Hi Guys,
I want to know how I can change the option value for the dropdown questions.
At the moment it’s coming out like this:
<option value=”Cork”> Cork</option>
I want it to come out like this
<option value=”CK”> Cork</option>
So the user will still see the correct County but the DB will store the CK entry.

Hi Antonie, that is part of the core plugin and can’t currently be changed at this time.
Is this related to payment processing as in creating a new payment gateway for Event Espresso 3?

Hi Lorenzo,
It’s for an SAP integration, I’ve been digging in the code and it seems that the “form_build.php” is generating this.
case "DROPDOWN" :
$dd_type = $question->system_name == 'state' ? 'name="state"' : 'name="DROPDOWN_' . $question->id . '"';
$values = explode(",", $question->response);
$answer = trim( stripslashes( str_replace( $find, $replace, $answer )));
$answer = htmlspecialchars( $answer, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' );
$form_input .= '
<p class="event_form_field">' . $label;
$form_input .= '
<select ' . $dd_type . ' ' . $required_title . ' class="' . $required_class . $class . '" id="DROPDOWN_' . $question->id . '" />
<option value=""></option>';
foreach ($values as $key => $value) {
$value = trim( stripslashes( str_replace( $find, $replace, $value )));
$value = htmlspecialchars( $value, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' );
$formatted = apply_filters('filter_hook_espresso_parse_question_answer_for_price',$value, $question->price_mod);
$selected = ( $formatted == $answer ) ? ' selected="selected"' : "";
$form_input .= '
<option value="' . $formatted . '"' . $selected . '/> ' . $formatted . '</option>';
}
$form_input .= '
</select>';
$form_input .= '
If added in a extra row in the events_questions table called response-code and change to option value from $formatted to $formatted-code for example would that work?

Hi,
In theory I can’t see why it wouldn’t but I would test on a development server first and back up your database as a priority. I’d be tempted to add it to a separate custom table as updates may not be happy with the additional table column.
Please note, unless you “plug” the function (it is pluggable – https://codex.wordpress.org/Pluggable_Functions) updates will over write your changes.
Please also note that as this is a core customisation we cannot support it, so you may need to get a developer into the mix if you are struggling to get it to work.
In a lot of ways it might be easier to catch the data on it’s way to the SAP integration and simply modify the county name to code at that point – this might be safer overall rather than modifying core files.
