Hi...

I Want To Show Hide Divs Using Mootools (Or Whatever Works Best With Chronoforms For This Particular Thing)
What I Exactly Want Is...
If I Select "Option 1" From A Dropdown..
I Want To Hide All Divs But "Div1"

If I Select "Option 2" From Dropdown
I Want To Hide All Divs But "Div2"
And So On...

AND
Something Like If I Click "Add More" It Will Add A New Div With A TextBox, Quite A Bit Like Accordion

Definitely I Dont Want Full Code To Be Written For Me..
I Want Some Tips About How To Do It With Chronoforms..
I Did Not See Any Such Thing In Showcase...

Thanks 🙂

Hi codelab,

Please take a look at this thread where we use some MooTools/JavaScript to do something similar. Please see if that's enough to get you going.

How About Adding New Divs/Controls Like In AccordionDemo

How Do I Make It Work With Chrono...🤨

Hi CodeLab,

Yes you can. I've done it with the accordion style - see here. Scroll down and you'll see that four team members are shown in an accordion by default. If you change the 'TeamSize' drop-down then you'll see more elements in the accordion.

Hi Bob,
Thanks For The Link. Excellent Piece Of Work 🙂

Was Wondering, If That Form Saves Info To Database...
If It Does, Then It Would Probably Need Custom DB Schema And Some Extra Code.. (Actually Lot Of Extra Code 🤣 )

I Am On Quite A Similar Thing, And I Think My Form Needs Custom DB Schema And Lot Of Extra Code To Make It Work..
Any Comments..

Hi CodeLab,

Yes it does save to the database; and yes there is quite a lot of custom code in there.

The form is pretty much PHP driven, there's about 1000 lines of code altogether so not that big. The data is packed away into just four fields in the database and then re-expanded to be downaloaded into an Excel spreadsheet.

The schema really does depend on what you want to do with the data. In this case the client (wrongly IMHO) wants to manage it all through Excel so I can keep the schema really simple. I have another similar app - a three part form where the client wants to maintain their 'old' format so we ended up with 50 or 60 columns in the main table.

You can handle pretty much anything using ChronoForms - though I suspect v 3.0 isn't as flexible with the Autogenerated code as 2.5 was. But there does come a time when it's worth making the switch into a custom extension. I think the boundary is linked to the need for table admin which ChronoForms does not do so well.
