FormItIsSelected not working

I've got my FormIt template and code up and running. Everything works fine (error handling, email submission, etc.), except for the select box. When an error occurs in the form, FormItIsSelected doesn't select anything. Here's the code:

<select name="num_bedrooms" value="[[!+fi.num_bedrooms]]">
	<!--<option disabled selected>Desired Apartment Size</option>-->
	<option value="">Desired Apartment Size</option>
	<option value="one" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:FormItIsSelected=`one`]]>One Bedroom</option>
	<option value="two" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:FormItIsSelected=`two`]]>Two Bedrooms</option>
	<option value="three" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:FormItIsSelected=`three`]]>Three Bedrooms</option>				
</select>

and the FormIt Snippet:

[[!FormIt?
	&hooks=`spam,email,redirect`
	&emailTpl=`contactEmailTpl`
	&emailTo=`[email protected]`
	&redirectTo=`8`
	&validate=`spam1:required,
	  spam2:required,
	  email:email:required`
]]

Does anyone know what's wrong? Thanks.

Hey, try this

<select name="num_bedrooms" value="[[!+fi.num_bedrooms]]">
    <!--<option disabled selected>Desired Apartment Size</option>-->
    <option value="">Desired Apartment Size</option>
    <option value="one" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`one`:then=`selected`]]>One Bedroom</option>
    <option value="two" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`two`:then=`selected`]]>Two Bedrooms</option>
    <option value="three" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`three`:then=`selected`]]>Three Bedrooms</option>                
</select>

    <!--<option disabled selected>Desired Apartment Size</option>-->
    <option value="">Desired Apartment Size</option>
    <option value="one" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is="`one`:then=`selected`]]">One Bedroom</option>
    <option value="two" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is="`two`:then=`selected`]]">Two Bedrooms</option>
    <option value="three" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is="`three`:then=`selected`]]">Three Bedrooms</option>                
</select>

I'm sorry, I am now seeing some errors.

This

<select name="num_bedrooms" value="[[!+fi.num_bedrooms]]">

is incorrect.

It should be like

<select name="num_bedrooms" >

Full Code

<select name="num_bedrooms">
    <option value="" disabled selected>Desired Apartment Size</option>
    <option value="one" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`one`:then=`selected`]]">One Bedroom</option>
    <option value="two" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`two`:then=`selected`]]">Two Bedrooms</option>
    <option value="three" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`three`:then=`selected`]]">Three Bedrooms</option>                
</select>

Hopefully I got it right this time around but it should work.

i'm seeing additional quotes in the code

<select name="num_bedrooms">
    <option value="" disabled selected>Desired Apartment Size</option>
    <option value="one" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`one`:then=`selected`]] >One Bedroom</option>
    <option value="two" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`two`:then=`selected`]] >Two Bedrooms</option>
    <option value="three" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`three`:then=`selected`]] >Three Bedrooms</option>                
</select>

This should do it

Still doesn't work. Is this a problem with FormIt? I'm using version 2.2.0.

    <option value="three" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is="`three`:then=`selected`]]">Three Bedrooms</option>                
</select>

This should do it

P.S. When I add value="[[!+fi.num_bedrooms]] to the select tag it comes up with the selected option value. Weird!

That code has additional quotation marks. That's why it is not working. Please use code below.

<select name="num_bedrooms">
    <option value="" disabled selected>Desired Apartment Size</option>
    <option value="one" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`one`:then=`selected`]] >One Bedroom</option>
    <option value="two" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`two`:then=`selected`]] >Two Bedrooms</option>
    <option value="three" [[!+fi.num_bedrooms:is=`three`:then=`selected`]] >Three Bedrooms</option>                
</select>

Modx has its own built in operators. That is what I'm using. Just tested it and it works.

Still no dice. I'm chalking it up to a FormIt bug. I've encountered a couple others in this latest version. Thanks anyway for your help!

Hi

There is a bug in the FormItIsSelected and FormItIsChecked snippets see tracker http://bugs.modx.com/issues/9876 and the changed code can be seen here for FormItIsChecked on github https://github.com/splittingred/FormIt/pull/82/files applying the same change to FormItIsSelected will fix that too.

Regards
Keith
