pretty short.


Here it is in a nutshell
I added a textarea field to the add/edit profile field
if you want the new field to be a dropdown, you enter the dropdown values. each line represents a new option tag.

Ex. you want a new field called "sex" that is a drop down with
the choices male,female, and other.

Make the new field as usual.
Set Field Length. (1 would be a standard dropdown)
Set Maximum Input (I'd leave it at 250)
In the Select Box Items text area type

Male
Female
Other

each on it's own line.

I'm interested in this as well....

I installed this and it works great outside of the control panel (when a user wants to change a profile field in his own user cp the drop down menu appears as it should).. But in the admin CP, when I go to 'add users', the custom field that I added does not show the drop down options.. It only shows an empty field just like the other profile fields there.. Any suggestions?

opps, I didn't change the cp. I'll get to it.

here's the newest file. I thought I had uploaded this already. sorry for the delay

NEW - add selections just like the last one, but now you can choose between input box, select box, or radio button.

great work Mutt

Thanks

Mutt, i'm not sure but the drop down menu is not working in register.php

when i enter the values
-
X
Y
Z

i get -XYZ in the register.php

Did i do something wrong?

Thanks

works great for me! this is one of the coolest hacks! but it will be even better when the dropdown lists and radio buttons appear in the admin cp under 'users --> add/find' ) I wish I knew how to add that feature myself, but I'm not too good with php yet

anyway keep up the good work Mutt!

I have a queston:

I got this error in my Admin CP when I edited a non-select or 'mutt' field in my custom profile fields editor.

Warning: Unlink failed (No such file or directory) in /web/pbc2/forums/admin/profilefield.php on line 107

The directory exists and I am able to create select fields....and there are even "X.file" files in the /admin/profile directory....but there are no "X.files" for the other custom profile fields....so the script gives me that error above.

I know...or I think and hope....this error is not a big deal. But I wanted to point it out.
