I only modified view.js and the form.<br /> * In the form, the guideline associated with the multiple choice, i put according to the id of the radio<br /> <code><br /> the text on the li&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p style="display:none" id="guide_6_1"&gt;&lt;small&gt;my text for the 1st radio&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ...<br /> &lt;p style="display:none" id="guide_6_5"&gt;&lt;small&gt;my text for the last radio<br /> </code><br /> the code starts with closing the li guidelines.<br /> the code ends without closing things because view-functions.php will do it for the guidelines.</p> <p>* The idea is to reuse the current hover effect but to replace the li guidelines value with the one from the radio and trigger a hover on the li<br /> <code><br /> $('#main_body li.multiple_choice span').hover(<br /> function(e) {<br /> var radio = $(':first-child', this);<br /> if (radio.length &gt; 0){<br /> var temp = radio.attr("id").split('_');<br /> var li = $("#li_"+temp[1]);<br /> if ( li.hasClass('highlighted') != true )<br /> { //replace the li guideline text with the current hovered radio guideline<br /> var radio_guideline = $("#guide_" + temp[1] + "_" + temp[2]);<br /> var li_guideline = $("#guide_" + temp[1]);<br /> if ( radio_guideline.length &gt; 0 &#38;&#38; li_guideline.length &gt; 0 )<br /> {//we have guidelines<br /> li_guideline.html(radio_guideline.html());<br /> li.trigger(e.type);<br /> }<br /> }<br /> else<br /> { //if highlighted, find the checked radio and use its text<br /> var selected_radio = $('input.radio:checked', li);<br /> if ( selected_radio.length &gt; 0 )<br /> {<br /> var temp = selected_radio.attr("id").split('_');<br /> var radio_guideline = $("#guide_" + temp[1] + "_" + temp[2]);<br /> var li_guideline = $("#guide_" + temp[1]);<br /> if ( radio_guideline.length &gt; 0 &#38;&#38; li_guideline.length &gt; 0 )<br /> {//we have guidelines<br /> li_guideline.html(radio_guideline.html());<br /> li.trigger(e.type);<br /> }<br /> }<br /> }<br /> }<br /> });<br /> </code><br /> And to handle the case when the multi choice is highlighted and fix the guideline value (so that hovering doesn't affect the text),<br /> in: <code>$("form.appnitro :input").bind('click focus',function(){</code> i have added<br /> <code>else if ( current_li.hasClass('multiple_choice') == true ) { $(this).trigger('mouseenter'); }</code> on the test on current_li (i.e if highlighted).<br /> It triggers a hover on the radio on which the click/focus was done. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/dynamic-guidelines-on-multiple-choice-field#post-18150 Wed, 01 May 2013 10:37:42 +0000 yuniar 18150@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I'm afraid this one won't be quite simple to do. You will need to use some Javascript to attach different text for each hover event.<br /> I'm afraid I won't be able to help with the code for this one. Sorry :( </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/dynamic-guidelines-on-multiple-choice-field#post-18120 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:06:30 +0000 Fa 18120@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> When hovering on a radio multi-choice field, the guideline when set appears.<br /> And i would be interested in the following: hovering on each choice/radio, the guideline is changed with another text. And when selected/highlighted, the guideline that remains being the one associated with the selection/selected radio. And when the highlight goes to another field, the guideline is hidden.</p> <p>I have started looking at the code but any suggestion about the possibility, where to look would be welcome.<br /> Thanks.</p> <p>Note: i haven't found anything in the forums that would lean towards such feature. </p>
