bp group meta

Hello everyone!
I would like to add a dropdown menu during the creation of groups.
I have found this code that works perfectly:<?php /* Plugin Name: Favorite Color Plugin URI: http://MyWebsite.com Description: Let Groups Pick their favorite Color Version: 1.0 Requires at least: 3.3 Tested up to: 3.3.1 License: GPL3 Author: Your Name Author URI: http://YourCoolWebsite.com */ function bp_group_meta_init() { function custom_field($meta_key='') { //get current group id and load meta_key value if passed. If not pass it blank return groups_get_groupmeta( bp_get_group_id(), $meta_key) ; } //code if using seperate files require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/buddypress-group-meta.php' ); // This function is our custom field's form that is called in create a group and when editing group details function group_header_fields_markup() { global $bp, $wpdb;?> <label for="favorite-color">My Favorite Color</label> <input id="favorite-color" type="text" name="favorite-color" value="<?php echo custom_field('favorite-color'); ?>" /> <br> <?php } // This saves the custom group meta – props to Boone for the function // Where $plain_fields = array.. you may add additional fields, eg // $plain_fields = array( // 'field-one', // 'field-two' // ); function group_header_fields_save( $group_id ) { global $bp, $wpdb; $plain_fields = array( 'favorite-color' ); foreach( $plain_fields as $field ) { $key = $field; if ( isset( $_POST[$key] ) ) { $value = $_POST[$key]; groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, $field, $value ); } } } add_filter( 'groups_custom_group_fields_editable', 'group_header_fields_markup' ); add_action( 'groups_group_details_edited', 'group_header_fields_save' ); add_action( 'groups_created_group', 'group_header_fields_save' ); // Show the custom field in the group header function show_field_in_header( ) { echo "<p> My favorite color is:" . custom_field('favorite-color') . "</p>"; } add_action('bp_group_header_meta' , 'show_field_in_header') ; } add_action( 'bp_include', 'bp_group_meta_init' ); /* If you have code that does not need BuddyPress to run, then add it here. */ ?>
The only thing is that I dont know much about php, and I can’t seem to change the <input id=”favorite-color” type=”text” name=”favorite-color” value=”<?php echo custom_field(‘favorite-color’); ?>” /> into a drop down menu where the value would be sent.
Could someone please give me some advice?
Many thanks!

Hi,
I also have the same question I have managed to display a dropdown box.
But now I’m looking for the solution to post and display the the ‘çountry’ value and display in the group header.[edited – please do not post large chunks of code. Use pastbin or gist and provide the url ]
Hello Leon,
This plugin would display the answer in the group header, might help:I’ve fixed it and now everything works fine.
Does anybody know how I can mark the field as ‘required’???[edited – please do not post large chunks of code. Use pastbin or gist and provide the url ]
Does anybody know how I can apply a validation rule to the ‘url’ field?
Thanks!
