FEU - country selector

[macarrier]

Hi all!

I'm fairly new to cmsms and I'm trying to make my way around, without great success.

I'm looking for a way to implement a country selector in my FEU user property form.

First, I created a select field in my User Properties. Since there's a country table in my database, I also created a {countrylist} User Defined Tag to query the database and generate the options to my select field. Tho, when i put it my {countrylist} smarty tag inside my option list, it shows {countrylist} as a string, not as a smarty tag.

Is there a way inside the option list to force the use of smarty tag?

Thanks alot for your time.

You will need eval function for that field in your FEU Template.

thanks for your reply uniqu3. It led me on a solution but I'm still having trouble. Here's what I done so far:

-created my User Properties:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
$db =& $gCms->GetDB();
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM cms_module_cge_countries ORDER BY name';
$r = $db->Execute($sql);
$results = $r->GetRows();

if ($r) {
  foreach($results as $key => $value)
  {
    echo '<option value="'.$value['id'].'">'.$value['name'].'</option>';
    [b]// tried echo $value['name'].'='.$value['id']."\r\n"; but it created a singlew option will all my countries in it.[/b]
  }
} else {
  echo 'query failed';  
}

-afterward, created my field in FEU user property:
it's a dropdown list in I grabbed my User Property {countrylist} as my option.

-lastly, I modified my form template:
I change {$control->control} to {eval var=$control->control}

No, what happens is that my options in my country dropbox looks like this:

<option value="<option value="1">Afghanistan</option>[... up to ...]<option value="238">Zimbabwe</option>">

<option value="1">Afghanistan</option>[.... up to ....]<option value="238">Zimbabwe</option>

any ideas to prevent dupicating?
