Please someone help, I want to know how to set default value for dropdown during add state, I know that if record exists already on database it selects dropdown automatically during edit state, but during add record, I would like to keep default value.

$crud->field_type("status",'dropdown',array( '0'=>'rejected', '1'=>'approved','2'=>'Yet to moderate', '3'=>'Pending') );

By default I would like to select pending that is 3, please help me how this can be done.

Hello there. I use hidden fields to pass the defaults, then I set the selected values via jquery. Then remember to unset the hidden field before insert/update.

Try this

              // Get state
	       $state = $crud->getState(); 

              // Call render function
               $output = $crud->render();

               if($state == 'add')
	       {
		$js='<script>$(\'select[name="status"] option[value="3"]\').attr("selected", "selected");</script>';
		$output->output .= $js;	
	       }

	       $this->_example_output($output);
