Conditional fields
January 18, 2010, 06:55:16 am
I know how to make a field mandatory, or not mandatory in a profile (e.g. for membership sign up).

Is it possible to make a field mandatory if some other field has been ticked? So, for example, is it possible to make a date of birth field mandatory if someone has declared they're under 18, or if they've selected a membership rate for the over 65s? Could I require that someone who has ticked the "I'd like to Gift Aid this money" [a UK tax thing, where a charity can get a money back if money donated by a UK tax payer] has to fill out name and address, but those who haven't don't?

You'll need to customize the edit form template for that profile and add javascript logic to enforce the conditional requirements / conditional field display.

This could be done purely with jQuery--I don't see any reason to edit any template files. You would simply need to add a jQuery file to your page (in the theme or via a module for Drupal).

Yes. I don't know the correct way to add a JS file in Joomla, but you certainly *could* just add the reference to it in the main Joomla template.

just wondering if anyone ended up making this work via jquery and if so, if you'd be willing to share the code :)

Hi Emily!
Not sure if anyway has done this (probably but didn't share). In current versions you can use this feature to much more easily add jQuery snippets for a specific form:

http://civicrm.org/blogs/dave-greenberg/now-its-easier-add-custom-behaviors-templates

There's examples of jQuery snippets which show, hide, change values, freeze etc. all over the templates folders. check this one for some potentially useful examples:

templates/CRM/Contribute/Form/ContributionPage/Amount.tpl

Awesome, Dave, thanks!

I'll check into it and see what I can come up with, and I will post docs on anything I do :)
