Defaulting the Registration Module Country field

[ramjet]

I have two Member Groups that can be signed up to.
In one of them ONLY (Schoolmembers) I would like the Registration Forms "Country" select-menu to default to New Zealand.
Any idea how I can go about this?
Thanking you

Hi Ramjet,

Did you get this taken care of? I'm looking to do the same thing for one of our registration forms but I want it to default to the United States.

I did it with a createNewUser hook in the module I wrote

hook registered in the module config

//HOOK TO Fill in schoolsearch userid field with tl_member id on new signup, and fill COMPULSORY country field with "new zealand" On Signup
$GLOBALS['TL_HOOKS']['createNewUser'][] = array('SchoolRegHook', 'createNewUser');

the hook (SchoolRegHook.php) in the module root

class SchoolRegHook extends Backend
{  

	//HOOK TO Fill in schoolsearch userid field with tl_member id on new signup, also to automatically fill members country with nz in member
    public function createNewUser($intId, $arrData)
	{
			//check the nzqaid exists in tl_school_schools	
			$checknzqaid = $this->Database->prepare("SELECT nzqaid from tl_school_schools WHERE nzqaid=?")
										->limit(1)
										->execute($arrData['schoolnzqaid']);	
			//if the nzqaid exists in the database 
	        if($checknzqaid->numRows > 0)
			{
			
					// update tl_school_schools userid with the value of member id number
					//set multiplelocations_allow to '', which will prevent new signup of 'child' school using 'parents' Active Link
					$this->Database->prepare("UPDATE tl_school_schools SET multiplelocations_allow = '',userid=? WHERE nzqaid=?")
										->limit(1)
										->execute($intId,$arrData['schoolnzqaid']);
					//automatically fill members country with nz in member										
					$this->Database->prepare("UPDATE tl_member SET country='nz' WHERE id=?")
										->limit(1)
										->execute($intId);	
						
			}

							

	}




}

but you may be able to also do it within an if in system/config/dcaconfig.php (untested)

if($objGroup->name == 'School Members')
{
//$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_member']['fields']['country']['eval']['mandatory'] = true;
$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_member']['fields']['country']['default'] = 'us';
}

Thanks ramjet, that worked great!

For anyone else:
I actually didn't need the extra code ramjet used for the two Member Groups. I wanted to make all my registration forms default to the United States.

To do this, you can put this one line in your dcaconfig file:

$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_member']['fields']['country']['default'] = 'us';
