Here is one way to do it...I imagine there lots of other ways:
You need two arrays, one for your available languages and one for your
selected languages. Loop through each available language, and for each
available loop through the array of selected -- if the current available
language exists in the selected array, then put the "SELECTED" in the
<option> tag. Below is an example:
<select multiple size=6 name=resourceLanguageId>
#foreach ($lang in $languages)
#set( $selected = "" )
#foreach ($slctlang in $selectedLanguages)
#if( $lang.id == $slctlang.id)
#set( $selected = "SELECTED" )
#end
#end
<option value="$lang.id" $selected>$lang.name</option>
#end
</select>
NOTE: You don't need the "[]" in "resourceLanguageId[]" in Turbine. Use
the data.getParameters().getStrings() to fetch an array.
ANOTHER NOTE: You can simplify this a little using Intake and the
multiValued="true" field attribute.
Good luck,
Chris
