Re: Trick 2: Profile field dropdown select boxes without modifying core code
By all means, post it to the list!
If you get really interested, one idea would be to fork DadaMail on github, and publish your changes there,
- I just saw this Well, right now I am working on ways to achieve some desired functionality without changing the core code Obviously, changing the core code is the proper way but, given time and resources, I figured I would go this route I have attached the javascript as a txt file and a sample data file with a profile field I added named 'salutation' I have tested it on IE and Firefox and leveraged basic javascript from examples I found that dated at least 5 years old The only caveat is that I used jquery to obtain the data file so you have to add the jquery to the list_template tmpl I will change that so it is not necessary
Add the javascript to the end of the template before the close body tag Update the url value in the javascript to point to your data file It simply runs through the page, identifies any form that has the custom profile field in it, and changes it to a select, leaving any previously filled out values as selected If you add it to the end of the admin template, it will change admin forms as which will change the partial list sending text boxes to select boxes for applicable profile fields
I know it is not optimal but it works Since I have never been married to any code I have written, should anyone have some improvements or other ideas, just make the changes and tell me, or not :)
Hope this is useful to someone
