I've seen people convert radio buttons from the membership options to a dropdown but what about doing the same for the additional fields. This is very, very necessary since there is no option that is space efficient in additional fields if you want a user to just select one item. Would love to either convert radio to a dropdown (radio is mostly useless to me) or add the type to the list of additional field types.
You already can display additional fields as dropdowns aMember CP -> Add fields -> Edit field -> Display type -> select(single value)
Alexander - it is not displaying as a dropdown. It shows as a very long list like multiple select but you can only select one item. So if you have 12 options in there they are listed in a big long box. If you make the box smaller you have to use a scrollbar to view the rest. Very awkward. When I mean a dropdown box I mean a dropdown slect from what appears to be just one fieldwhich actually drops down with all the selections visible and you can select one. Is it possible that I might be doing something wrong? It's what I'm seeing.
Alex - I solved the problem. You have a bug in the code, at least IMHO it is. If you want to remove the big select area from a single select (personal choice I guess) you need to remove: size="{$f.size|default:1}" in the add_field.inc.html template and it works like a charm!!!
Actually, I don't think it's a bug. If you edit the custom field, and change "Size of input field" to 1, then it appears as a dropdown. At least, that worked for me!
Just tested this in chrome as well. If you change field size to 1 in ammeber CP -> Add fields -> Edit it display dropdown list without a problem.
