I have a page where user can edit their profile settings. Data are read from db and displayed as default values for many fields like email, city, salutation, first name, last name etc...
But for country field I am getting the list from DB and always the first option is showed (in this case Afghanistan). How can I set this field to default value if user "preselected" the country before? For example if user selected and saved Germany before, I want this option to be shown as default, not Afghanistan.
{!!Form::open(array('url' => 'editUserProfile/'.$user->id, 'files' => true))!!}
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="firstName" value="{{$user->firstName}}" required>
<select class="form-control" name="country">
#foreach($countries as $country)
<option>{{$country->country_name}}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
{!! Form::close() !!}
How can I set $user->countryas default like for a first name?
Here's some code:
<select class="form-control" name="country">
#foreach($countries as $country)
<option value="{{$country->country_name}}" {{ $country->country_name == $user->country? ' selected' : '' }}>{{$country->country_name}}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
I added value attribute so as country name can be passed to server.
And added ternary operator for checking if current $country->country_name equals to $user->country.
This might help:
#foreach($countries as $country)
<option value="{{ $country->id }}" <?php if($user->country_id == $country->id){ echo "selected"; } ?> >{{$country->country_name}}</option>
#endforeach

Hye,
I want to get dropdown selected data.
For your information, my dropdown data is from my database. I already retrieve data from database and put it inside my dropdown.
Right now, I want to make validation. If user key in all information and forgot to key in 1 column data, the dropdown part should get the previous selected data right? So here are my coding, I still can get the previous selected data.
<div>
<x-label for="pizzatype" :value="__('Choose pizza type:')" />
<select name="pizzatype" id="pizzatype">
<option selected disabled>Please choose</option>
#foreach ($pizzainfo as $pizzaitem)
<option value="{{ old('$pizzaitem->name') }}">{{ $pizzaitem->name }}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
</div>
All dropdown button should get the selected previous button...
As I understand the problem is that you are trying to get an old() value that does not exist...
the quick fix is :
<select name="pizzatype" id="pizzatype">
<option #if(!old('pizzatype')) selected #endif disabled>Please choose</option>
#foreach ($pizzainfo as $pizzaitem)
<option #if(old('pizzatype') == $pizzaitem->name) selected #endif value="{{ $pizzaitem->name }}">{{ $pizzaitem->name }}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
I'm having a user registration form with a select field, When ever I get an error on the form user redirected to the form and display the previously entered values
I able to display old values for the text fields but I am finding it difficult to display old values for the select field,
My select field as follows,
<select id="app-subdomainsuffix" class="form-control #error('subDomainSuffix') is-invalid #enderror" name="subDomainSuffix" aria-required="true">
<option value="">- {{ __('sentence.Select domains') }} -</option>
<option value="test.site" >TEST.SITE</option>
</select>
I'm using laravel 7
First of all you need value for each option and i don't see any value for your first option.
Then you need a logic to check if the option was selected and assign "selected Attribute" to HTML :
<select id="app-subdomainsuffix" class="form-control #error('subDomainSuffix') is-invalid #enderror" name="subDomainSuffix" aria-required="true">
<option value="value1" #if(old('subDomainSuffix') == "value1") selected #endif >- {{ __('sentence.Select domains') }} -</option>
<option value="test.site" #if(old('subDomainSuffix') == "test.site") selected #endif >TEST.SITE</option>
</select>
Above example can just demonstrate how to select the option, but for cleaner code you better come with array of option as mentioned in this topic .
<option value="test.site" {{ (old("subDomainSuffix") == 'test.site' ? "selected":"") }}>TEST.SITE</option>
I'm working on validating my registration form.
If the input is a regular input, i can populate the previous value if it fails like so
<input type="tel" name="phone" value="{{old('phone')}}">
How do I populate the value on a select option?
