This is the support topic for the tutorial Make "location" field required at registration for 2.3.5.  Please post here if you have any questions or feedback.

[RichardC]

Is there any way within this mod that you can make the Location field a drop down box?

To avoid people putting in 'random' stuff like 'at home' or 'under your bed' etc, we are currently using a 2nd custom field which we require at registration. Obviously this currently creates 2 location fields.

example data (tailored for my forum)

Bedfordshire=Bedfordshire
Berkshire=Berkshire
Buckinghamshire=Buckinghamshire
Cambridgeshire=Cambridgeshire
Cheshire=Cheshire
Cleveland=Cleveland
Cornwall=Cornwall

Find:

<fieldset class="row3">
					<legend><b>Location</b></legend>
						<table class='ipbtable' cellspacing="0">
							<tr>
								<td nowrap="nowrap">Enter your location:</td>
							</tr>
							<tr>
								<td><input type="text" size="50" name="Location" /></td>
							</tr>
						</table>
					</fieldset>

Replace with

<fieldset class="row3">
					<legend><b>Location</b></legend>
						<table class='ipbtable' cellspacing="0">
							<tr>
								<td nowrap="nowrap">Enter your location:</td>
							</tr>
							<tr>
 		<td class="row2"><select name="location" value="{$this->ipsclass->member['location']}" class='forminput'>
					<option selected="selected" value="{$this->ipsclass->member['location']}" style="font-family:{$this->ipsclass->member['location']}">{$this->ipsclass->member['location']}</option>
					<option value="">Default</option>
					<option value="Egypt">Egypt</option>
					<option value="usa">USA</option>
					<option value="france">France</option>
