I put this in here, because it's something that I'm tinkering around with that's part of the Signup / Profile bits of the Membership Plugin.
I am curious if it is possible by including bits into the URL, to automatically Select an Option from a list.
I realize that the Signup and Profile pages use POST, not GET, so that's kinda out the window.
I want to take a select list (prefreably a multi-select), created in the CMS, and then by passing a URL string through/to it, auto-magically have certain options selected.
I need to figure out a way to remove the capability of the user (who is signing up) from the form, and hopefully pass the pre-selected options on to the form. This way they'll be sent to the form, and Options will be pre-selected, but they won't be able to change those options (unless they get really good at guessing the URL bits).
My first thought was perhaps to create a Multi-List section exclusively for the options that I wish pre-selected.
Then in the User Accounts section have the Options populate from the Multi-List Section editor. Then maybe try to use URL querying to select the options I want... but I'm still not sure how to keep the options selected when we POST the form.... >.< I'm confused. [crazy]
I'm trying to figure out a way to have certain options dynamically pre-selected with out resorting to statically coding the Options list and having certain ones have selected="selected" ya know? That's the whole point of it all, being able to be dynamic.
