User registration extra field with multiple selection

[magicosta]

Hi,

I would like to use extra field "extra3" in userjoin.tpl as a list with several possible choices where users can enter the different languages they speak. I have put the following code:

{if $dis_extra3=="Y"}
<p class="{cycle values="row1,row2" advance=true}">

<label for="extra">{if $req_extra3=="Y"}<span class='required'>{$smarty.const.LANG_STAR}</span>{/if}{$extra3_text}{$smarty.const.LANG_COLON}</label>

<select name="extra3[ ]" id="extra3" type="text" multiple="multiple" size="5"/ >
<option value="English">English</option>
<option value="Spanish">Spanish</option>
<option value="French">French</option>
<option value="German">German</option>
<option value="Italian">Italian</option>
<option value="Portugese">Portugese</option>
<option value="Danish">Danish</option>
<option value="Russian">Russian</option>
<option value="japonese">Japonese</option>
<option value="Chinese">Chinese</option>
<option value="Flamish">Flamish</option>
<option value="Dutch">Dutch</option>
<option value="Arabic">Arabic</option>
</select>

</p>
{/if}

The question is: What code do I have to change to see their different choices in administration/users.php

Thank you for your help

I believe that you would need to change two template files, users_add.tpl and users_info.tpl. These would both be in administration/templates/default/users. You would need to add the same coding as you did on the front end.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I don't understand exactly what you mean. If I add the same code in users_add.tpl and users_info.tpl it will display just the same list as the users see when they register on userjoin.php.

it will not give the result of the different selection they have done if they select more than two languages.

I thought the code to change was in userjoin.php but I have tryed a lot of things and it doesn't work.

What do you think?

I think the problem is the data isnt being stored in the database to begin with. The select is defined to allow multiple selections. These are passed to the underlying script as an ARRAY but the underlying script I bet is not set up to use an array.

So your first issue of business is to modify the target script of the form to properly handle the array sent to it and get it into the database.
