Hello. I need some help and advice as I am struggling with this code. I made a Custom profile form and now would like to use coding to make the option available when user select something.

For e.g.: There are 2 fields.

Have you got a topic to discuss - Yes/No (Drop Down)

*If user select No, nothing happens. If Yes Another field come which states Please Specify - Text Box.

Both these fields are in the profile form lets name it Registration. Now I have done this coding but looks like I am doing something wrong.

I worked on two files: select.php & Block.tpl

In Select.php I added this code:

$myName = $this->getName();
                $this->setName($myName . '[]');
                $attrString = $this->_getAttrString($this->_attributes);
                $this->setName($myName);
            }
      
******NEW CODE STARTS******   
         if($this->_attributes[name]=="custom_14"){
         $strHtml .= $tabs . '<select onchange=topic(this.value)' . $attrString . ">\n";
         }
         else
         {
            $strHtml .= $tabs . '<select' . $attrString . ">\n";
         }
***NEW CODE ENDS******

            $strValues = is_array($this->_values)? array_map('strval', $this->_values): array();
            foreach ($this->_options as $option) {
                if (!empty($strValues) && in_array($option['attr']['value'], $strValues, true)) {
                    $option['attr']['selected'] = 'selected';
                }

IN THE ABOVE CODE - Custom_14 is text field id which I picked up from HTML Snippet in the registration form code. I am using topic as value.

This is what I have added to select.php

Now in block.tpl

{* Show explanatory text for field if not in 'view' or 'preview' modes *}
            {if $field.help_post && $action neq 4 && $action neq 1028}
                <span class="description">{$field.help_post}</span>
            {/if}
            </td>
        </tr>
    {else}
**NEW CODE STARTS HERE**
        <tr>
        {if $form.$n.label == '<label for="custom_15">Please specify?</label>'}
            <div class="label" id="semina1" style="display:none;">{$form.$n.label}</div>
             
              {else}
            <div class="label">{$form.$n.label}</div>
            {/if}
           
            {if $form.$n.label == '<label for="custom_15">Please specify?</label>' }
            <div class="edit-value content" id="semina2" style="display:none;">
           
            {else}
             <div class="edit-value content">
            {/if}
            **CODE ENDS HERE**
         
    {else}
        <div class="crm-section {$n}-section">
           {* Show explanatory text for field if not in 'view' or 'preview' modes *}
             {if $field.help_pre && $action neq 4 && $action neq 1028}
                &nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="description">{$field.help_pre}</span>
             {/if}

I am using content id- semina1 & semina2 and Also Custom 14 is drop down menu & custom 15 is text field stating Please specify? It will appear when Option Yes is selected.

IN THE SAME BLOCK.TPL FILE I ADDED THE BELOW CODE AS WELL TO DEFINE CONTENT ID.

{if $help_post && $action neq 4}<br /><div class="messages help">{$help_post}</div>{/if}
    {/strip}
 
{/if} {* fields array is not empty *}

**NEW CODE START**

{if $field.groupTitle == "Registration"}
        {literal}
        <script type="text/javascript">
         function topic(element){
         if(element == "Yes"){
         document.getElementById("semina1").style.display = "";
         document.getElementById("semina2").style.display = "";
         }
         else{
            document.getElementById("semina1").style.display = "none";
            document.getElementById("semina2").style.display = "none";
         }
       }
      
      </script>
      {/literal}
        {/if}
**NEW CODE ENDS**
{literal}
  <script type="text/javascript">
   
IN THIS CODE - Registration is name of the profile form, Topic is select value mentioned in Select.php, Content Id semina1 & 2 as mentioned above.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Looks like I am missing something in block.tpl.

Thank you for your help in advance.

It will be a good idea if this option can be added to the new update as it will make it more userfriendly and make the civicrm more powerful tool than before.

Thank you for your help & support. Really appreciated. I will try this method as well. I made the code and it works now but I am looking for the best approach and see which is feasible. I try this method and if require any further information, I will post here.

BIG THANK YOU
