I am trying to develop a competition entry form for our photographic website where the drop down list of possible entry classes is different for public viewers and registered members.

Eg If a user is logged in then the items in the select list are A, B, C & D but if the user is not logged in then only items A,B are displayed.

I am sure this is possible using the form on display script but I have no idea how.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You can use a script similar to this one in the Items box of the drop-down field in order to populate the drop-down list with different items for registered/not registered users:
//<code>
$items='1,2,3,4,5';
$isRegistered = $RSadapter->user();
if(!empty($isRegistered['id']))
{
$item_array=str_replace(",","\n",$items);
return $item_array;
}
else
{
$items='1,2,3';
$item_array=str_replace(",","\n",$items);
return $item_array;
}
//</code>

The first string '1,2,3,4,5' are the five items with which the drop-down list is populated if the user is registered. If the user is not registered the list is populate with the second string '1,2,3' .

Please note that the //<code> and //</code> tags are mandatory.
