[NEW FEATURE] Conditional custom fields

Hi All

Today, I just added support for a new feature in Events Booking called Conditional Custom Fields. Basically, conditional custom fields mean when someone changes value of one field, other fields will be showed/hided on the form.

There are two types of fields in this case :

1. The first one is Master Fields : That are the fields which when someone changes the value of it (for example, select one option), the other fields which are depend on it will be showed/hided. In Events Booking a field which has the following types: CheckboxList, RadioList, Dropdown can be a Master Fields.

2. Dependency Fields: That are the fields which they are showed/hided when someone choose/select one option from Master field. All fields in Events Booking custom fields can be Dependency fields.

To create conditional custom fields (see a sample in the image below):


1. First, we will need to create master field. An example is a checkbox list custom field which has 3 values : PHP, HTML, CSS. When users choose PHP option, another textbox custom field called PHP version will be showed, When users choose HTML option, another textbox custom field called HTML version will be showed and so on..... For this master field, simply create it as normal checkboxlist custom field as usual.

2. Create dependecy custom fields, simply create it as normal custom field. In the bottom of screen, choose the master field which you created above. And on the next line, select the options which this field will be depended on. See screesnhot below :



3. Now when users access to registration form, they will see the master field by default. When users choose an option in that master field, the field which depend on that option will be showed....

If anyone needs this new feature and want to help me to test it, please let me know and I will send it to you !

Tuan

Hi Tuan,
Is there any news on the new Conditional custom fields as I would like to work on this on Wednesday

How do I get the new feature ?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy

This feature is now available in version 1.6.2. So you can simply login to your account, access to My Downloads menu item, see your order, download latest version and upgrade it to your site in order to use it !

Hi Tuan,
Unless I am doing something wrong, the field mapping doesn't seem to be working in the new feature. Is it supposed to be working now or is this work in progress?

Thanks

I tested it out today and it seems to be working fine. I needed to pot the radio button near the top of the registration form so simply created it and went into phpMyAdmin and changed the order. Then I changed the Depend on field and now my form works fine!

If you can add the missing box for field mapping and add a re-order option for those who don't like going into the database then you will have a killer extension.

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon

Could you please explain more details ? You are saying that you don't see field mapping dropdown ? That's strange. could you please submit a support ticket giving me access to your site so that I can check and correct it for you ?

Tuan

I started to use this and it is excellent. I was wondering if you have experienced any situations where the field do not get refreshed the updated field are just added below them.

EX.

If Age 4 - 6 (pull down menu( is selected)
Then the checkboxes should read; A,B,C
Else the checkboxes should read D,E,F

Isolated it works, not if the person registering select age 4 - 6 by mistake, the checkbox reads A, B, C and then if the user changes the age to 7 - 9 the next line of checkboxes reads A,B,C but then the next line reads D,E,F.

Have you seen this?

Hi John

I haven't seen it happens before. Could you please submit a support ticket sending me admin and FTP account of your site so that I can check and solve it for you ?

Regards,

Tuan
