Converting CF7 to CF8

kraadde 06 Dec, 2024

First of all, congratulation for the improved response time to queries from forums members. Since manuals are not available is this very important for users with more complex forms functions.

I have set up a CF7 form as shown below.

depending on the selected option "field_select_126", the multifields area multi_90 or area_fields_120 are hidden in the frontside view.

Sofar I could not find how to do this in CF8 and also conversion CF7 to CF8 will not work.

Can you help me out?

Thanks

Thanks, but how to enable triggers in multi field areas?

Triggers are in views which can raise triggers, like fields, but areas can only have listeners, I have added Listeners support for Multi field areas in the latest update, but if it is not there then you will need to place your multi field inside a Container which has Listeners behavior

I just downloaded the CF version 8.0.31 and bought a new key for the new page I want to setup.

I still can not see any behavieurs "Event " and "Hidden" like it was available in CF7. This in both "Container" and "Multifield areas.

Help please!

Hi Kraade

as I noted before, there are no triggers for Containers or Areas in general, they do not trigger any events, they can only listen, the Multi field will get a listener in v8.0.32, but the Container already has a listener

So you need to setup your Trigger in the Dropdown, and your listener in the Container, does this work ?
