Hi,

I have set up a multiple page form. At page two I would like to Hide or Show an item depending on a selection made at page one. Hence, I guess, I need a repeater area at page two (do I?).

However, when I make a selection at page one, the Radios group set out in the repeater area is repeated 71 times at page two, and the selection made at page one ist only automatically selected at the sixth repetition.

Can anyone help?
​
When trying to upload a screenshot to this post it says "Error saving the attachment file." Thus I write it down:
Repeater Area:
Data provider: {data:}
Enable content multiplier: No
​
Radios group (in "body")
Name: {var:area_repeater214.key}
ID: radio213

The data provider for the repeater area looks at the array provided, and makes as many copies as there are entries in the array. That's why it's showing so many. Perhaps you DON'T need a repeater eh?

Hm. But how can I Show/Hide an item at page two depending on a selection made at page one?

Do you need to hide / show an item, OR do you need different values in a radio group?

I have different values in the radio group at page one and need to hide/show an item at page two. (Only "group-leaders" (selection ade at page one) shall see some questions at page two.)

You can set up a switch - display one page for one group, a different page for a different group

Got that. Thanks. But if I then build two copies of page two, one including the extra items for "group-leaders", how can I make sure that the rest of the items at page two will be saved under the same ID no matter if a "group-leader" or anybody else made a selection?

I can not understand your last question! face-meh-blank

Okay: I would like to have lets say 10 questions on page two, with two additional questions for "group-leaders". So depending on my selection on page one I will be forwarded (with an event switch) to either the page with 10 or the page with altogether 12 questions. In the data table, however, the answers to questions 1 to 10 shall be saved under the same ID. – I could simply add one page with only the two questions. But the above way would be nicer.

Hi burf,
​
For this you can switch the last 2 questions, using the "permissions" tab (you wrote they are only for group leaders), this will control whether the questions are shown or not!
​
Best regards

Unless group leaders are identified by the answers they give and not what Joomla access level they have

Answers given on same page ? if yes then use the fields events to show/hide the 2 fields!
