Hey there
I'm still trying to learn all of this and damn this is cool ****. Anyway, I installed the gender hack and was going to use it to install another profile select box. Then I saw the very cool CP tool for adding a field to the profile. It currently only allows you to add a input box. I decieded to modify it so I could add my select box from there. It wasn't very hard and the hack is pretty short.
Here it is in a nutshell
I added a textarea field to the add/edit profile field
if you want the new field to be a dropdown, you enter the dropdown values. each line represents a new option tag.
Ex. you want a new field called "sex" that is a drop down with
the choices male,female, and other.
Make the new field as usual.
Set Field Length. (1 would be a standard dropdown)
Set Maximum Input (I'd leave it at 250)
In the Select Box Items text area type
Male
Female
Other
each on it's own line.
If you like this hack, please check out this thread and give me some input
