radio/select-fields & pre selecting was created by weCombine

hi there,

is it possible to create a radio/select field and "pre-select" one of the values?

we can "fake" it with a select-field, deactivating "use first field", so the first value will be pre-selected.
but... we need to preselect a value in the middle.

we use flexicontent 2.0.0 RC9a r1551 & joomla 2.5.8.

tnx for feedback,
afberlin

This is currently not available, try this:

1. Set a default value into the field "Default value" parameter

2. change in select.php:

lines:

Code:

// initialise property
if($item->version < 2 && $default_value) {

to:

Code:

// initialise property
if( !isset($field->value[0]) && $default_value) {

This will preselect default value if a value is not set

I guess what happened is that you added a new select field in existing items , right?

and default value by default was used (selected) only for new items , right?
