Okay. So do you know how it’ll output that when the field is called in the View User Profile page? I was thinking of using this for a list of clubs/fanlistings a user is a member of, once HTML is allowed in inputHandler, hence why I’m asking. It’ll also be useful for the collection/wishlist stuff, like I mentioned earlier.
BTW, I replied to your PM, and sent an extra one w/ something I forgot to put in the first one.
Good point. Maybe it would be better for me to store it in the database as a comma separated list. That way on the view user page, when it outputs the value of "favorite_cars" it will display:
Ferrari,Lamborghini,peugeot
instead of:
Ferrari||Lamborghini||peugeot
I simply used double pipes because I thought it would be less likely to be a value stored than a comma would? Now that I think about it, a comma would be a rather uncommon occurrence in a <select multiple>.
BTW, I got your PMs and I will give a personal response to them ASAP. I truly appreciate your feedback. I think you and I have very different expectations for WebLoginPE, so it is crucial that you keep me informed so we can keep this as universally useful as possible.

I was just thinking. What would keep someone from using the WebloginPE to initially create an account entering in what ever USER info is needed in the attributes and extended attributes (or what ever you name it) database tables.
AFTER this account is created have ANOTHER page calling ANOTHER call to the snippet to ANOTHER extra database to do a proper id / name look up table for this type of example.
Basically what I am saying: this appears to be modular, so lets leave it that way.
Have a form for the general contact into (you probably don’t want being changed much anyway), and another form which still uses the main info ( not necessarily the extended), but has the games (or whatever) attached to it.
basically user 1 and a user 2 in the new table would merely be
(Field 1) (Field 2)
USER ID GAME
1 Crysis
1 Quake 4
1 Unreal27
2 Pong
2 Myst
I’m not sure how much of this should be in the scope of WebloginPE and how much of it should actually fall on the shoulders of the site designer / webmaster / owner/ whatever
