Have custom profile show/hide dynamically

[RachelWright]

Is there a way to add a class name to a custom profile (to the fieldset)? So that I could easily hide it based on a price set selection? I can successfully hide one field in a profile, but I'd like to hide the whole custom profiel at once. Suggestions?

Hi Rachel - I think the only way to do it right now is to use some xPath selector to allow jQuery to find the Nth fieldset. However you've raised a really valid use case - the profile fieldset elements should include an identifying class.

I'd like to improve this in 4.3 - by changing this line in templates/CRM/UF/Form/Block.tpl:

Code: [Select]

            <fieldset><legend>{$field.groupTitle}</legend>

... to this:

Code: [Select]

        <fieldset class="{$field.groupTitle|replace:' ':'_'|escape:javascript}"><legend>{$field.groupTitle}</legend>

This will put an escaped string derived from the profile title as the fieldset class.

Want to try that in your site and see if it helps you?

Worked great, the class is now the name of the name of the group!! I can target it without writing code to figure out which set it is on the page!!!

Rachel - after further discussion, determined that using the ID of the profile is safer and probably more stable.
In 4.3 the markup will be:

Code: [Select]

<fieldset class="crm-profile crm-profile-id-{$field.group_id"><legend>{$field.groupTitle}</legend>

You can find the ID from Administer > Customize Data & Screens > Profiles (3rd column in listing).

Great thanks!

Rachel - after FURTHER discussion, I also added the profile 'name' class. This is a sanitized version of the profile title and s/b stable across copies of a site so might be better than profile id. More info on the issue tracker.
