I have a drop down of 3 items and each item has a different form. After selecting and submitting "item 1" it is supposed to load "form 1". I would like to know how I should do it.

You can use an "Event switcher" action and setup 3 events for the 3 options and use 3 redirect actions, each to a different form.

I used the Event switcher action, setup 3 events for the 3 options and redirect actions but it redirects to the 1st form for all the 3.

My drop down ID is "liketodo". The options are 0=View a Bible, 1=Reserve a Bible, 2=Purchase a Bible. Each one has a different form i.e ("view-bible", "reserve-a-bible", purchase-a-bible") respectively but they all load "view-bible" form after submitting.

Below is the code for the Event Switcher I am using; please check whether this is correct;

<?php
if($form->data['liketodo'] == 0){
return "view-bible";
}
if($form->data['liketodo'] == 1){
return "reserve-a-bible";
}
if($form->data['liketodo'] == 2){
return "purchase-a-bible";
}
?>

The first image doesn't have an "event switcher" action, you have a "Custom code", that's wrong, the Event switcher action will have 3 events where you should place your 3 redirect actions so that the switching can be done based on the value.

Thanks Max,

I have setup "Event Switcher" action with 3 events and 3 redirect actions. After submit it does not load the respective form. Am not so good with coding, I hope to help me in this please.

The event switcher code i put in is;
<?php
if($form->data['liketodo'] == 0){
return "view-bible";
}
?>

<?php
if($form->data['liketodo'] == 1){
return "reserve-a-bible";
}
?>

<?php
if($form->data['liketodo'] == 2){
return "purchase-a-bible";
}
?>

Hi gilgal_media,

There can be problems using 0 and 1 as option values*. I'd suggest that you change those to more meaningful values:

view-bible=View a Bible
reserve-a-bible=Reserve a Bible,
purchase-a-bible=Purchase a Bible

Then the event switcher can just use:

<?php
// set a default value if liketodo is missing or empty
if ( !isset($form->data['liketodo']) || !$form->data['liketodo'] ) {
  $form->data['liketodo'] = 'view-bible';
}
return $form->data['view-liketodo'];
?>

Thank you Bob for your assistance, however after changing everything & submit I receive this error;

Hi gilgal_media.

Sorry, I missed a ) in this line:

if ( !isset($form->data['liketodo']) || !$form->data['liketodo'] ) {

:-(

Bob

Thanks so much Bob,

The code works and does not return the error anymore now. However the intended form is not displayed. I think problem is in the "redirect" action.
It is supposed to redirect to a form "view-bible". Please help me with the "redirect" action code. Below image is what i used.

Hi gilgal_media,

please remove the entry in the Extra Params box - it isn't doing anything useful here. See if that works. If not, what is the URL that you are being redirected to?

Bob
