Dotnetnuke allows you to create your own customize profile fields for your users. One of the Data Types that is available to you when you create a new profile property field is the type of List.
To use the list data type you need to do the following:
- Login as a user with Host level access.
- Go to Host and then click on Lists in the Menu.
- Create a new list and be sure to name the list the same name as you want the list of Items to appear in the profile form. For example I have a list named "Salutation" which has such items as Mr. Mrs. Dr. etc.
- Create a new profile field under the User Accounts and name the profile field exactly as you named your list you created. aka Salutation.
- Now when you fill out the profile form you will see a dropdownlist of the values in the list you created.

Re: Utilizing the List Data Type with Dotnetnuke Custom Profile
For the time being you can't actually create a "Label" type control. However, in theory you should be able to create a RichText type and then put in HTML that will display information and prevent it from being edited. I haven't tried this myself, but it is what I would try if I was doing this.

Re: Utilizing the List Data Type with Dotnetnuke Custom Profile
I want to use a dropdown as a child from other list, like Region/Country, but is not working properly. Is this feature working fin in DNN?
(I created a list and identified parent list and parent value, but the child list is showing all the possible values for all the parent values)
Thanks,
Fabian

Re: Utilizing the List Data Type with Dotnetnuke Custom Profile
Fabian,
The country type is a special control that was built to do what you describe. It isn't enough to create the list, you need to build a control that will mimic the the way the country control works. The good news is that since DNN is Open Source, you will not have a problem finding how it is built. By Stuart on
