radio/select-fields & pre selecting

hi there,

is it possible to create a radio/select field and "pre-select" one of the values?

we can "fake" it with a select-field, deactivating "use first field", so the first value will be pre-selected.
but... we need to preselect a value in the middle.

we use flexicontent 2.0.0 RC9a r1551 & joomla 2.5.8.

tnx for feedback,
afberlin

This is currently not available, try this:


1. Set a default value into the field "Default value" parameter

2. change in select.php:

lines:
to:
This will preselect default value if a value is not set

ok, thanks for this fast feedback & workaround.

will this be a feature for later?

Hello, did you test it?

yes, i did a quick test and it works perfect

I guess what happened is that you added a new select field in existing items , right?

and default value by default was used (selected) only for new items , right?

indeed, we added the select field in for existing items and the default value is only used for the new items.

i guess, here is no workaround (except going into phpmyadmin)

Actually for text field there is a parameter

"Default usage"

in which you can define that value is to be used instead of empty (when the field's display is created)

i guess this parameter could be added to select field too, but currently it is not available
