[support] Setting Multiselect Default Values

[Metzler, David]

I think it's premature to file a bug.  I verified the correct behavior
in my drupal 7 innstance.  #multiple does work correctly.   I had
initially looked at the wrong procedure, so I got misled by the return
of a closely named procedure. 

 

Change line 91 to read: 

 

$servers[] = $record->servername; 

 

 

Also you can add  before the return 

drupal_set_message(print_r($servers,1)); 

 

just as you return $servers so that you can verify that you're getting
the data back correctly. 

 

 

Finally I couldn't help but notice that gatt_all_servers_assoc is
getting data  $record->name, but at 91, you're pulling
$record->servername.   Is this in error?

I understand. However, I'm not setting the default value directly from
db_query. I'm setting it as you suggested, but I'm not seeing the
correct result. That is the issue. Even though I'm setting it as
everyone has suggested, I'm still not seeing them selected by default. 

I also understand that I should run the submitted values through
array_filter.  That's not the issue. 

Let me know if or how I should file a bug report. 

Thanks,

PS.

IT's important to know that what you get back in your submit handler for
$formstate['values']['new_server']is an array of all of the servers and
wheter they are selected.  In the case where SERVER01 and SERVER02 are
selected you'll get back the array:

Array(
 'SERVER01' => 'SERVER01',
 'SERVER02' => 'SERVER02',
 'SERVER03' => 0,
 'SERVER04' => 0,
 'SERVER05' => 0
);




You will not get back string data as your code seems to be expecting.

Hey Fellow Drupalers,

I'm trying to set the '#default_value' property to a select form
element that has '#multiple' set to TRUE. Below you will find a link
to the source and a link to a screenshot. I've tried setting
'#default_value' to:

[values]
array('SERVER01')
array('SERVER01' => 'SERVER01')
array(1)
array('1')
1
'SERVER01'
[/values]

But nothing sets the default value of the select form element. The
'#options' element is set to (verbatim from var_export): array (
'SERVER01' => 'SERVER01', 'SERVER02' => 'SERVER02', 'SERVER03' =>
'SERVER03', 'SERVER04' => 'SERVER04', 'SERVER05' => 'SERVER05', )

Links:

Code: https://t.co/ETl4MtgV

The code in question is line 105 of vulnscan.admin.inc

Let me know what I should do. I'm running drupal 7.11-dev (git
checkout of Drupal codebase, set to the 7.x branch).

Thanks,

Shawn
