Author Topic: Allow users to add items to a select list? (Read 593 times)

Here is my use case: An event registration page where users pick a team to join, or create a new team to add to the select list.

I tried using CiviCRM webform integration so allow users to create new teams, with the form adding a CiviCRM custom fieldset and profile. The team name is a text field for data entry, but d I can't get that to render as select field when I use it in the event registration page.

What is the best way to accomplish this?

I don't think I have enough info about what you're trying to do to tell you the "best way." Is a team an organization? Or is it just a custom textfield? Are you doing event reg within the webform?
The webform "select or other" module might be helpful to you.
You can replace a textfield with a select by deleting the textfield component, then adding a select component with exactly the same form key.

You can potentially do that via a hook. Check:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmcustomFieldOptions

and use that hook to populate the select box. Note that since you are using a Text field there will be issues of duplicates etc, so you might want to implement a validate hook in the webform to ensure all teams have unique names
