Please replace the ??? with your data!

  • URL to the FORM: Not public yet
  • The browser used: Firefox
  • cforms version: 11
  • Your Wordpress version: 2.8.4

I have a select box with all the countries of the world, I am detecting the user's country by their IP range and want to pre-select the relevant country.

Preselection via post or get is working, but I do not want each page to forward this variable.

This is what I have tried for the option rows:

1. $fields['label'][4]  = "Country|Default#country1#country2#country3#country4";

2. $fields['label'][4]  = "Country|Default#country1|country1#country2|country2…";

it did not seem that selects use default vals like the above so I looked in the code and tried:

3. $fields['label'][4]  = "Country#country1|country1#country2|set:country2…";

I could just re-sort my form so that the default value appears first, but then I do not know the answer.

Thanks

(and if this has been covered elsewhere I apologise but I have searched extensively)

It is very possible, just look at the options when editing a select field using the "edit field dialog wizard", producing this config string for the field:

test#a|1#b|2|set:true#c|3

Thanks so much, I was so close!

Because I did not even consider using that interface I did not see that. Perhaps some mention could be made on the Help page in the plugin regarding this?
