Allow key|value pairs in selection fields of profile.module

+1 for this feature. However, it needs to go into 7.x first.

Just came across this much needed feature. Can we add support for null values in case we want to have required fields and don't want to preselect the first item in the options. Here's an example:

--|Please select
-- can denote a null key or

null|Please select

The profile module is obsolete. Won't fix.

I found a helper module for 6 that adds a blank "Please Select" to the top of the list:

Thanks. The patch #14 works on my site.

If you are having this error: (Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in profile_view_field() (line 268 of C:\xampp\htdocs\bgn\modules\profile\profile.module))

Add the isset to $parts[1]

if (isset($parts[1]) && $parts[0] == $value) {
   $value = trim($parts[1]);
   break;
}
