Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.To reproduce, go to ?q=admin/build/contact and create two categories with just the default options. Then go to ?q=contact, and notice that you have a notice... ha!
This patch should be easy to create for someone new to Drupal.

blackdog commentedAdded an isset(), notice gone.
Comment #2
jody lynnNew patch. Isset() returns a boolean so it will not work when there is an actual default_value to be set. This patch sets '--' as the default_value when there is none set.
Comment #3
blackdog commentedBetter patch, applies well and does the trick. Fixed a minor spacing issue.
Comment #4
gábor hojtsyWell, I would use t('-Please select-') or something along those lines as a default category, just like in forum module for example. That gives a bit more information to the visitor on what should be done.
Comment #5
blackdog commentedUpdated the patch with the phrase '- Please choose -', like in the forum module.

gábor hojtsyGreat. I slightly modified the patch to omit the $placeholder variable which we don't require. This is less lines and cleaner. Committed this one. Thanks!
