If I wish to place default values in the registration fields (e.g - Username) - which page do I add the values to?
I can't seem to find it on the register.asp page, thereofore it must be on one of the included pages...
Thanks |

inc_profile.asp
It's a bit more complex than it was for 3.3.x so be careful and test it before you put it live  |

Boy you wern't kidding 
FrutZle, could you give me an example on how I would modify the code to make the default value for the Username appear as 'Jim'.
Thanks for you time. |

look for if strMode = "Register" then and add the text you want in the textbox by default as value=""yourtext"" where you replace yourtext with the text you want in the textbox.
You will want to add the text you put in the username field to be in the "username filter" to prevent anyone from using it as their username though Also, checking for those default values on register.asp (that's used when the form is submitted) and then giving an error when the field contains the default value when it's a required field (for example the email field), or not writing the info into the database if it's not a required field (for example the "bio" or "signature" fields), would be a good idea. |

Okay - so I am trying to place a default value in the password field. THis value is to be requested from a cookie. Currently I have used the following code:
quote:
<input name=""Password"" size=""25"" maxLength=""25"" value=""&Request.cookies('Spooky')('T2aPd')"">
But this seems to display the value quote:
Request.cookies('Spooky')('T2aPd')
when the page is loaded. How do I make it read it as .asp code? so it actually displays the password from the cookie?
Thanks! |

value=""" & Request.Cookies("Spooky")("T2aPd") & """> |

Okay almost there now - promise
I have my default fields working with cookies for the two password fields, and the second email. The first email .asp code is different though. How do I add a default email address to this code:
quote:
<input name=""Email"" size=""25"" maxLength=""50"" value="""
if strMode <> "Register" then Response.Write(ChkString(rs("M_EMAIL"), "display"))
Response.Write """>" & vbNewLine & _
Many thanks for all this |

<input name=""Email"" size=""25"" maxLength=""50""
if strMode <> "Register" then
Response.Write " value=""" & ChkString(rs("M_EMAIL"), "display")) & """>" & vbNewline
else
Response.Write ">" & vbNewLine
end if
This inserts the default value when you're not registering. You can add the value part with a default text in the second Response.Write if you want a default value when someone is registering. |

quote:
vbNewline
else
Response.Write ">" & vbNewLine
end if
This is getting a tad confusing, because I cant actually find this code (the 2nd response.write) you show above.... Please could you give me the whole email section code chunk, and highlight where I bung the value tag in.
many thanks |

Compare:
<input name=""Email"" size=""25"" maxLength=""50"" value="""
if strMode <> "Register" then Response.Write(ChkString(rs("M_EMAIL"), "display"))
Response.Write """>" & vbNewLine & _
vs.
<input name=""Email"" size=""25"" maxLength=""50""
if strMode <> "Register" then
Response.Write " value=""" & ChkString(rs("M_EMAIL"), "display")) & """>" & vbNewline
else
Response.Write ">" & vbNewLine
end if
I see quite a difference. For example, you can now easily add a default value when someone registers by adding value=""something"" to the line in red which you didn't have in the original code. Secondly, it looks more readable  |

Here is my current email code:
quote:
<input name=""Email"" size=""25"" maxLength=""50""
if strMode <> "Register" then
Response.Write " value=""" & ChkString(rs("M_EMAIL"), "display")) & """>" & vbNewline
else
Response.Write ">" & vbNewLine
end if
But with this I seem to get a Unterminated string constant error:
/buffy/forum/inc_profile.asp, line 72
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><input name=""Email"" size=""25"" maxLength=""50""

| well you only showed me a part of your code. Try adding " to the end of the first line (the one ending with maxlength=""50"") |

I thought I did show you all of the code (I haven't added the default value yet, just trying to rid the errors first!). Anyways, my errors seem to be going round in circles, any chance I could send you the inc_profile.asp page for you to take a peek at If you have the time to do this that would be great, many thanks |
