Customize Users Module Edit with a Dropdown

[jmongaras]

I am customizing the EditView.tpl file for the Users module. I am trying to add a dropdown field. It is a custom dropdown that I added. Here is my en_us.lang.php file. It contains the new dropdown list.


$GLOBALS['app_list_strings']['location_list']=array (
'Blank' => '',
'Chicago' => 'Chicago',
'New York City' => 'New York City',
'Los Angeles' => 'Los Angeles',
);

The lines I added for the new field in the EditView.tpl are the following:

<td width="17%" scope="row"><slot>{$MOD.LBL_LOCATION}:</slot></td>
<td width="33%" ><slot>{$LOCATION_LIST}</slot></td>

The label is working correctly, but I only get blank space for the dropdown. Do I have the incorrect naming convention? From what I see above, I thought it would be $LOCATION_LIST.

I appreciate the help.

Which sugar version are you using?

You have to customize editview.php too. where you have to get custom drop down and pass the same to tpl file. TPL file will only recognize the variables which are declared to it.

Thank you for the help. Adding code to the EditView.php file did it. I now see it.
