Predefined values

Hi

Is there anyway to make a value in the list an 'all' value or blank rather than it being an actual value itself, so for example in the dropdown it would have:

All fruit
Apples
Pears
Oranges
Bananas

and choosing 'all fruit' in a search would return anyone with all of those fruits in their profile?  The same goes for a value, e.g. 'Any fruit' that would return anyone who has any fruit selected in their profile?

of course it always seems there is some preference difference on the characteristics of what customized join forms or registration or profile fields should contain. in this instance specifically, would it not suffice to utilize a check box solution for these multiple options rather than a dropdown? without the ability to use multi-select on the dropdown, you are basically constrained to the mentioned option, or having the source rewritten for your IF THEN ELSE ELSEIF solution.

Hi DosDawg

Thanks for the reply - this is actually for a client who want an 'all' option so a user on their site can search for someone who has ticked all fruits on their profile details, or an 'any' option that searches for people who have ticked any of the fruit (fruit being an example of course)! I just wondered if anyone had any cunning way around this without rewriting all the source code!

I'll have to convince them to reconsider the way the forms are used :)
