I need a select to be dependent from the previous value. Meaning that the options in the second dropdown would be filtered by a parent value in the previous select.</p> <p>Any ideas on how to achieve this?</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/targeting-drop-down-in-helper-functionsphp-for-replacement-how#post-23310 Wed, 20 May 2015 17:57:22 +0000 MvdL79 23310@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Argh... :|</p> <p>Thanks once again Yuniar :) </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/targeting-drop-down-in-helper-functionsphp-for-replacement-how#post-23309 Wed, 20 May 2015 16:54:39 +0000 yuniar 23309@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>ah.. it seems you're missing the brackets for the second IF. It should be like this:</p> <pre><code>if(($form_id == 10003) OR ($form_id == 10004)){</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/targeting-drop-down-in-helper-functionsphp-for-replacement-how#post-23308 Wed, 20 May 2015 16:33:14 +0000 MvdL79 23308@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>No rush, but wondering something.</p> <p>If I use:<br /> <pre><code>if($data[&#39;element_type&#39;] == &#39;select&#39; &#38;&#38; $target_is_admin === true){ if($form_id == 10003) OR ($form_id == 10004){ if($data[&#39;element_id&#39;] == 3){</code></pre> <p>The script stops working (blank pages, probably internal server error or something).</p> <p>However this did work for radio buttons. Is this not possible with select?<br /> Like I said; it's not a big thing, because I created now 2 seperate rules, but I always thought less code is better. :) </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/targeting-drop-down-in-helper-functionsphp-for-replacement-how#post-23304 Tue, 19 May 2015 19:06:04 +0000 MvdL79 23304@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Damn... Just replace 'radio' with 'select'. </p> <p>I feel stupid once again. Oh well. Better to ask than pull my hair out.</p> <p>Thanks Yuniar. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/targeting-drop-down-in-helper-functionsphp-for-replacement-how#post-23298 Tue, 19 May 2015 17:48:55 +0000 yuniar 23298@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>To target the dropdown field, you'll only need to change the first line of the code. To be like this:</p> <pre><code>if($data[&#39;element_type&#39;] == &#39;select&#39; &#38;&#38; $target_is_admin === true){</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/targeting-drop-down-in-helper-functionsphp-for-replacement-how#post-23297 Tue, 19 May 2015 17:08:44 +0000 MvdL79 23297@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>* small re-bump * </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/targeting-drop-down-in-helper-functionsphp-for-replacement-how#post-23295 Mon, 18 May 2015 17:57:43 +0000 MvdL79 23295@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>* small bump * </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/targeting-drop-down-in-helper-functionsphp-for-replacement-how#post-23281 Fri, 15 May 2015 19:45:15 +0000 MvdL79 23281@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Yuniar / other staff members,</p> <p>Quick question; I am still using the code Yuniar once had given me to replace targeted 'Multiple Choice' fields, so it would replace them with custom, defined, values. Like shown below:</p> <pre><code>if($data[&#39;element_type&#39;] == &#39;radio&#39; &#38;&#38; $target_is_admin === true){ if($form_id == xxxxx){ if($data[&#39;element_id&#39;] == xx){ if($data[&#39;value&#39;] == &quot;Option number 1&quot;){ $entry_details[$i][&#39;value&#39;] .= &quot; (Product code: 66005)&quot;; }elseif($data[&#39;value&#39;] == &quot;Option number 2&quot;){ $entry_details[$i][&#39;value&#39;] .= &quot; (Product code: 66006)&quot;; }elseif($data[&#39;value&#39;] == &quot;Option number 3&quot;){ $entry_details[$i][&#39;value&#39;] .= &quot; (Product code: 66007)&quot;; }elseif($data[&#39;value&#39;] == &quot;Option number 4&quot;){ $entry_details[$i][&#39;value&#39;] .= &quot; (Product code: 66008)&quot;; } } } }</code></pre> <p>How would I target a 'Drop Down' field in this case?<br /> Because there is no type for this. So probably there is a different approach for this?</p> <p>Thank you in advance.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Michel </p>
