Hi Oliver

Lovin the plugin!

Quick question. I have some javascript that I want to use to change a hidden field 'desc' when check box=true

I cant work out where I actually put my code to affect the 'desc' field if checkbox=true

Do I save JS as a file and call it? Can I paste it into the field set somewhere?

Any help appreciated

Rob

All your personal custom Javascript code should go into a separate file, e.g. my_javascript.js

• cforms main config page: turn on 'Use custom input
  field NAMES & ID's'
• cforms main config page: add a [id:clickmebox] to the checkbox label, e.g.:
  Please collect the Gift Aid[id:clickmebox]
• cforms styling page: activate both 'List element IDs & Label IDs'
• cforms styling page: in the CSS set the resepctive list element to not show, e.g. : li#li--9 { display:none; }
• copy my_javascript.js into your WP theme folder
• and link to it from within your WP header.php file (usually), e.g.:
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.fishnclicks.co.uk/wp-content/themes/freshnews/my_javascript.js"></script>
• my_javascript.js can contain:
  $(document).ready(
  $("#clickmebox").click(function () { $('#li--9').toggle(); });
  );
• finally, turn on cforms datepicker feature *ONLY* if you either require it for date-picker fields or do not have jQuery already loaded (which you do have, so you can turn off the date-picker feature)
• give it a shot

Disclaimer: This is all of top off my head and I may have missed a step, let me know if you hit a wall.

The code in my_javascript.js is very basic, but should do the job.

• when using getElementById there is no # sign allowed
• afterChecked needs to be called by my script above, that's why I provided it. add the below after your corrected script (remove # signs):
  $(document).ready(
  $("#giftaid").click(function () {  afterChecked();  });
  );
• you also need to load giftaid.js *after* wp_head(); in your header.php otherwise it'll be loaded before jQuery
• the hidding example was just an example to demonstrate, on the fly field hiding/showing. li--9 was the amount field, no? now it's li--8...
  

so the script now reads

function afterChecked()
{
    if (document.getElementById('giftaid').checked == true)
    {
        document.getElementById('desc').value='giftaid'
    }
    else
    {
        document.getElementById('desc').value='0'
    }
}
$(document).ready(
$("#giftaid").click(function () {  afterChecked();  });
);

Firebug tells me I am missing a bracket.

Hi Oliver, thanks for this, new code worked and error is gone.

Now I just need to work out what I have to put in cforms to make sure that when the check box is checked it changes desc to giftaid.

Right now with the code running, it doesnt output desc as giftaid when checked. Is there something more that I need to do?

Thx for your continued help

Rob

Evening Oliver, yup I see it in firebug (didnt think to check using that) and I have posted the form to myself in email and see the description has changed.

I dont see captcha in my browser at all, must be a plugin activation issue! I dont know where its gone. I;m using a mac but dont see why that woud make a difference.

I'll have to work on that this evening.

Thank you for your help, brilliant.

Rob

captcha issue a non issue as you describe as I am logged in.

So what I get now is as follows.

When I load the page by navigating to it, the check box is checked and the 'desc' field is empty. if I change the check box it doesnt change in firebug. If I refresh that page and then hit the check box, it changes the desc value to giftaid as expected.

Is there a problem with where the script is loading? The page needs to be refreshed before the script changes the desc field.

Rob

Live site now moved to http://tropical.nsdesign4.net/ awaiting domain name reg.

I think it failed because the default for the check box was 'checked' yet the thing it was affecting 'desc' needed the default to reflect the 'checked' status.

If you start with checked, the the desc field needs to default to giftaid.

I think :)

Thanks

Rob

works fine now that both defaults match yup.
