within the update profile page is there a way to make the checkboxes be selected if previously selected and drop downs to show previously saved and selected values - especially for extended fields?

for example in the following - i can get it to save the extended values fine within a drop down however once selected and saved i would like it to continue displaying - once you click update profile it blanks all fields.

thanks.

ok that was ok for dropdowns is there a similar method for remembering checkboxes?

below just checks all... any ideas?

<input type="checkbox" name="language1written" value="[[+language1written]]" checked="[[+language1written]]"> Written
<input type="checkbox" name="language1spoke" value="[[+language1written]]" checked="[[+language1written]]"> Spoken
<input type="checkbox" name="languagelreading" value="[[+language1written]]" checked="[[+language1written]]"> Reading

worked this out eventually -

i created a snippet called checked1, checked2, checked2,

then for each of my options i called them;

<input type="checkbox" name="language1written" value="y" [[checked1]]> Written
<input type="checkbox" name="language1spoken" value="y" [[checked2]]> Spoken
<input type="checkbox" name="languagelreading" value="y" [[checked3]]> Reading

checked1 snippet;

<?php
$profile = $modx->user->getOne(’Profile’);

// get the array of extended user profile attributes
$extended = $profile->get(’extended’);

if ($extended[’language1written’] == "y"){
echo "checked";
$ProDesc =1;
echo " check box is". $ProDesc;
} else {
$ProDesc =0;
echo " check box is". $ProDesc;
}
