User Profile Field - get the option list from DB

[pthoff]

Hi

I have created a 'User Profile Field' as a Single-Selection Menu.
Is it possible to get the option list from a query/table and not as an static list in the 'User Profile Field Manager'?

I am using ver. 3.6.8.

I'd like to know how to do this as well, anybody know the answer? I'm using 3.8.3.

I'm interested in this as well. I'm somewhat savy in PHP but I'm not sure which file or template I would need to add the select statement to to populate the dropdown on the registration page.

For reference, I saw the code below posted elsewhere.

   //  Get Members
    $members = $db->query_read("
        SELECT user.email, user.userid, user.username " . iif((!empty($vbulletin->options['c_news_letter_field'])),",userfield." . $vbulletin->options['c_news_letter_field'] . "") . "
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
        " . iif((!empty($vbulletin->options['c_news_letter_field'])),"LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS userfield ON (userfield.userid = user.userid)") . "
        WHERE user.userid >= " . $vbulletin->GPC['startat'] . "     
        " . iif((!empty($vbulletin->options['c_news_letter_field']))," AND (userfield." . $vbulletin->options[c_news_letter_field] . " = '" . $vbulletin->options[c_news_letter_field_yes] . "' OR userfield." . $vbulletin->options[c_news_letter_field] . " = '')") . " 
        " . iif((!empty($vbulletin->GPC['usergroups'])), "AND user.usergroupid IN ('" . implode("','",$c_news_letter_filter_usergroups) . "')") . "
        ORDER BY user.userid ASC
        LIMIT " . $vbulletin->GPC['perpage']
    );
        
    while ($member = $db->fetch_array($members))

I've also seen this posted somewhere for VB4 and not sure if PHP code needs to be added like this for vb3.X :

<div class="desc">[php]<br />
$myvar = 'Hello World!';<br />
for ($<i></i>i = 0; \$i &lt; 10; \$i++)<br />
{<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;echo $myvar . &quot;\n&quot;;<br />
}<br />
[ /php]</div>

From the above, it looks like the PHP code is rendered with HTML and THEN rendered by the web server. ????
