Show a container (and it's content) only after submit

M. M.Abletech 06 May, 2019

Hi,
I wish I can show a container (and it's content) only after submit. So I put it as hidden and I wish to change his status to visible after submit. I supposed I need some custom code.
I'm using chornoforms v5

Any suggestion? Thanks!

Hi M.Abletech ,

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to do here?

If you want to show a second stage to the form inputs then you could build a multi-page form?

Thanks GreyHead. No I don't wish to use a multipage form: as a matter of fact I still need other containers I have in the page.

Is it possible to change the state from hidden to visible for a container after submit?

Thanks

Hi M.Abletech,

Please explain how this works - normally the form inputs part is no longer visible after the form submits???

Sorry I don't get how this information matters.
I need some data to stay visible before and after submit (container A), and new data to be visible only after submit (container B): that is because before submit fields are blank and are filled with data provided by submission. I want the data in container A remains at disposal.

Now, any suggestions on how I can set container B visible only after submit?

Thanks

Hi M.Abletech,

Sure, please use a multi-page form. That way the information form the first page is still visible and you and show new for inputs depending on what that information is.

Bag your pardon, if I change page, then it is not anymore visible, or am I wrong?

Anyway, apart from the pratical use in this case, for further reference, is there a way to change via code the status ( hidden-visible) of a container?

Thanks

Once the form is submitted a new page is displayed, if you want to show/hide areas on the form then you can do this using the field events in a v6 form, you can install v6 with v5 and build the new form in v6

Thank you Admin,
yes I know it is very easy to achieve in chornoform v6. I think chronoform v6 was a great improvement in many ways, and this is one of these!
The problem is that I have a custom action that connect to our erp, that was developed for chornoform v5.
So I need to still use chornoform v5.

Hi M.Abletech ,

I'm sorry, I still don't understand your question - what exactly do you mean by 'submit' - perhaps that is the problem?
