Hello All,

I am working on customizing a form for a client, and it means that I have to be able to add an arbitrary number of select fields to the underlying form. The use case is that I am allowing a person signing up for membership to join a chapter at the same time. I am indicating chapters by assigning "Chapter" to the contact sub type field in the db, and I can get the list easily using the api.

I can create a group of radio buttons that lists the various chapters, but there are options for signing up that the client wants presented as select menus. I can't seem to figure out how to add an arbitrary number of select fields to the form. I tried to add the select objects to an array and have the array processed in a custom template file, but Smarty complained that it couldn't handle an array of Quick Form select objects.

Has anyone done something like this in the past? Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Quint

Hey Lobo - thanks for the pointer. I can't pass an array of select objects directly, but I can index into the array with the entry name and use a loop in smarty to process the array. It worked like a charm
