Select list on front end form

ScottBoyde 3 May 2015 17:35 question, complete

Could you assist me with an example for a Select list on a form

I have the following on my form

{exp:low_variables:options var="lv_gender"}
{lv_gender}
{/exp:low_variables:options}

My lv_gender is a select type with two options Male and Female. I will pass selected from custom module tag, but the select list is not showing my two options.

Thanks

   Try using {lv_gender:data} and {lv_gender:label} instead of {lv_gender} inside the tag.

   Cheers, I had found that out and meant to reply earlier.
   
   I am using this with a custom module and want the saved option as the selected option, my field is gender from edit_player. How do I add that to the low_variables.
   
   {exp:clubmanager:edit_player
   id="{segment_3}"
   return="clubhouse/players"
   }
   
   {exp:low_variables:options var="lv_gender"}
   {lv_gender:data_label}
   {/exp:low_variables:options}
   
   {/exp:clubmanager:edit_player}

   You should be able to use {selected} for that, as per the docs: http://gotolow.com/addons/low-variabl...

   Sorry I copied in the wrong template code
   
   I am using the following
   
   {exp:low_variables:options var="lv_role"}
   {lv_role:data_label}
   {/exp:low_variables:options}
   
   I am using this with a custom module I am building and would like this one to have {gender} from the custom module as the initial value of the selected option, can I do that.

   You could perhaps a conditional? {if gender == lv_role:data}selected{/if}

   That's it many thanks.
   
   Is it possible for me to use low variables and wygwam as a field type in my custom form and get and save its contents to one of its fields.
   
   I have a field called profile that I would like to have a wysiwyg for but not sure how to get it on a form through a custom module

   Front-end forms are not supported by LV, but you could go ahead and make it yourself. But, again, that's not supported by me.

   I have form built and working and the above helped with a couple of selects I have.
   
   Just thought I might be able to use the low variables wygwam for another field.
   
   But many thanks for the help so far I will look for an alternative for this field.

   You woundn't have any pointers as to where I should look to get wysiwyg on a textarea in a template that's not using channels
