Dropdown Question Box for Create_account screen

[EricK]

New support thread for Dropdown Question Box for Create_account screen, as the contribution references a previous support thread that was "closed" by John Oligario.

 

I have the dropdown box installed, works great, and now would like to display the dropdown results on account_edit.php for each Customer to edit, if necesssary.

 

Problem is the dropdown will only display "Please Select", and I need it to display the customer's previously selected option, such as done by the country dropdown.

 

Here is the pull-down function in includes/functions/html_output.php

// Creates a pull-down list of sources
function tep_get_source_list($name, $selected = '', $parameters = '') {
$sources_array = array(array('id' => '999', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT));
$sources = tep_get_sources();

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($sources); $i<$n; $i++) {
$sources_array[] = array('id' => $sources[$i]['sources_id'], 'text' => $sources[$i]['sources_name']);
}

return tep_draw_pull_down_menu($name, $sources_array, $selected, $parameters);
}

 

How can we make the dropdown display the customer's previously selected option by default?

 

Thanks,

EricK

I have installed this contribution and its supposed to require an entry in the dropdown menu that it creates but I have been able to leave it as "please select" and moved through the checkout process.

 

I've added this to includes/languages/english.php:

define('ENTRY_SOURCE_ERROR', 'Please let us know where you heard about us.');

define('ENTRY_SOURCE_TEXT', '*');

 

 

My other problem with this is that it is not geared to work with PWA (purchase without account) mod. If anyone has any pointers or has installed this with pwa please PM me.
