thanks for your reply Bandit-X! i'd be cool if you explained how or at least where to do this cos unfortunately im not a coder. i have an idea of making a xoopsform element and i've tried it once but im not sure where to start when working on an edit user profile form.

Re: How do I put two dropdowns in one line in the Edit Profile form?

lets say i made this class.

class/xoopsform/formdualselect.php
class XoopsFormDualSelect extends XoopsFormElement
{

    var $_first;
    var $_second;

    function XoopsFormDualSelect($caption, $firstObj, $secondObj)
    {
        $this->_first = $firstObj;
        $this->_second = $secondObj;
        $this->setCaption($caption);
    }

    /**
     * Prepare HTML for output
     *
     * @return string HTML
     */
    function render()
    {
        $ele_name = $this->_first->getName();
        $ele_title = $this->_first->getTitle();
        $ele_value = $this->_first->getValue();
        $ele_options = $this->_first->getOptions();
        $ret = '<select size="' . $this->_first->getSize() . '"' . $this->_first->getExtra();
        if ($this->_first->isMultiple() != false) {
            $ret .= ' name="' . $ele_name . '[]" id="' . $ele_name . '" title="'. $ele_title. '" multiple="multiple">' ;
        } else {
            $ret .= ' name="' . $ele_name . '" id="' . $ele_name . '" title="'. $ele_title. '">' ;
        }
        foreach($ele_options as $value => $name) {
            $ret .= '<option value="' . htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES) . '"';
            if (count($ele_value) > 0 && in_array($value, $ele_value)) {
                $ret .= ' selected="selected"';
            }
            $ret .= '>' . $name . '</option>' ;
        }
        $ret .= '</select>';
        
        $ele_name = $this->_second->getName();
        $ele_title = $this->_second->getTitle();
        $ele_value = $this->_second->getValue();
        $ele_options = $this->_second->getOptions();
        $ret .= ' <select size="' . $this->_second->getSize() . '"' . $this->_second->getExtra();
        if ($this->_second->isMultiple() != false) {
            $ret .= ' name="' . $ele_name . '[]" id="' . $ele_name . '" title="'. $ele_title. '" multiple="multiple">' ;
        } else {
            $ret .= ' name="' . $ele_name . '" id="' . $ele_name . '" title="'. $ele_title. '">' ;
        }
        foreach($ele_options as $value => $name) {
            $ret .= '<option value="' . htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES) . '"';
            if (count($ele_value) > 0 && in_array($value, $ele_value)) {
                $ret .= ' selected="selected"';
            }
            $ret .= '>' . $name . '</option>' ;
        }
        $ret .= '</select>';
        
        return $ret;
    }

    /**
     * @seealso XoopsForm::renderValidationJS
     */
    function renderValidationJS()
    {
        //not finished.
        return '';
    }
}


i could use.
//load class file
include_once $GLOBALS['xoops']->path('class/xoopsform/formdualselect.php');    
    $dualDrop = new XoopsFormDualSelect('Something Cool',$umode_select,$uorder_select); //adding two xoopsselect obj to the element
    $form->addElement($dualDrop); //adding to the form


the above code is not tested well. (made it in like 10 minutes, but works). hopefully someone can build on it.

What do you not understand?
First block is a file to put in the class directory.
Second is example of how to use in form, where $umode_select,$uorder_select two formselects are, created and parmeterized before (code for that is not shown).

Ghia, thank you for your response.
I still don't understand the second part.
I want to put two or three dropdowns in one line in both edit profile and register form.

Where do I have to put this code to make it work?
include_once $GLOBALS['xoops']->path('class/xoopsform/formdualselect.php');
$dualDrop = new XoopsFormDualSelect('Something',$test1,$test2);
$form->addElement($dualDrop);

For the profile handling, it will take a lot more then for a custom form. Search for select_multi and XoopsFormSelect in the files of modules profile and system, then insert a similar piece of code for eg select_dual and XoopsFormDualSelect.

Seeing all that, I don't think it will be a good idea ...

Nice form class Bandit, I wa about to do the same myself when I was skimming this post until I saw that you had done it your self.

To make it simpler, I would have used the two select forms class forms and used div for positioning.

Maybe something like this:
<?php
xoops_load('XoopsFormElement');
class XoopsFormDualElement extends XoopsFormElement 
{ 

    var $_first; 
    var $_second; 

    function XoopsFormDualElement($caption, $firstObj, $secondObj) 
    { 
        $this->_first = $firstObj; 
        $this->_second = $secondObj; 
        $this->setCaption($caption); 
    } 

    /** 
     * Prepare HTML for output 
     * 
     * @return string HTML 
     */ 
    function render() 
    { 
        xoops_load('XoopsFormLabel');
        $ret = new XoopsFormLabel($this->getCaption(), $this->_first->render() . $this->_second->render());
        
         
        return $ret; 
    } 

    /** 
     * @seealso XoopsForm::renderValidationJS 
     */ 
    function renderValidationJS() 
    { 
        $ret = $this->_first->renderValidationJS() . $this->_second->renderValidationJS());
        return $ret; 
    } 
}
?>


Where first object and second object are instances of a XoopsFormElement. That way we could use more than select boxes.
