add/remove a field based on a checkbox

[chrislynch8]

Hi,

Can I add a checkbox (well I know I can add one) but when it is checked aother date field appears. I think I've read that this is possible by using the devtoolkit - has anyone done this before?

Yes, DevToolKit can accomplish that request. Version 0.7 has the plugin Visible fields which toggle visibility of fields based on selected value from another field. It workfs for check box, text field and dropdowns.

Hi,

Is this something that happens right away, so once the check box is ticked the datefield will appear? or is it after a save? I assume that it works for is implying that the field tyes about can be used to trigger it only and are not the only type of fields that can be set to visible?

Yes, that is it.
Are you facing any issue on that?

Hi Andres

I've no issue - I've never used you tool so I was just making sure that it would achieve what I required before I invest the time to get it working.

I'll report back if I run into any more trouble.

I also see that you can hide panel - I will be implementing this to allow users to create a Meeting from a Call. Again another Checkbox that when ticked will show a seperate panel that will ask for the time and dates of teh meeting and on save create a record.

Thanks
Chris

I've installed the DevToolKit.

I've configured a custom view.edit.php as per the manual. and I have a metadata file toggle_visible_fields.php but it is not wokring.

This is a file toggle_visible_fields.php in /custom/modules/<Module>/metadata/

 <?php
//if checkbox_field = 0 higde toggle field
$toggle_visible_fields.php = array(
                      'checkbox_field' => array(
                                         '0' => array(
                                                    'field_to_toggle' => 0,
                                                 ),
                                         '1' => array(
                                                    'field_to_toggle' =>1,
                                          ),
                          ),
);
?>  

In the custom view.edit.php I have the following.

 private $manager; //this is after the Class is defined
    
    function init($bean=null, $view_object_map=array())
    {
        parent::init($bean,$view_object_map);        
        require_once('custom/include/utils/DevToolKitManager.php');        
        $this->manager = new DevToolKitManager($this);
    }    
//I have this in my display function,
 
function display() {
    
    $this->manager->display();    
        $this->ev->process();
//    echo $this->ev->display();
//I am doing other stuff in my display here
 
//At the end I created the process function
 
function process() {
        parent::process();
        $this->manager->process();
    } 
  

I can edit a record so the view is working, the toggle visible fields part is not working

The variable name should be "$toggle_visible_fields" instead of "$toggle_visible_fields.php".

Thats a typo on my behalf - I have it called toggle_visible_fields with no .php

Shameful Bump

Let me know the view.edit.php, editviewefs.php and toggle_visible_fields.php.
