Default Values not being Entered
Anyone seen a problem whereby the default value for a field is ignored? Here's my relevent config. The problem I'm having is with the received mail field. All new users are having a null value put in by default.
Code:
db_def = (
'FirstName' => [0, 'alpha', 20, 255, 1, '', ''],
'LastName' => [1, 'alpha', 20, 255, 1, '', ''],
'Email' => [2, 'alpha', 20, 255, 0, '', '.+@.+..+'],
'HomeNumber' => [3, 'numer', 20, 255, 0, '', '\d{1}'],
'WorkNumber' => [4, 'numer', 20, 255, 0, '', '\d{1}'],
'Mobile' => [5, 'numer', 20, 255, 0, '', '\d{1}'],
'CurrentJob' => [6, 'alpha', '40x5', 1000, 0, '', ''],
'ID' => [7, 'alpha', -1, 255, 0, '', ''],
'UserID' => [8, 'alpha', -1, 255, 0, '', ''],
'Receive Mail' => [9, 'alpha', -1, 255, 0, 'Yes', 'Yes|No']
);

Thanks

If you are not using auto-generate, make sure that your fields in the sub html_record routine look like the following:

Code:

<input type="TEXT" name="FieldName" value="$rec{'FieldName'}">


AND for TEXTBOXES, use the following codes:

Code:

<textarea name="FieldName" ROWS="8" COLS="40" MAXLENGTH="255">$rec{'FieldName'}</textarea>

Cheers. That fixed it straight away. I added the line

<input type="hidden" NAME="Receive Mail" VALUE="$rec{'Receive Mail'}">
and it all started working.

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome...However, why are keeping the ReceiveEmail field hidden??? How are your users going to choose whether they want email messages or not??
