eMember – Custom Fields Dropdown Required Field Question

[primated]

Hi,

When I add a custom Field Dropdown to the registration form and make it required it doesn’t quite work as there is always a value in the box, so it doesn’t require someone registering on the site to change the value. I tried adding a non-keyed value, but it didn’t show up.

Is there some way to add a value, such as ‘Please Select’ to the top of the dropdown field that will call the ‘Required Field’ reminder if a user does not change the value?

Thanks

We should be able to make some changes and add an option like that. I will get back to you once we make the changes.

Thank you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

We have enhanced the drop down custom field so it shows “Select One” as the first drop down. If a drop down field is set to “required” then the user has to select one of the drop down options to be able to proceed.

I just setup custom fields, but the default value is not showing up as “Select One.” Do we have to make some kind of changes to accomodate the new change?

[admin]

Did you choose the “Field Type” to be Dropdown List and entered the values in the “Extra Field Info” field like the following?

1=>Option One,2=>Option Two

Just to make sure that you updated the plugin correctly… what version number do you see for eMember in your plugins menu?

Yeah I setup the custom fields just like that. And the version I’m using is 8.1.0. Is that not the latest one?

Will we get automatic updates if a new update comes out or do we have to go to a URL and download it?

[admin]

This enhancement was just added to the plugin. Please get a new build of the plugin from here and you should get it:

Thanks again!

I just put in a request for the new build. I will let you know.

Thanks for the effort!
