Hi

I am having a problem with displaying data in dropdowns. When i add more than one dropdown they seem to stop each other working. I am labelling each of them differently and have provided the code below. In this particular example the first dropdown should display dynamic data, in the second dropdown it should display a list of options. Initially the first dropdown worked however the second would not. Now i have managed to get the second to display data but the first dropdown will not display data even though i did not change anything. This has happened on all the forms that I have tried to show two dropdowns.

Has anyone come across this before? I am very new to chronoform and do not have a great understanding of the code. I also wondered if it could be another module in joomla causing it not to work?

<?php
$keys = \GCore\Libs\Arr::getVal(\GCore\Libs\Arr::getVal($form->data, explode(".", "project")), explode(".", "[n].projectid"));
$values = \GCore\Libs\Arr::getVal(\GCore\Libs\Arr::getVal($form->data, explode(".", "project")), explode(".", "[n].projectname"));
$options = array_combine($keys, $values);
$field = array (
  'name' => 'project',
  'id' => 'project',
  'options' => 
  array (
    'value' => 'projectname',
  ),
  'empty' => '',
  'values' => 
  array (
  ),
  'label' => 
  array (
    'text' => 'Project',
    'position' => 'left',
  ),
  'sublabel' => '',
  'multiple' => '0',
  'size' => '',
  'class' => ' validate[\'required\']',
  'title' => '',
  'style' => '',
  'params' => '',
  ':data-load-state' => '',
  ':data-tooltip' => '',
  'type' => 'dropdown',
  'container_id' => '0',
);
$field["options"] = $options;
echo \GCore\Helpers\Html::formLine($field["name"], $field);
?><div class="form-group gcore-form-row" id="form-row-activitytype"><label for="activitytype" class="control-label gcore-label-left">Activity type</label>
<div class="gcore-input gcore-display-table" id="fin-activitytype"><select name="activitytype" id="activitytype" size="" class="validate['required'] form-control A" title="" style="" data-load-state="" data-tooltip="">

Hi gluttonforpunishment,

Why and where are you using all of that code?

I assume that you've only posted part of it as there is only one drop-down there and that doesn't have a closing </select> tag.

Are the two drop-downs supposed to be linked in some way?

Hi Bob,

I actually just copied the code from the wizard rather than have lots of screen shots. I have actually managed to get it to work working through some of the things you suggested in the message you sent. I renamed all of the dropdown to ensure that there were none that were the same across all my forms and it seems to have worked.

Thanks

Hi gluttonforpunishment,

Well done :-)

Bob