<div class="input--select">
<label>Age Range <span>*</span></label>
<select name="age_range" class="age-range" value="{{old('age_range')}}" required>
<option selected disabled>Select your age range</option>
<option value="18-25">18-25</option>
<option value="26-35">26-35</option>
<option value="36-45">36-45</option>
<option value="46-55">46-55</option>
<option value="56-65">56-65</option>
<option value="66-75">66-75</option>
<option value="75+">75+</option>
</select>
#if ($errors->has('age_range')) <span class="error-message">Age range option is required.</span> #endif
</div>
I suggest putting all you ages in an array and pass that array to view:
$ages = ['18-25','25-50','50-75','75+']; // More dynamic and you can extend in anytime
Now changes in html :
<div class="input--select">
<label>Age Range <span>*</span></label>
<select name="age_range" class="age-range" value="{{old('age_range')}}" required>
// 1. first change which is creating your problem
<option {{ old('age_range') ? "" : "selected" }} disabled>Select your age range</option>
// 2. This is just optimization for short code
#foreach($ages as $age)
<option {{old('age_range') ==$age" ? $selected : ""}} value="{{$age}}">{{$age}}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
#if ($errors->has('age_range')) <span class="error-message">Age range option is required.</span> #endif
</div>
So in point 1 you are always applying the selected with first option.
Suppose your old value was 46-55
your html looks like :
<select name="age_range" class="age-range" value="{{old('age_range')}}" required>
<option selected disabled>Select your age range</option>
<option value="18-25">18-25</option>
<option value="26-35">26-35</option>
<option value="36-45">36-45</option>
<option selected value="46-55">46-55</option>
<option value="56-65">56-65</option>
<option value="66-75">66-75</option>
<option value="75+">75+</option>
</select>
if you take a look at above html there are 2 selected options. Html always picks the first one this is what creating the problem.
Point 1. will check if there is a old value available it will not apply the selected to the first placeholder option.
{!! Form::select('name', $varableyouwanttodisplay, old('name'),
['id'=>'id', 'class' => 'form-control select2', 'data-
placeholder' => 'select','required', 'style' => 'width:100%']) !!}
try like above code.
#php $selected = old('experience') ?: 66; #endphp
and than
{{ Form::select('experience', $experience, $selected, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
This works in a case when a blade template loads for the first time and doesn't have 'old' value and you need predefined selected option(I.e. 66) for that case.
This code "$countries = Facades\Countries::all();" returns the country code and code value like:
"DE" => "Germany"
I want to store the user country in the db when the user select the country in a select menu
<div class="form-group">
<label for="country" class="text-gray">Country</label>
<select class="form-control" name="country" id="country">
#foreach($countries as $key => $country)
<option value="{{$key}}">{{$country}}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
</div>
But with:
$user->country = $request->country;
$user-save();
In the db is stored "DE" but I want to store the country value like "Germany". Do you know how to based on the country code get the value so is possible to store the value and not the code?
In the db is stored "DE" but I want to store the country value like "Germany".
You just need to use as:
$countries = Facades\Countries::all();
$user->country = $countries[$request->country];
Just make sure that Facades\Countries::all() does not have performance impact, i guess it pulls out data from db.
OR
Other solution is to remove value attribute from option tag.
<option>{{$country}}</option>
try this, replace {{$key}} with {{$country}} in option
<div class="form-group">
<label for="country" class="text-gray">Country</label>
<select class="form-control" name="country" id="country">
#foreach($countries as $key => $country)
<option value="{{$country}}">{{$country}}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
</div>
Place country name in select options value as well. Replace {{$key}} with {{$country}}:
#foreach($countries as $country)
<option value="{{$country}}">{{$country}}</option>
#endforeach
I have a form where I put de id's of my bands table inside a select option. When I select an id in the dropdownlist and try to submit the form, the value always remains NULL. How can I retrieve the value I selected?
create.blade.php file :
<form>
<select name="band_id">
#foreach ($bands as $band)
<option value="{{ $band->band_id }}">{{ $band->band_id }}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
My Bandcontroller inside my store action :
$bands->band_id = $input['band_id'];
First of all you are using #foreach ($band as $band), make sure it's not a typo and if not then fix it (Could be $bands as $band and assumed you know what I mean). Anyways, you may also try this:
{{ Form::select('band_id', $bands, Input::old('band_id')) }}
Just pass the $bands variable to the View and Laravel will create the SELECT for you, you don't need to loop manually. To retrieve the value, you may try this:
$band_id = Input::get('band_id');
Laravel 6 or above
//blade
