Adding Memberdata properties (as a select list)

by Espen Moe-Nilssen — last modified Mar 17, 2010 10:09 AM

Usercase: I had a site where everybody that joined should get a t-shirt. The T-shirts sizes might change later so be nice if it was OK to do this TTW

Add the property:

1) The property (tskjorte) has to be added to http://yoursite/portal_memberdata You probably want to add this as a string:

2) We want somewhere to store the selections (sizes in this case) that should be avalable. http://yoursite/portal_properties is a good place for this:

Bilde 1

Added property sheet (button on the right). I called it "kuliaden_properties"

( In case you wonder: the "memberdataexport_properties came from product "Memberdata csv exporter" that I use for exporting a list of members / t-shirt sizes etc. )

3) Add a property. Chose Type: Lines

4) Customize the join_form, you find it in http://yoursite/portal_skins/plone_login

and add the following lines:

______________________________________________________________________

<label for="tskjorte" i18n:translate="label_tskjorte">T-skjorte</label>

<span class="fieldRequired" title="Required"

i18n:attributes="title title_required;"

i18n:translate="label_required">(Required)</span>

Velg hstørrelse

</div>

<select name="tskjorte"

id="tskjorte'">

<tal:block tal:repeat="skjorte portal_properties/kuliaden_properties/tskjorte">

<option tal:condition="python:skjorte != 'None'"

value="None"

tal:attributes="value skjorte;"

tal:content="skjorte">

some text

</option>

</tal:block>

</select>

</div>

Just after email (see screenshot)

5) Customize the personalize_form. For some reason (?) you find it at http:/yoursite/portal_skins/plone_prefs/personalize_form

Add the following text:

______________________________________________________________________

<div class="field"

tal:define="tskjorte python:request.get('tskjorte',

member.getProperty('tskjorte',''))">

<label for="tskjorte" i18n:translate="label_tskjorte">T-skjorte størrelse</label>

<span class="fieldRequired" title="Required"

i18n:attributes="title title_required;"

i18n:translate="label_required">(Required)</span>

Velg størrelse på T-skjorten

</div>

<select name="tskjorte"

id="tskjorte"

tal:attributes="disabled python:member.canWriteProperty('tskjorte') and default or 'disabled'">

<tal:block tal:repeat="skjorte portal_properties/kuliaden_properties/tskjorte">

<option tal:condition="python:skjorte != 'None'"

value="None"

tal:attributes="value skjorte;

selected python:test(skjorte==tskjorte, 'selected', None);"

tal:content="skjorte">

some text

</option>

</tal:block>

</select>

</div>
