I try to make a dropdown, but the text in the selection should be different from the value.

<select name="1enddate_Month">
<option label="January" value="01">January</option>
<option label="February" value="02">February</option>
<option label="March" value="03">March</option>
<option label="April" value="04">April</option>
<option label="May" value="05">May</option>
<option label="June" value="06">June</option>

<option label="July" value="07">July</option>
<option label="August" value="08">August</option>
<option label="September" value="09">September</option>
<option label="October" value="10">October</option>
<option label="November" value="11">November</option>
<option label="December" value="12" selected="selected">December</option>
</select>

I looked in the Api documentation but could not find the solution.
Can someone help please.

I tryed :

Code: Select all

$this->smarty->assign('input_month', $this->CreateInputDropdown($id, 'item_month', $month_list, '-1', '$month_number'));

The value is always the name of the month ($month_list = array) but should be the number.

Please help.

The CreateInputDropdown function has always been 'backwards'.

i.e:

Code: Select all

$data = array('January'=>'01','February'=>'02' ...);
$smarty->assign('monthdropdown',
   $this->CreateInputDropdown($id,'month',$data,-1,$the_month);
