Support Forum

Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Child fields

13 years 10 months ago #2955 by Altano
Hello,

I'd like to know if it is possible to add child fields to specific fields.

For instance, I have a select recipient fields with Subject 1 and Subject 2 as possible choices. Now if the user chooses Subject 1, a new field will appear below. But if he chooses Subject 2, another different field can appear instead.

Is this kind of function available?

Thanks.

Dear Altano,

There is what I call "Chain Select List". Chained Selects lets you "chain" multiple select lists together so that the selection in a "parent" list can tailor the options available in a "child" list. Chained Selects supports unlimited unlimited number of "chains" in in a form.

In order to Create a chain select list you have to use the SQL Custom field and the fields will be loaded using AJAX JSON Calls.

The first option of a Chain select list can also be a Radio list.

Another user created a screencast on how to use this option, which I'll edit and upload in the next couple of hours.

Best regards,

Dear Altano,

I'm sorry for the delay.

The user who created the screencast, had to create a new one because I could not edit the format that he sent to me, and even though I didn't have time to edit, I've uploaded so you could see it.
