Solspace User - Generating a Radio button from a custom member field

Question

Solspace's documentation seems to suggest I can generate a radio list from a customer member field if that member field is set to SELECT type.

This variable pair is a flexible method for creating pull-down menus, radio button arrays, etc. In the variable pair, you precede the short_name of the member field with select_ .Link to Documenation

However I cannot work out how to do it. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

In theory, you would do this:

{select_CUSTOM_MEMBER_FIELD}
    <label><input type="radio" name="CUSTOM_MEMBER_FIELD" value="{value}" {selected} /> Custom Member Field Label</label>
{/select_CUSTOM_MEMBER_FIELD}

However, since {selected} will output selected="selected", when what you actually need is checked="checked", I'm not sure how they figure this can be used for radio inputs. Maybe you can also use a variables named {checked} which will populate based on the current value?

Thanks to Derek's help I was able to work up a solution:

{select_CUSTOM_MEMBER_FIELD}
        <label><input type="radio" name="CUSTOM_MEMBER_FIELD" value="{value}" {checked} /> {value}</label>
    {/select_CUSTOM_MEMBER_FIELD}
