Possbile to list all options (and set current selected option)

[louisstephens]

I have a Select options field in a template, and I was wondering if it is possible to get all the options from the field (in context to the page) and output them with the current selected option selected? So the output would be something like:

<select class="statuses">
	<option value="one">One</option>
	<option value="two">Two</option>
	<option value="three">Three</option>
	<option value="four" slected>Four</option>
</select>

Use this to get all the options, iterate on it and just check if the value equals the page field value:

$field = $fields->get('countries');
$all_options = $field->type->getOptions($field);

Check the documentation for more useful on select options fields:

Thanks elabx, I cant believe I missed that. I found people discussing 

$page->optionsfield->has("value=foo")

to check if a value was selected, but since this options field might have a bunch of options, it seems a bit much to have to define each foreach. I tried:

 <?php if($option->has("title={$option->title}")): ?>

but I have apparently missed how to do this.

 

Yeah, I really just was not thinking, I got it with:

<?php
	$field = $fields->get('my_field');
	$options = $field->type->getOptions($field);
	$selectedField = $todo->my_field->value;
?>

<select>
	<?php foreach($options as $option): ?>
		<?php if($option->value === $selectedField): ?>
        	<option value="<?=$option->value;?>" selected><?=$option->title;?></option>
		<?php else: ?>
        	<option data-id="<?=$page->parent->id;?>" value="<?=$option->value;?>"><?=$option->title;?></option>
		<?php endif; ?>
	<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>

Or using ternary operator :

<select>
<?php
$field = $fields->get('field_name');
$options = $field->type->getOptions($field);
$selectedField = $page->field_name->title;
foreach ($options as $option) {
  echo "<option value='".$option."' ".($option->title == $selectedField ? "selected":"").">".$option->title.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
