    In the registration form I want to include Gender and my work was to integrate a template I had been given in HTML into Modx ... now, in the template, choosing gender was via radios ... something like this ...

              <label>Gender :  
            <span>*</span>
            <span class="error">[[+error.gender]]</span>
          </label>
          <ul>
            <li>
              <label for="male" class="radio_label">male</label>
              <input class="radio" 
                     type="radio" 
                     name="gender" 
                     id="male" tabindex="9" value="male" />
            </li>
            <li>
              <label for="female" class="radio_label">female</label>
              <input class="radio" 
                     type="radio" 
                     name="gender" 
                     id="female" tabindex="10" value="female" />
            </li>
          </ul>


    I need to get the male and female values to a placeholder such as [[+gender]] so that I can use it in a profile. Modx provides the [gender] field for user profiles so its not an extended profile.

    Now that we’ve got selects out of the way, if I can just figure this one out that would be it! Because checkboxes and radios work in the same way.

    Check out how FormIt does it ...


    <select name="color">
   <option value="blue" [[!+fi.color:FormItIsSelected=`blue`]] >Blue</option>
   <option value="red" [[!+fi.color:FormItIsSelected=`red`]] >Red</option>
   <option value="green" [[!+fi.color:FormItIsSelected=`green`]] >Green</option>
</select>

      It WORKED! But I must admit .. it was kinda a mistake

      This was my code ...

                <label for="employment">Employment : </label>
          <ul>
            <li>
              <label for="radio-choice-1" class="radio_label">Full-time</label>
              <input class="radio" type="radio" name="employment" id="radio-choice-1" tabindex="21" checked value="Full-time" />
            </li>

            <li>
              <label for="radio-choice-2" class="radio_label">Part-time</label>
              <input class="radio" type="radio" name="employment" id="radio-choice-2" tabindex="22" value="Part-time" />
            </li>
          </ul>


      When I called the [[+employment]] placholder it had been filled with the value e.g. Part-time or Full-time.

      AWESOME.
