Joomla registration custom field as dropdown?

[hirudo]

I added some extra field to Joomla. Everything working great. For example, I added "country" to registration.xml (components/com_users/models/forms):

Code: Select all

<field name="country" type="text"
        description="COM_USERS_REGISTER_COUNTRY_DESC"
        filter="string"
        label="COM_USERS_REGISTRATION_COUNTRY"
        required="true"
        size="40"
    />

But how to add a dropdown list? I want to give my users ability to select country from the list.

And similar question: I also added birthday field. How to add jQuery datepicker here?

Concerning the birthday, should be something like

<field name="birthday"
type="calendar"
label="COM_USERS_FIELD_BIRTHDAY_LABEL"
description="COM_USERS_FIELD_BIRTHDAY_DESC"
class="inputbox"
size="22"
format="%Y-%m-%d" labelclass="control-label" />
