Conditional fields

Hello,

Is it possible to create conditional fields in FC ?
For example, i have custom field (lets say list of companies), i want to create new custom field which will change upon the values in the 1st field (the products of certain company).

Thanks in advance.

Hello

this is not an uncommon request we have an enhancement issue in bug tracker for making this

code.google.com/p/flexicontent/i ... ail?id=260

maybe tou can do this with code in template

In case you are considering a custom template for your content you can achive this with custom code.

Unless you handle massive amounts of data you could load all data at once from the db and apply the desired behavior of the second field via Javascript's onchange() method of the first field. In case of massive data you might use an AJAX call to get the data according to the value of the first field. Since Joomla uses jQuery you can use the examples in the API docs at api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Hello

exactly,
that is how it is done (and how we are going to do it) via AJAX in browser

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for the info, i will try to apply this solution.

Hello friends,

One issue I've encountered is that "company" is a custom field and "product" is another custom field.
The problem is how can i target the output of company selection to the product field given the fact that its field id can change ? say the product field was deleted and later created again and now with different id ? how can i always find that field? actually the same goes for both fields ..
one solution i came up with is to store the "product"'s field name/id in DB, and then when company selected i will seek the field id from the DB and then apply the
result to it. Its kinda weird work around and i wanted to ask if there is a better way to achieve that ..

this is more a programming question than a FLEXIcontent question

you have to make some planning of it,

about conditional fields, you may ask for updated information (about progress) at start of January

Do we have any news about conditional fields? :

Hello

yes,
this will be in FLEXIcontent v2.1.4 (maybe name v2.2.0) together with multimedia fields (share video, address (gogglemap) ) that are based on user-contributed fields

it is too late for v2.1.3
