Webform custom field contact reference
January 13, 2014, 06:39:58 am
Hi,

Got a field custom reference, filtered on the subtype. Works all good.

However, I chose both organization_name and country as the fields to display, but only the organization name is displayed. I checked, the organisations have an address with a country (only the country is filled), and this address is set as primary (but it's not the location type HOME).

anyway, I was expecting to have the name followed by the party in the autocomplete result. Is this working as intended and I should adjust my expectations or is there something that went wrong somewhere?

X+

P.S. I need to filter the list based on other criteria, namely the country the user choose in the list. I'm switching from autocomplete to select and writing a custom module that populates the select accordingly.

Thanks to Drupal FAPI security you might find this more difficult than you expect.
Easiest solution (assuming you don't have a million records) is to have the select show all records, and then use a little jQuery to hide the ones who are not in the selected country.
But for that to work (chicken and egg) you need the country to display properly. Hang on a sec that might be a bug...

Ok that was indeed a bug. Fixed it and also pushed out a release since we were overdue for that anyway.

What I did at the end: custom module that alters the form, use the api to fetch all the possible contacts on the select, with all the fields I needed to filter (org name+country) and build an array of contacts grouped by country.

and indeed rebuild the list of options based on that list everytime the user changes a country.

The good part is that I can put whatever I want on the option, as long as the value matches.

Are you doing that server-side or client-side?
